He should have just said "I was promised a better gimmick and a run with the CW belt if I took them." PS: Troll. Trollie-Troll. Troll troll troll. Trrrrrroooooooollllllll Fixed for accuracy. Seriously, have you contributed anything worthwhile to any discussion that wasn't flame bait?

I was just kidding around, I thought it'd be obvious enough to where I wouldn't need to use one of the goofy emoticons to get it over.

Wow...how...wow. Honestly, the guy is a comic book nut and The Hurricane was most likely his idea. Hurricane was a great character, but after so many years of it, it was time to move on. Also, Nice CW Belt reference. Goodness knows, the WWE Crusierweights are the primer place to go to find steriod abusers. Why don't you believe that the steroids were for injuries? Just wondering. 10-1 he won't have a logical explination I'll give him the benefit of a doubt. I've had a few good back-and-forths with him over TNA. However, I am just wondering why he'd seemingly disregard Helms's injury. Okay...I get it. Some dry humor. I've had a long day so my "sarcasm" meter isn't very strong. I figure that you don't like the "emoticons" but...maybe next time you could throw one out there. Just suggesting.

However, I am just wondering why he'd seemingly disregard Helms's injury. You know I do serious debates most of the time. This other guy obviously doesn't know me and is just making a lame assumtion based on a few jokey posts. I was kidding in this case though.

Helms complaint of negativity in the news is true in mainstream news as well.
It's why I don't watch the news, it's too negative, and if it's not biased in one direction, than it's just biased in the other it seems.

I just can't post serious stuff all the time, I'll try to make it more obvious in the future when I'm kidding - I already got enough E-enemies here without accidentally drawing more. Hopefully me and you are cool though, I dig your posting style and we've had good debates.

You people need to learn the media is filled with liberals. They put good stories in the back of the paper such as what the soldiers do in the war. I heard the soldiers captured roughly 250 Al Qaida people last week but it was on page 6 and a tiny little story. Yet on the front page, it had some bullcrap about how the soldiers killed/raped some Iraqis. Just so you know, only a few select people raped or embarassed the soldiers and it gave the entire military a bad name because of the media.
Also back when my brother was in high school, he had a friend who's brother went to the rival school. Well the two schools were to play in a football game that weekend and they had "quotes" from the players. Turns out his friend never said any of those quotes.
Don't believe everything you read people because reporters usually twist it or add untrue things to it. The media feels humans have inate properties which cause us to like to hear stories about bad things. I'm not disagreeing with it because it's true to an extent but they need to show some good stories. It'll never happen but whatever.

Yeah, but everything revolves around the almighty dollar. Tragedy sells the most newspapers, so while I agree with your sentiment I can't agree with faulting the media for only doing what everyone in our society does - follow the green paper.

So...it looks like there are going to be people doubting any explanations on this topic. I believe Helms. He had a prescription that helped his injury. The time period in regards to the "research" is about right. Now, Randy Orton and his 8 different types of steroids? I'd be less likely to believe the "I was injured!" excuse. ...and so begins the internets "EVERYONE EXCEPT ORTON HAS AN EXCUSE! HE'S A GASHEAD!"

Ortons had like....3 injurys early in his career though. I think I even heard that from an early foot injury he'd never totally have the feeling back in his foot or something. I didn't know about the 8 different kinds though. Source?

I think I even heard that from an early foot injury he'd never totally have the feeling back in his foot or something. I didn't know about the 8 different kinds though. Source? Source: PWInsider.com Audio - Major drug testing took place at the TV tapings today. You can likely expect many suspensions in the coming weeks. - WWE was aware that this story was coming, so it wasn't a big shock to them. - Shortly before the story broke yesterday afternoon, Vince McMahon's mood totally changed backstage. It wasn't so much anger as it was concern. - When TNA wrestler Kurt Angle was named in the investigation a few weeks ago, some people in WWE said stuff along the lines of, "Serves him right, he was a jerk when he was leaving here." However, when the tables were turned on WWE with some of their wrestlers being named, a few people were shook up to say the least. - Many in WWE are starting to wonder if the Wellness Policy will return to being how it was before where a number of guys were suspended. - The wrestler who looks the worst in all of this is obviously Randy Orton. He's been linked to eight drugs and there's no reason to be using that many unless you are indeed abusing them, even if you have legal prescriptions for everything.- If nothing else comes out from all of this, at the very least the wrestlers named will now be painted with the "Oh, he's the guy named in the steroids thing" from here on out. WWE could have a problem with even more fans going along with the steroid chants and that sort of thing at events, and they obviously don't want that. Yeah, but everything revolves around the almighty dollar. Tragedy sells the most newspapers, so while I agree with your sentiment I can't agree with faulting the media for only doing what everyone in our society does - follow the green paper. Yea I know it's about the money but it's sort of annoying.

I was a little off, it was 8 prescriptions for 6 different drugs. sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more/03/19/wrestlers/index.htmlEDIT: I am not saying that he didn't take some for his injuries, (I'd be surprised if he didn't) but, that many in a short period of time is just not right.

You people need to learn the media is filled with liberals. YOU PEOPLE! Actually Crunchy and Hades Gigas are on to something. MD's prescribe steroids all the time, lots of ordinary people cringe when their doctors make them take steroids because of the nasty side effects. The accusation here is going through a shady online pharmacy that pretty much seemed to do brisk business for athletes. Helms' response is very different from Edge's, "Yeah, I already admitted this." Helms is much more, "And I'd do it again tomorrow." Mind you I personally am okay with low-level, non-mass-building steroid use, I think some steroids actually can be safe for athletes. But the issue here is the Rx shopping online, not what they took or why they took it.

6 years ago my asthma was really bad and the doctors gave me steroids. I laughed at the doctor when he said steroid because I thought he wanted me to get diesel but then he explained it to me. I forget what the name of it is but it helped out a lot. I won't say it cured my asthma but I've been fine ever since and that was only off one prescription.

And I freaked when I first heard that's what they were.

You guys are missing the point to this, while yes I can understand WHY they would do this, the fact is they didn't clear it with WWE and they kept it secret...so my assumption is they knew that something COULD happen. Where does it say WWE knew nothing about it or they didn't clear it with them? If it was for injury, then why admit to a mistake they didn't make. Should I issue an apology to my school for taking steroids that were prescribed when I played football for them? If any media source is surprised by this or anyone decides to not watch wrestling due to this than they are the biggest idiots in this world (this goes for anyone and any sport also) and weren't helping the business in any way whatsoever. Hell, the WWE went threw this worse several years ago and I would think that the people honestly outraged by this would know better.
