----WWE's lawyer Jerry McDevitt was a guest on "On the Record" with Greta Van Sustren last night. He confirmed that 10 guys had been suspended and would not reveal their names. He also stated that he expected to see at least 2 more names added to the list today.
----I talked last night with an old friend about the developmental organzations and he stated that he felt the guys there were scared also. OVW and Florida Championship Wrestling both have probably over 50 guys under contract. My thoughts here are that Vince McMachon really needs some people to pick for positive drug tests. The developmental guys feel that since they are not "that important", then Vince could test a bunch of them to go along with his current "superstars". Remember though, the current 10 that are being suspended are NOT because of testing positive. It is because of the findings of the DA.
----Dave Meltzer had the headline "WWE wrestlers are so screwed this time" on his http://www.wrestlingobserver.com/ website last night. He noted that "Based on these dates, the entire policy's credibility is shot in the sense there were detectable drugs purchased by talent through Internet doctors, a practice banned by the company's Wellness policy." He also went on to say "Ken Anderson (Mr. Kennedy) comes across like a complete fool.." in reference to his claims on talk shows about his steroid use.
----I also talked with Meltzer via e-mail last night, because a visitor brought up some questions about Vince that I was not sure of. Is Vince ever tested?? Since the WWE is a public owned company could he be forced to do so or fired from his position?? Meltzer wrote back, "I don't think Vince is tested. He owns 70% of the stock so they canpressure him, but they can't fire him." Typical bs boss stuff here. Vince tells everyone they will be tested, but he is not doing the same thing?? I have been in management and employee positions. I have always felt the boss should follow the same set of rules with maybe a few added perks. If a boss tells you that if you come into work late again, then you will be fired - but he is suppose to be there at 9 and shows up at 11 every day?? How can respect that?
