On Second Thought.........

----After reading the complete story below about Mysterio's appearance, I have second thoughts on it. It IS well known that Oscar Gutierrez has been prescribed both Stanozolol and Nandralone by Dr. David Wilbirt in Phoenix. It is was posted here and almost every news site available. Why lie about it? Maybe as Meltzer says here it is because he is a kid's hero type character. Who knows??
--Rey Mysterio was on Fox News today. They asked him about steroids and he said he had never taken steroids. They asked what would it mean if his name was released in an investigation and he said they would only find he was taking pain medication. He said the wrestlers of today were a different breed from their predecessors. Brian Kilmeade said Kurt Angle was four times the size he was in the Olympics and that he was a patient of Dr. Phil Astin (I hadn't heard that) and Mysterio didn't respond. Mysterio said the wrestlers are there to entertain and that's all they do, and he plugged SummerSlam. He said his connection with Astin was for pain medication due to his six different knee operations. He said he never knew Chris Benoit used steroids and even though he called him a very close friend, said they had never talked about steroids. Vince or John Laurinaitis really need to talk with everyone. It's already been reported that an investigation uncovered Oscar Gutierrez being prescribed both Stanozolol and Nandralone by Dr. David Wilbirt in Phoenix. The company already has a bad rep to the public and they really should encourage the wrestlers not to make it worse. Mysterio seemed uncomfortable when the question of steroids came up. I don't know if he wasn't coached and he panicked on the air. Mysterio is different in the sense he's a kids hero and perhaps the company would want him to deny, but if I had to guess, I'd guess different. When people representing the company go on TV like that and kill credibility, it hurts the company, particularly right now when the company needs to maintain whatever credibility it has.
