Kane seems to have stepped it up a lot since the MVP feud. They had weirdly good matches together.

Oh, Dr. Black...

Uncle?

Meltzer at WC:

Brakkus was on WWF & ECW TV at the same time, I believe, as well as various others during "WWF vs ECW."

Anyone know exactly what the 59:1 ratio was? Bryan Alvarez is sure it's T/E but other people think they heard it differently.

Well, post-wellness policy he's believed to be clean.

In fairness, Edge is believed to be clean of steroids.

There's also not booking a wrestler with the gimmick of "LOL HES ON STERIODS LOL."

Yeah. I rmember the Owen Hart death, and after about 2 weeks people stopped talking about it, same with Eddie, although in that case they all kept there mandatory RIP Eddie signartures for a couple of months. Those were not as big news stories as what happened 3 weeks ago and the fallout from it. That's nice.

You're shocked that the biggest story in the history of the wrestling business, involving three deaths, would be gone after 3 weeks when new information was about to come in?

It just occurred to me that it was a joke to a call gay Jew "The Grand Wizard."

Wait, there are people who don't like late '70s-early '80s Vince? I've never come across them.

Also, I'm sure he delegates things to people who know to distort the truth to him. Arn (or whoever) tells Vince that Benoit passed his last drug test and Vince doesn't ask any questions.

I wouldn't say ONLY, if just because he's a very strange, complex person.

His doctor was sure steroid abused caused it. As far as everyone else: When the talking point is often that wrestlers die at whatever faster rate than the general population, you SHOULD include all deaths. ------------------------------------ Meanwhile... Blah blah blah, you weren't there, nobody dies from steroid abuse, etc...

"MAYBE HE JUST DID STEROIDS THE DAY HE DIED!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111" No.

Oh, totally, and it will lead to the frighteningly transparent talking point that Kennedy floated on Fox News as the company line: Benoit only took steroids the last 2 months of his life!!!!!!!1111111 I know Vince was less insane then, but he and the rest of the company handled themselves soooooooo much better during the sex scandals.

Agreed. Benoit is being mentioned less and less in each story, and it will keep going that way onto the tox results are all back.

Mark Henry is awesome, though he's about to be buried for it...

It's the closest parallel Re: regulation/drug testing.
