Now again, this is grain of salt time, and there are no official sources per se, but just from looking twitter feeds, there seems to be a rumor going around that Hero's medical tests showed a high level of testosterone. I'm guessing the insinuation is steroids.
The only "source" I found for it was @xcessupdate who tweeted:
"Chris Hero's physical for WWE showed high signs of testosterone. Sources say deals off... for now."
The reason I am passing this along is not to kill any hopes of KOW in WWE, because I am hoping right there with you, but I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about this, because though I don't think this site the tweeter is from is legit in and of itself, I have seen stuff pasted on there that was from other relatively more legit sites. So basically, has anyone heard anything about this from another source?
I really hope this is not the case! I want my Hero now!

Mason Ryan is under contract. Their arguement is invalid.

Too much testosterone? Did he score "To Be Continued..." on the Daniel Bryan Manliness Meter or something?
I know there's probably a serious reason, I just like the idea of Chris Hero being too manly for WWE.

Mason Ryan is under contract. Their arguement is invalid. Edge, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, Booker T, and Sin Cara all took suspensions for steroid use while selling more merchandise, garnering more fan support, and having more upside overall than Mason Ryan. This argument is invalid. |

Isn't Xcessupdate, or another account related to that ringsidexcess site that twitter which was the only place to claim there was going to be "one more shocking release to come" that day we had all the releases back in the Summer, only to try and backpeddle once that never happened?

You're right, I remember that. I could have sworn I have seen something more of a legitimate nature on there, but I do vividly remember that day where we were waiting all day for that last release that was supposed to blow our minds. The release that never came. Point definitely taken. I guess since I saw a few people on twitter posting some befuddled "Sucks about Hero" tweets, that I thought there might be another source floating around. |

I think it's legit. It's posted on WNW. Can't link since I have no account with them. WNW seems credible, atleast to me. On their site, it says:
"Top ROH Star Doesn’t Get WWE Contract As Expected After Baseline Drug Test Reveals Elevated Testosterone Levels"
So I guess no Hero/KOW in the WWE?

I was VERY excited with the news of KoW coming to WWE but am left shaking my head at what a dumbass Hero is. WWE has a well-known wellness policy so you know that they'd test you prior to employing you to make sure that you aren't anything. He blew what will most likely be his only shot. Hope he enjoys the rest of his career on the indies.....

I was checking the Twitter feed of @xcessupdate, and saw that they said that the person who would be released was John Morrison. Wow.

If he was doing steroids or something while he's trying to get into WWE then that's just incredibly stupid. That's like me smoking a blunt the day before I go to take a drug screen for a really important job.

So he's the Desmond Wolfe in this situation. I guess that means he'll go to TNA only for them to ignore his health until he legitimately ruins his career.

I'll wait until a legit. source reports it first.
That said, it wouldn't shock me.
