JUST A FEW QUESTIONS…………
Mr. Ross,
Why is WWE so afraid to admit that, there is a consistent and undeniable pattern of steroid/painkiller abuse in the entire wrestling industry? Not just a problem in the WWE but a twenty-year problem in the entire industry. How can McDevitt and the WWE testing doctor appear on national TV and say, with a straight face, that there isn’t steroid use in the WWE, knowing the cartoonish size of the current talent that is “on top”? Can you get that physique from protein powder and vitamins off the shelve at GNC? Why hasn’t Vince demanded 10 to 20% of the talents pay go into a mandatory “Players Fund” or “Wrestler Performers Annuity”, so that when they are fifty, they still have a couple of dollars to live on? For that matter, knowing the short shelve life of a wrestler and the lack of maturity most have to save for the future, why doesn’t Vince have an inner moral code that makes him almost take control of the talents finances and help insure the financial security of the talent? Why is WWE so afraid to be “babysitters” to the talent? Doesn’t the talent deserve it? Why doesn’t Vince strongly suggest, in fact implore that, the talent get involved with someone like Donald Trump and his company to help buy and manage real estate around the country? Why doesn’t the WWE consistently reinforce to ALL it’s talent that, their employment will NOT last forever and they should start to plan for the rest of their life the minute they sign a contract? Wouldn’t any business owner, with a conscious, reinforce that scenario? Why did the WWE suggested to a performer that he should, “hire a nanny” when he desired time off to help his wife with a newborn child? Is that a page out of the “wellness program”? Why did the WWE force Deborah to sign a “gag” order when she claimed Steve Austin hit her? Why does it seem that Vince relishes in developing a star just to pull the rug out from underneath them? How can the WWE, with good conscious, say that the 65 deaths are not their problem when only five were under contract at the time of their deaths? What about the former workers whose addiction started while employed by Vince and the WWF/WWE? Would the owner of a car dealership, accounting firm, construction company have the same pathetic “they weren’t under contract” excuse like the WWE has tried to float by the public for the past few weeks? Why will no one recognize that this business sometimes brings about horrendous demons and the talent often needs help to “exorcise” these demons? Why does the WWE keep talking about personal accountability, when they know the lure of fame, money and validation is so powerful that most people would take any risk to achieve and maintain it? Why has the WWE not replied back the AWA’s desire to start an advocacy group for all retired wrestlers? Is this an indication of their lack of desire to help the entire industry and people who in turn helped Vince build his empire? Will Vince ever rid himself of the “promoter mentality”? Last question. He is a billionaire, he has an intelligent, adoring wife, two beautiful children, he is the undeniable master of an entire industry…he has pulled the winning lottery ticket in life…does he really need to put himself through this kind of “heat”? Will he ever sincerely change the industry or does he deep down enjoy this real life soap opera?

Answer 2

Crush was not signed to any company and the cause of his death is inconclusive. wwe is not in any way responsible for the death of Brian Adams. Nor did chris benoit have a level of steroids in his body to cause roid rage. The wwe shouldn't take blame for the benoit incident which was pre meditated. I don't believe that there is full fact on the benoit case. wwe's wellness program works. wwe does drug testing but the superstars choose to alter them.

Answer 3

WWE is not responsible for their employer's stupidity outside the ring. They are currently drug testing and suspending people who continue to abuse drugs. They require rehab from drug users before they ever step foot in the ring again. For example, Chris Masters was out for a good 5-6 months in rehab, which could have saved his life. The wrestlers just have to take responsibility for themselves.

Answer 4

1

Answer 5

I don't know how WWE or any company can stop the drug abuse of a person who hasn't been employed by them for almost ten years. Honestly, I don't know if they stop drug abuse by their current employees. Look at the Rob Van Dam and Sabu incident last summer. They were pulled over, and found to be in possession of marijuana. Ask yourself, if they weren't pulled over for speeding, would their abuse of marijuana ever have been punished or even known by WWE, and was WWE currently testing for marijuana at the time?

Answer 6

what about the pressure to "make weight" in middle school and high school wrestling which causes eating disorders that may affect the rest of the lives of young men?

Answer 7

With Benoit He should be held accountable for what he did and the drugs he took. no one made him take them.

Answer 8

The last thing we need is more regulations. Leave people alone, and worry about yourself. You can't save the world!

Answer 9

crush did not die via drugs. the cause of his death is still unknown at this moment.

Answer 10

I think they should check more often like every week or something.
