yea I know there is a wwe thread, but this pretty big news in the world of wrestling so I think it deserves its own thread.
In an article by T.J. Quinn of the New York Daily News, the newspaper received a list of wrestlers who were clients of Signature Pharmacy. The names listed were:
Randy Orton
Charlie Haas
Adam Copeland aka Edge
Robert Huffman aka King Booker
Shane Helms aka Gregory Helms
Mike Bucci aka Simon Dean
Anthony Carelli aka Santino Marella
John Hennigan aka John Morrison
Darren Matthews aka William Regal
Ken Anderson aka Mr. Kennedy
Chavo Guerrero
Based on records obtained through sources by the Observer months back, Copeland's last reported prescription came several years ago, when he was recuperating from neck surgery. So many of these incidents here may have predated the Wellness policy implemented in February 2006. It is known Orton and Helms' had transactions that predated the policy, and that the timing of both Copeland and Helms' transactions at the time came during periods of injury rehabilitation. So it may not yet be the time to make Ken Anderson look like a fool, depending on the date, because he has admitted use prior to February of 2006.
It is by no means confired that these men are among the ten who were suspended earlier today.
WWE was aware of many of the names months ago from a Sports Illustrated investigation and chose not to suspend the wrestlers at the time because the time frame predated the Wellness policy.
If the prescriptions did predate the policy, suspensions are questionable, but perhaps due to government pressure, WWE feels it has no choice. If the prescriptions were dated after February of 2006, the company had little choice in the matter.
Three other names, now deceased, Chris Benoit, Brian Adams and Eddy Guerrero were also on the list. There are believed to be several more former WWE wrestlers on the list.

All Sport's are fucked not just Wrestling.

Everyday people do more drug's than a lil' aswell...
Who gives a fuck IMO.
If someone want's to die then let's let them die.

Looks liek John Cena is gonna be champion for a couple more years :'(
LMAO @ Funaki's 110 pound ass juicing up. He better get a refund for that shit.

Darren Matthews aka William Regal

Chavo is done too. This is chance thought to push new talent, like a Shelton or Carlito. ECW is going to need a new champion, look for CM Punk to finally win, and with Kennedy and Umaga out, Carlito looks to have another IC title run in him.
-
I guess that means the paternity angle is over too, wow a lot of stories are gon be finished.
I wulnt be suprised if WWE as we know it now changes forever, less tv shows, less ppvs, less wrestlers.
-
Darren Matthews aka William Regal
lol,steroids?? 12 pack of pabst blue ribbon maybe but not roids
LMAO!!! I can understand Regal though. A couple of years ago he looked like complete shit. He's made some effort to condition himself, unfortunately it was probably sticking a needle in his ass (no homo).
I was hoping Kennedy would get pushed to the main event :'(
-
this could have a little positive to it
it might mean wwe has to get their ass in shape and come up with creative storylines and angles so they dont lose peoples viewing

Yeah i think things are about to change this might be good, i was tired of guy like Batitsta and Orton anyways.
I wonder how well HHH and John Cena are protected during this because im sure they dint get those body by simply working out.

hopefully wrestlers that deserve a push get a push now.

WWE has fired Mike Bucci (aka Simon Dean), the company's Talent Development Manager. The New York Daily News mentioned Bucci's name as a client of the Signature Pharmacy.

Oh well. He was in a managerial position so that's no surprise. He sucked ever since he joined the WWE. He was good in ECW as Nova.

The Gov't does since this is a business that millions watch and makes millions of dollars the performers are dropping like flies.

well, Morrison dropped the title to Punk on the ECW taping today.
and Rey beat Chavo in an 'I Quit' match at the SD taping today.
so it seems that these two are definitely in the 10 who are being suspended.
and tomorrow for Raw's taping, Umaga will face Hardy; so Hardy might win the IC title then.
speaking of Umaga, him and Kennedy have both been pulled from the house show cards.
-
So far the ones that are basically confirmed are:
Umaga
John Morrison
Mr. Kennedy
Chavo Guererro
Eugene (possibly since if my memory serves me correctly, he has substance abuse problems in the past)
-
^^ i read a few minutes ago Eugene didn't get fired because of this whole situation but because he violated (no sexual) the Wellness Policy again.

and here is a prop as my form of apology
-
:P
i hope orton doesnt get suspended, but he probably wont win the title at unforgiven now
mr kennedy suspended, i wonder if theyre gonna continue the *spoiler* mr mcmahon's son storyline *spoiler* now
and umaga will probably lose the title then yeah..just when i thought they were gonna give the IC title some more credibility
by the way, :laugh:@funaki bein on the list

Wrestling is not a sport. Who the fuck cares if they take drugs?
The Gov't does since this is a business that millions watch and makes millions of dollars the performers are dropping like flies.
LMAO. Once again Wrestling is not a sport. So why punish those people who take steroids and painkillers? They don't do it to illegally win a match, or to take an illegal advantage against their opposition. Everybody knows it's all pre-written and shit. They take steroids to recover better from injuries and to have a body always in good shape, even if somehow they can't train hard for a few days. But they don't fool people, and they don't take advantages against opponents. So what's the point? Let them take steroids, who the fuck cares? Is it legal to take steroids in the U.S. for a normal people? If it is, they shouldn't punish those wrestlers. If it's illegal, then they should punish those wrestler for the simple fact they're using an illegal thing (and not because they're somehow related to the WWE).
Let's be real.

