I hope they are just not going into steroids because that sounds better. All drugs should be looked into. I know some people in TNA were tested positive for other drugs, but I haven't seen anything in relation to punishment.
For the TNA deal, is it 15 with steroids and 11 with other drugs, or are the 11 in with the 15. I was going to compliment TNA's talent with a 25% rate, but didn't add the 11 on the 15.
As for the weed stats, it's tough to get a good statistical view on the roster with weed drug testing, saying that weed can stay in the system for up to 30 days (according to people who have to get drug tested before coming on job sites in Alberta, but I guess they say 30 days to keep safe). So if someone is tested one day, and tested another day (since it's random), that will make two failures.

It would be hilarious if the government started testing WWE and regulating them. The hilarious thing is that half the guys on the roster will start to look like Jeff Hardy. It would really funny if Batista got smaller. Just think of the photoshops. LOL

dear god, Even I felt convinced by Mcmahon's Final speech in his interview
"A Whoa, whoa, whoa. You haven't asked me okay. Again, what I would like to state here is that this company puts smiles on people's faces all over the world. We do it in a responsible manner. We're a public company on the New York Stock Exchange. We have lots of fun, by the way, doing what we do. It's a wonderful company. It entertains millions of people. I'm very proud of our company. I'm very proud of the wellness policies through the years that we put into place, very proud of everything that we've done to make this a safer environment and to enhance the performance of all around performrs and to create a better product, which we do every conceivable day, try to create a better product. I feel as though that this has been a complete witch hunt, and I feel as though despite what you said earlier, I think there is no question in my mind. Hopefully when the public reads this report they will keep in mind, and as best as possible I will remind them as well, not that it will matter, and as the media goes they're only going to want to print what they want to print. But I will state once again that when the chairman of this whole thing, Waxman, determines without any testimony here today that this wellness program is full of crap, my words not his, that's what he means, then we can only expect you guys, the minions who work for him, may only expect then that you write some sort of report that substantiates his point of view. And again I find it irresponsible for a Congressman to state something like that prior to all of this testimony, totally irresponsible. So for the record, I am certain that whatever it is, despite all the wonderful things that we've done, that no one else in the history of this business has ever done, despite all of that, you're here to in some way attack us, when in fact the Wellness Policy is a very good policy, it's one that has evolved and will continue to evolve regardless of what you guys have to say. It didn't take an act of Congress, didn't take Waxman, didn't take the media, didn't take anybody along those lines to tell us what we should do from a responsible standpoint. We've had three of these programs that we put into place voluntarily. We're concerned where our performers are concerned and good business people, by the way, and want to do good business. It didn't take any of that crap like baseball or anything else. No one had to tell us what to do. We did what we did because it was the right thing to do for our business. So there are so many other really good things which we'll try to give you in terms of information you don't have that are positves. All of this has been an attack on the company, all of this has been extraordinarily negative today. Almost every bit of it has been let's try and getcha and it's been negative, negative, negative. So again I'm not expecting anything, nor should the public expect anything other than some sort of scathing report from your committee chaired by the guy who alreay prejudged us, Waxman. We can't expect anything, nor can the public expect anything other than something that's rotten coming out of this committee. And I want to say that for the record. And that's all I've got to say. Have a nice day."

from stephs interview damn steph she says CM Punk is not goog looking Well, is she really wrong? Remember, especially at the time, his appearance suggested that he was allergic to shampoo. There are several guys in the WWE who might not be considered classically good looking. Punk could be one of them in some people's eyes.

Glad its being brought to light but to be honest i doubt anything will be done about it- as long as someone has a legit prescription for steroids they will not be violated WWE dosent even check for verification (Signature Pharmacy).

I think the deal with Candice Michelle also showed the importance of proper training, and you see more girls waiting a very long time before being brought up to wrestle full time after being signed. I feel that injury could have been prevented of Candice was allowed more time in developmental for training.

From Steph's interview: I can think of two off the top of my head. They asked Vince the same and he mentioned a Trips/Orton segment but, claimed that it was ad-lib and not scripted. Might be the same that Steph was thinking.

Might be the same that Steph was thinking. As wrong as the HHH/Orton incident was, the incident with Masters was much worse. For starters. it looked to me like Masters was not too shocked that HHH said what he said, which means that it was not ad-libbed. Second, Masters was a midcarder who started losing matches and was publicly made fun of when he got off of the juice, which was very much the wrong damned message.

Vince interview
Q The journalist, a wrestling journalist, Dave Meltzer, in a July 2007 piece compiled ‐‐
Mr. McDevitt. That's an oxymoron.
BY MR. LEVISS: Q ‐‐ a list of 60 or over 60 former professional wrestlers who in his assessment had died early. Are you familiar with ‐‐
Mr. McMahon. I'm not familiar with anything Dave Meltzer writes. He's a gossip columnist. I don't read what he has to write. Like I say, he's a dirt monger. There are a number of those. We call them dirt sheets and they have very little credibility.
BY MR. COHEN: Q What about ‐‐ some of his work received coverage in a number of other more mainstream outlets, for example, Sports Illustrated. I believe Frank Deford did a story on the Meltzer numbers. Are you familiar with that?
Mr. McMahon. Look, I've borrowed one of Frank Deford's shoes one night. He doesn't like me.
Q Are you familiar with his story?
Mr. McMahon. No. Other than Frank Deford wrote something derogatory. But, you know, he has no sense of humor and he doesn't like me. We were bowling one night and I borrowed one of his shoes and he never found it. And so he had to walk home in a bowling shoe and one of his others, and he was upset about that I understand.
Mr. Leviss. I'm going to have to note that would be upsetting too.
Mr. O'Neil. Now we know the rest of the story.
Mr. McDevitt. You're hearing something for the first time, too. I never heard that one.
Mr. McMahon. Well, actually I also borrowed one of his wife's shoes, too.
Mr. McDevitt. That's a whole different story.
Mr. McMahon. I left that part out.
Mr. Leviss. I take it she was not your size.
