Answer 1

If you're referring to CNN's Special Investigation Unit's report titled "Death Grip: The Dark Side of Pro Wrestling", I watched it last night & I was shocked to know what is really going on in the world of Professional Wrestling. Everyone knows that the action is fake, but the injuries that come from the beatings & poundings that the men & women take every time they step in the ring, they're for real. Some are mild, others serious! I was totally shocked to hear from former wrestlers about their addictions to steroids & other narcotic drugs that I wonder if the WWE's Talent Wellness Policy is making any effort at all to any of its Superstars. Eleven Superstars from the WWE had served their suspensions for being on a list from an online lab that distributes performance enhancing drugs just recently & untill last week, two superstars were put on suspension for violating the policy (One for sixty days, the other thirty days). It seems that steroid & drug abuse has become such a problem not only in wrestling, but in all professional sports. Congress has told Major Leauge Baseball recently to clean up its act or they will & the message has also been sent to the NFL, NBA, NHL, & all other pro leauges around, but are they sending the same message to the WWE & all other promotions to do the same? That's a question that's hard to answer at this point. And during the special last night, the reporter asked Vince McMahon if the WWE was now steroid free & he couldn't answer it to the best of his knowledge & it just felt like that he was stonewalling the whole time. All in all, I was shocked, but well informed as to what's really going on behind the scenes in the WWE & they need to be aware that the fans are not stupid to know that their favorite superstars at times could be "juiced" up when they come out to perform & if they're taking steroids, their livelyhood is likely on the balance at this point in time. You don't get paid if you violate a policy if you test positive for any illegal drug & you have only thirty - sixty days to clean up your act. I hope the WWE can learn from this & start doing something more to clean up its image as of late. I'm still a fan of wrestling, but it's the dark side of wrestling that I don't like at all.

WWE is either claiming Confidentiality or is betting on Fans and the Presses short-term Memory, because November 1, came and went, without amount Suspended qualified!

Vince said Nine Wrestlers were Suspended, and Vince is the higher Authority, WWE Web didn't qualify the exact number to date, Press releases notated 10, 11, 12, and 13, Wrestlers Suspended, Vince cannot only release Suspensions until he stops, blaming to troublesome!

Timely on November 2, Masters {talk before was he may have been on his second? maybe Quit!} and newcomer Smith were Suspended! Expect book to be closed, with only newcomers Suspended!

Booker T was the only One, of the top Ten Superstars Suspended, and he Quit! He also was refusing to Stop being King Booker for Vince.

We Remember, around the time of Vince's Trial for Supplying Wrestlers Steroids, {Acquitted not Exonerated} he Promised the World Steroid testing, and was Steroid Testing back then, then he Quit testing timed with Baseball, {"to troublesome"} when he started his Football League, becoming the "Genetic Jackhammer."

Raw and ECW ended the Show this week with Vince saying something like "I can do whatever I want!" He can't just "forget about it" this time?

Busted January 2007, for Signiture Online Steroids by the FDA was Edge, Orton, Rey, Angle and Benoit, Instigating Steroid in Sports Investigation that CNN said nabbed 30 Wrestlers!

Dewey Robertson/The Missing Link/Inventer of the Flying Headbutt/RIP- this September, said about Eddie "It's a shame when a Man is required to keep taking Steroids just to keep his job!"

y2j's return was a Lie, nothing but a Cybered Lie!

Chris Benoit "Restocked" and "Displayed" his Steroids for a Reason!

Answer 3

I watched it. I am still trying to digest everything. I know the business can be hard on the guys to be the biggest and the best....but WWE needs to step up and really crack down on the drug problem. I dont want to see anyone else die from this stuff. Vince seemed to always avoid answering the questions head on. I didn't like that. I hated how the show seemed to target Chris and Eddie. I felt so sorry for Chris's dad. You could tell he is so hurt over what happen and that he didn't see it coming.
I think Vince should scrap the old program and start clean and fresh with everyone on board. I mean I don't know if they should go as far and the Olympic committee but there should be some major changes... and some harder consequences.
I dont know maybe Vince is trying to give his players some time to get off the stuff....i dought it, he really seems to prefer the larger wrestlers.

Maddow, attempting to hold back the tears, yet nevertheless attempting to be elitist and pompous replace into fairly humorous. I observed an substitute between Olbermann and Matthews as properly that replace into solid. Matthews replace into on website in Mass. and appeared defeated. i presumed he replace into gonna cry. Olbermann saved attempting to return up with excuses and blame Coakley, Matthews looked as though it would gain that the folk do no longer agree along with his time table. It replace into alluring.
