I like how some are quick to turn this into a chance to take shots at HHH, Cena, etc.
Wang got busted, but since a lot of people love him, it's easy to brush it off and attack anyone else but him

It may be irresponsible to look at the higher up muscle heads and say they must be taking something. But the inner skeptic looks at this: and this: and ends up a little like this:

What drug could he of possibly been taking? Could have been anything. Can't rule out the possibility he was juicing, if Funaki was on Roids, I think practically anyone on the roster could be. Not saying he was, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility until we hear otherwise. Funaki was on stuff for anti-aging. That does come as a real shock. My personal guess maybe perscription pain medication not subscribed to him or something along those lines. That's just my guess. It's weird, usually when someone get busted its always, STEROIDS OH MY GOD, CALL NANCY GRACE!!!!!! But to me, pain pills are a much bigger problem then steroids. I think this may come to a shock to everybody, but they actually test for more then just steroids in the wellness policy. I know, it's crazy as steroids is what everybody says, which kinda shows what kind of grip the idea of steroids has on pop culture. In the words of Kevin Nash, pain pills just isn't sexy enough for tv (well, along those lines anyway).

Jimmy Wang Yang the smallest guy on the roster got busted for drugs? What the Smurf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But........... ............how.......... ...............when........... ............... the hell? ?? I'm so confused. How in the hell could this guy be taking steroids. Okay thats it. I no longer trust WWE's drug suspension program. There is no way this could be possible. Ever noticed how the only big man ever caught with steroids was Chris Masters who was only a midcard? Everyone else who has been suspended has also been only midcard and medium sized guys. How is it that no one in the main event scene has been suspended? Sorry but that just sounds way too convenient for WWE. I highly suspect something wrong is going on within WWE right now with all this bullcrap.

A lot of people hated when the media would just say, steroids this and steroids that, like being crazy or having mental problems sounded completely ridiculous. And even here, it's the same. When Joey Mercury and Chris Masters got suspended a few years ago, Masters was for pain medication, and Mercury was for, well, pretty much everything (which is why he spent 4 months in rehab instead of 28 days). Why is this no different. I highly doubt its steroids, and if it isn't, then Yang may have a bigger problem on his hands, because those pain pills can be hard stuff. And also, for people who keep bringing up Cena, Triple H, Batista, etc. Maybe, just maybe, they're not on steroids, and that's why they didn't get busted.

I'm gonna take a guess and say it was LSD, and that he got it from Shannon Moore. That damn kids a bad influence on Jimmy, if I've said it once I've said it a thousand times.

I remembered Morrison (don't really consider him main event right now) but, forgot about Umaga. Also, Jeff Hardy went from main eventing 2 straight PPVs to suspended for Wrestlemania.

There is no other reason he would have come back looking all skinny with only half the muscle he use to have. King and JR even said something about him being lean. I know what you guys mean about it might not being for steroids but it just seems odd how no REAL MAIN EVENT guy has been suspended. Sure Randy Orton was suspended but I highly bet it was not for drugs. Sure they said it was but with all his backstage attitude I wouldn't be surprised if they hid that just to help his image.

As for the subject at hand, he wasn't doing much anyways so can't say this will affect anything.

Sure Randy Orton was suspended but I highly bet it was not for drugs. Sure they said it was but with all his backstage attitude I wouldn't be surprised if they hid that just to help his image. If you will read, I never said Masters wasn't suspended for steroids. The second time he was suspended, he was for steroids. The reason he didn't have muscle is because he lost 15 pounds of muscle during rehab, because he was focusing more on cardio, and he was actually planning on staying that size (similar to how Scott Hall was on steroids in WCW, but dropped 30 pounds when he got to WWE and felt it was a better weight). I used them as examples for people who went in for more then just steroids. With Randy Orton, I think it ended up being steroids among other possible drugs. From what I heard in shoot interviews and stuff, Randy just had a few of his own personal demons to deal with. Keep in mind, they also suspended Kurt Angle during his time in WWE. Would he qualify as a real main eventer, or no? Again, with a guy like Triple H, I read that he literally eats 10,000 calories a day. The average human being eats 2000. Plus, there are so many legal ways to get bigger nowadays, using steroids seems almost pointless (but I guess it's still probably the fastest). I'm currently taking really good creatine, excersizing everyday, and consuming high amounts of protien, and I notice it is helping out a bit. Plenty of real main eventers have been suspended. What you mean though is Cena, Triple H and Batista, and they are the only ones who should be suspended, according to you and others. The problem with the wrestling business, and with the mainstream media when it pertains to wrestling is they are ignoring the real problem. Steroids isn't what's killing people. Pain pills, somas, vicadin, take your pick, this is what is killing wrestlers. It's an entire cocktail of drugs in general that's killing people. And I'm not trying to downplay the possible negative effects of steroids, but this is a major issue. People need to stop thinking of steroids as the posterdrug of the many issues of the wrestling business. Because whille some guy is doing steroids and is being lambasted in the media, the guy doing the pills is being ignored.

Although I have to ask, if it is HGH, and it largely does the same thing as steroids, why don't all wrestlers do it if it's undetectable instead of risking it with steroids? HGH is apparently pretty damn expensive to get the undetectable kind. My guess is that the top guys may have industry contacts to get the expensive kind while the lower downs cannot find the undetectable kind, therefore they use steroids

Can I just make mention of some rumours I heard while Wang was in ROH that he liked the wacky backy Weed isn't made public like other drugs are. Plus, one isn't suspended for weed, they just get a $1000 fine. What's going to happen is most wrestlers are just gonna take the fine and continue to smoke weed.

Awww what the crap! I hope whatever it is he doesn't keep making the same mistake. Of course the good news is this immediately slots him as a future tag champ, if it's steroids anyway.[/bad bad joke, not to be taken serious at all]

Ok here's my wacky defense for good old Akio (it's what I still call Wang)
The WWE found out right before the last pay-per-view that someone failed the wellness but would not release the name to the public.
After the last pay-per-view a wrestler goes on hiatus for an undisclosed amount of time..... THE UNDATAKAH!!!!
But if news that such an icon of the industry failed wellness it would spell disaster for the company; they can still suspend him but not acknowledge it to the world. But they need to pin the rap on someone for failing the wellness.
Enter Akio!
He is given the secret truth and is asked to fall on his sword and take the blame for the sake of the company's reputation.
And that's what really happened
