also from Gerweck:
The WWE was rocked again today, after several of wrestling's top names emerged in the Albany district attorney's probe into a widespread Internet doping scandal.
The wrestling conglomerate based in Stamford announced that it will suspend 10 of its biggest stars for violation of its wellness policy.
In a list obtained exclusively by the Daily News, top wrestlers Randy Orton
Charles Haas
Adam "Edge" Copeland
Robert "Booker T" Huffman
Shane Helms
Mike Bucci
Anthony Carelli
John "Johnny Nitro" Hennigan
Darren "William Regal" Matthews
Ken "Mr. Kennedy" Anderson
Eddie "Umaga" Fatu
Shoichi Funaki
and
Chavo Guerrero were all identified as clients of Signature Pharmacy in Orlando, the site raided by Albany County and Florida law enforcement agencies in February for distributing steroids and other prescription drugs to clients who had not been examined by doctors. The investigation is part of a probe into illegal Internet drug distribution by Albany D.A. David Soares.
ESPN has added the following names:
Dave Bautista (Batista)
Shoichi Funaki
Chris Mordetzky aka Chris Masters
*edit*
moved the names around a bit so its easier to see

I guess the Simon System just comprised of steroids.
Don't see why the jobbers wouldn't accept it, they probably would have been world champions...

Simon is not an 'independant contractor' like everyone else he is actually a employee, that is why he got fired.

It's a shame. I'm sorry it had to happen, but I understand the logic behind it. But hey...in the grand scheme of things, at least he's still alive  |
