Terri Runnels appeared in an interview on FOX News earlier this week. Runnels was asked if she felt Vince McMahon was to blame for the steroid problem in wrestling. Terri replied, "Vince McMahon is not a babysitter who tells men and women when to eat, sleep and take a nap, he does not run a day care!" She also added, "Vince McMahon employs adults not children, those adults must be responsible for their own actions!" When asked about her feelings on the wrestling industry, she said, "I have seen some negative things in the wrestling business, but also experienced some wonderful memories...very much like what most individuals experience in their everyday lives. I also have made many friends that I hold near and dear to my heart."
I felt that this was one of the better ansewrs I have heard from an ex-WWE employee about the use of steroids within the WWE. At the same time, we all know that Vince is a body builder and he does like the bigger guys thus making the curve in the WWE to be towards those who are larger. I am sure that anyone wanting to make a big splash in the WWE had better either make a big impact outside of the WWE so that when you come in you have some fanfare or in some way build your body up pretty damn well. An example is Matt Sydal who I relaly don't see doing any ebtter than Kaz did in the WWE just because of his size. At the same time a lof of the current OVW wrestlers arent so big either so what do you think Vince is up to. Is he actually picking up the ball and realizing that some of these leaner guys can go or is he just subsidizing the crusierweight division.

that's a great answer by terri. people act like vince is dancing around a satanic bonfire, laughing maniacally & forcibly injecting people with steroids. i don't know about the future size of wrestlers. cody rhodes is small, but dh smith is big, idk there obviously is room for the smaller size guys, BUT it is professional wrestling so it's always going to be slanted towards the bigger, stronger guys.

Well I think both options are bad.
Matt Sydel is extremely talented but half the moves that he uses currently he wont be able to use in WWE, which makeshim so fun to watch. Personally, I think he'll make a name for himself.

Can I vote for both. I think he will make it to either ECW championship or maybe intercontinetal. I know he won't win a world title, but I doubt he will be fired before he wins a title. Maybe they could have him be put in a tag team and have him win it on SmackDown with another lightweight.

Sounds about right, he won't touch either of the big ones though, that's for sure. I'm sure he'll make a name for himself though.

I think Kaz is a bit of an unfair comparison. He got fired for not cutting his hair like he was told. He had the potential to go far, he just never got the chance because he got fired so quickly.

Right now I'm not sure if he'll make it or not. Time will tell.

He'll probably become Cruiserweight Champion a few times, but I doubt that he's going to make it as far as Rey-Rey did.

I believe Kaz could be the next Billy Kidman if he gets with WWE.

I watch very little TNA but ive liked everything Kaz has done recently with his new push. Im really thinking in the long run WWE might regret letting him go a lil

No, he didn't. Kaz did NOT get fired because he didn't get his hair. He went to creative wanting ideas for his character & they didn't know who he was.

I actually hadn't thought of Kidman when I did this poll. Kidman did make it quite a long time in WWE. I was very surprised at that. So has London and Kendrick so I guess Sydal could make it.

Kaz has said it before.. oh that's ridiculous? You said he got fired for not getting his ing hair! When Kaz was in WWE his hair was long as hell. Look at his hair a few months back in TNA - SHORT HAIR. Explain to me why he wouldn't cut his hair for WWE (according to you) but would do it in TNA? So, if mine is ridiculous then God yours is beyound ridiculous.

So I guess he got fired for not doing what he was told, as opposed to not cutting his hair. I find it very hard to believe that he would be fired just because the WWE creative team didn't know who he was. That doesn't make any sense.

He asked for his release & was granted his release because they (writters) still didn't know who he was after a few months - of being undefeated on TV..

You know what, you're probably right. I can't remember exactly what happened now that I think about it. It's not important enough to argue over any way.

Sydal has the look and build to succeed. His height is his downfall. I still think he could have a good run as a mid level heel.
