The "Rabid Wolverine" found dead

[megamania]

At work we were discussing this and decided on two things.....

1.
WWF is in for a thorough investigation of misuse of steriods

2.
In about two years all of the wrestlers are going to look like me......fat, sagged armed and hunched over....

The question is, will there be a congressional hearing following the steroid scandal in the MLB?

2.

And in two years, you'll be more fat, more sagged armed and more hunched over. If I'm in your shoes, I still think it's not fair.

I hope there is. The WWE is due for a cleanup. Vince and the rest of his underlings cannot wash their hands clean anymore of all the death that has befallen the athletes under their employ.

Then who will be the "Jose Canseco" whistle-blower of professional wrestling?

Whoever it is, he'd do best to hide his identity. I've read in various articles that Vince and even the wrestlers themselves don't take kindly to people shining a negative light on their business.

That person will find themselves in a "Hell in a Cell" match.

First, it's WWE. WWF is the World Wildlife Fund who forced the old World Wrestling Federation to stop using their initials in a British court many years ago.

Also, WWE has one of the most stringent anti-steroids drug testing programs including random testing. Supposedly Benoit passed a random test back in April. Chris Jericho is the source of this from a couple of appearances on news/talk shows.

There is a part of the medical community that believes multiple concussions can cause depression and other mental disorders. They have requested access to brain biopsies to see if this may have been the case here.

I don't have links but you can find links at websites like 1wrestling.com and pwinsider.com. (Just turn off javascript before you go there as they are terrible websites when it comes to popups. Even Firefox doesn't block these popups.)

No, they'll just continue working out daily like they do now. Books by various wrestlers talk about finding private training rooms while on the road. It's the source of many humorous anecdotes.

The oddity of this tragedy for me was how I found out about it. At 11pm last Monday, I switched on the last 5 minutes of Raw (since it runs till 11:05) and got to see the finish of the Wrestlemania match where Benoit won his first WWE title belt. As soon as I realized it was a rerun, I knew something bad had happened. Miss a couple years of wrestling and when I do decide to check it out, this is what I get? Too weird.

Bah! Tree-huggers want to put a crimp on our violently-accepted entertainment. Personally, I'd like to put them cute pandas in a MMA match to the death.

We will make the Earth-That-Is to the Earth-That-Was, Al gorram Gore. The only way to make space travel a necessity. After all, many technologies are borne out of desperate need. That and I want to debunk the Star Wars hyperspace theory (though I accept B5 version).

When they lost the rights to WWF I always thought Vince should have dug daddy's old World Wide Wrestling Federation, the WWWF. World wide is very hip on that Internet thing.

Actually, they can't use WWF anywhere, but in america. Since it would be a nightmare, they decided to just go with WWE, instead of using WWF in america, and WWE everywhere else.