Let's be real.
Steroids are illegal in the states unless its for a medical condition which most of these wrestlers arent taking them for normal medical reasons.

Ok. I didn't know. So it's right to punish them.

*** SPOILER ALERT***
Jeff Hardy beat Umaga as expected; however, it doesn't seem like that's how Umaga was written off.
Umaga later teamed w/ Carlito against HHH; at the end, HHH used a sledgehammer to bust Umaga open and leave him in his own pool of blood.
Regal also got written off after being beaten up John Cena.
-
**spoilers**
damn, regal is/was so damn funny
and i hope triple h is going to be a heel again
-
Chris Masters apparently is another one suspended, this time for 60 days.
He's violated the policy before and he violated it again with the recent bust.
-
and i hope triple h is going to be a heel again
For some reason, I hate Triple H as a heel. I know I'm in the minority with that one though.

Right when he was about to start a feud with "The American Bad Ass" Undertaker Chuck Palumbo too

I hate him as a heel too. I also hate him as a baby face. And as a writer. And most importantly I hate him as a son in law.

I absolutely adore him as a patient though.
Those 6 to 10 months every few years he spends as a surgey patient is some of the best work ever done in pro-wrestling by any wrestler.

y u hate hhh somuch? he fucked ur sister?

Probably because he cuts terrible promos, is ugly as sin, and his in-ring work is questionable at best. He's completely undeserving of his spot, and if Stevie Richards had knocked up Stephanie, he would be a 5-time WWE champion.

hhh became champ at least 1-2 before they got married.
Honestly tho besides Rvd who was crazy over in 01-02 who else deserved to win it back then??? I think they should of given it to RVD back then but besides him the guys hey put and the guys they had for that amtter were unworthy and at the same time dint help him look good i mean common....Steiner, NAsh, Goldberg, Kane ( hes good i like him but hes not a world champ ) .

Kane isnt world champ material because they buried his character. He went from a fuckin monster in 1997-1998 to a cancer patient now.

I wish that's all he did. Then I wouldn't mind him so much. This guy used his HBK's buddy status to climb over people and it only got worse when he married Steph, or even started dating her. Jericho was ready to be a top heel until he and Steph booked his short title run into the ground. RVD wasn't allowed near the belt. Booker T got fucked over. It wasn't just that he had the title for so long, it was that he went up against every up and comer and killed them before they were ready to be seen as top dog material. After Benoit won the title it was all HBK vs HHH in the storylines. After Orton won the title HHH made him look like a punk with in a few week and it took Randy years to recover. The only reason Edge got to where he is the past year or so is because HHH was out with an injury. Goldberg was booked to fail. Steiner and Nash were a waste of time. There were so many things that could have been done to help the product out when Raw was in the toilet but they just kept running with HHH is God and cannot be beaten. While Smackdown was going strong the only thing they could think was taking guys off Smackdown and ruining that show just to make Raw look better. The Invasion angkle should have been the beginning of a 2 to 3 year bom in the industry. Instead we got McMahon's ego booking uit into the ground and the return of HHH as the follow up to that ruined angle.

Not so much. Austin had his own issues. One of which being upset that he couldn't perform so well anymore due to his neck injuries. Austin was so much more money than HHH could ever dream of being. If Austin really wanted to stay on a full schedule as champion during 2003 and 2004 he would have gotten it.
-
HHH was a decent performer before he bulked up and tore his first quad. I watched some old match and he did a spinning heel kick. I was like :o because I forgot that he was able to actually jump off the ground. Now he's ass.
I'm not sure if I would blame Randy Orton's situation just on HHH. I'm sure the WWE were willing to give him the title on more than one occasion after his first reign, but he would do stupid things and get chance-after-chance just because he's HHH's boy.
-
Darren Matthews aka William Regal
lol,steroids?? 12 pack of pabst blue ribbon maybe but not roids
He did almost die of constant use of valium & probably some other stuff he did. And he said he shoulda been dead from the stuff he was taking. :eh: And what's strange is that the wrestlers you'd think that woulda been dead already cause of all the drugs, booze & the demons are still alive. Like Scott Hall, Jake the Snake, & Tammy Sytch to name a few.
-
this could have a little positive to it
it might mean wwe has to get their ass in shape and come up with creative storylines and angles so they dont lose peoples viewing
There's so many things 2 talk about on this subject. WCWF doesn't care about losing the viewing of the smart fans. They should care, but they don't. They only care about making money. They only hope that the casual fans/brainwashed sheep don't break free from the spell & turn into smart fans too or they'd be in deep shit. And they most likely ain't gonna push Benjamin or the other talented wrestlers either. If they did care about the smart fans, theyda builded the company 4-5 years ago with these wrestlers as champions. Booker T, RVD, Guerrero, Benoit, the WGTT. And have them be multiple time champs instead. But Vince mcJackass mainly wants tattooed, rocked up giants who can't carry a match & wrestle great as champs. I know that those mentioned were champ but shoulda been champ longer & more than once. And Benjamin would get screwed over a lot :(. I'm glad I stopped watching WCWF a few years back. I mainly find out what happens there on wrestling sites. I thought Orton was Vince's boy :o . I swear, Orton could rape Stephanie & Vince would still never fire him.
And there are some wrestling rants on youtube and people will tell the flaws of both WCWF & TNA.

I know. Why the fuck is Jake Roberts alive?
