Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Just fire him. He's getting the push of his career and he can't stay clean. I hope it was at least PED's and he was trying to get in better shape rather than hitting recreational drugs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope it was at least PED's and he was trying to get in better shape rather than hitting recreational drugs... If it was for PED's it is just as bad. Last year he was diagnosed with all kinds of heart problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 I have to admit this surprises me. I assumed last night was just an angle to turn Regal back into a wrestler rather than any sort of 60 day suspension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Shit, I'll just find some way to blame this on Kennedy... he's always around when someone is going down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 The Kennedy Curse lives! He's still my favourite, but he really is quite stupid. He of all people given his drug addiction and heart problems should know that this stuff really isn't good for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 It certainly makes the match last night make sense. This is actually shocking to me, even with his history. I was really digging his new power-tripping character too. Shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubq 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 I have to echo the sentiments of wondering why these guys wait until they're getting pushed to get into this shit. To me it just shows that not even the workers respect the wellness policy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Another potentially good storyline lost to drugs. In a way I feel for the WWE, as every time they try, their own Wellness Policy comes around and bites them on the arse. Though, I guess you could argue they shouldn't have been 'blind' to the drug usage for so long and allowed it to become 'acceptable' and 'common practice' as is believed. 2007 Kennedy/McMahon's Son ruined 2008 King Regal/Jeff Hardy ruined Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 I'd almost bet the house that McMahon gives these pushes simply to show whoever...congress, the media, whoever...that he is willing to punish his biggest stars in an effort to get the wellness policy over. Crazy and far-fetched? We're talking about Vince McMahon here, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Well, it was that way with the law firm of DH Smith... and there were many reports stating that McMahon was happy when Hardy got busted... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 I'd almost bet the house that McMahon gives these pushes simply to show whoever...congress, the media, whoever...that he is willing to punish his biggest stars in an effort to get the wellness policy over. Crazy and far-fetched? We're talking about Vince McMahon here, right? There was scuttlebutt that Vince was almost giddy that he got to suspend Hardy. The reasoning was that if Congress ever came calling, he could say, "Hey look! I suspended an insanely popular guy who was in my main events less than a month before his suspension and it kept him out of the biggest show of the year!" And we all know this could be true because Jeff Hardy does not have what McMahon envisions in terms of "the look" in wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perfection 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 That really sucks. Regal's drug use has always been surprising to me. He seems like the last guy on earth to do that type of thing if you watch him out of character. Not to mention the fact that he supposedly went through this campaign of getting clean. A shame he can't get it under control. Ironic thing about it though..when jeff made his return, in the storyline world regal said he had to pay for his sins. I guess the shoe is on the other foot now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luke-o 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Wow, just wow. I mean it'll be fine. McMahon has given him a second chance before, another one's not gonna hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jingus 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 It's not like Regal's the only guy here on drugs. If Triple H and John Cena's bodys are naturally that muscular, then my dick is naturally three feet long. Regal's just the only one who got caught. That we know of. The testing agency doesn't make its results public, it's all handled through the WWE itself. Even aside from that, there are all kinds of ways for the workers to beat a drug test. Although much like birth control, none of them are 100% effective so eventually someone's test will come up positive. Regal happening to piss dirty right now probably has less to do with his push and more to do with their recent change in the testing policy where they actually physically watch everyone pee now.

Mike wanna be 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 We don't even know what got him. Could have been a 'legit' pain pill he couldn't immediately produce a prescription for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 We don't even know what got him. Could have been a 'legit' pain pill he couldn't immediately produce a prescription for. I don't think that they would serve one of their performers with a 60-day suspension just because they "could not immediately" produce a prescription. It is much, much more likely that it is something that is completely prohibited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
