I think it's safe to say the official list as of right now is: 1. John Morrison 2. Umaga 3. Mr. Kennedy 4. Chavo Guererro 5. Eugene 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. fixed it for you I know Eugene was fired but where does it question Eugene to have used that Illegal pharmacy unless not all 11 were for using the pharmacy. 1 more question is it 11 with Mike "Simon Dean" Eugene. Anyway I bet Eugene shows up in TNA. However How about a stable D-Ray 3000, Eugene and Shark Boy.

I like Hardy but he needs to cut down on the high risks. The more often he uses them the less they mean. How about only 1-2 a year he does a swanton off a ladder through tables. I'd prefer more creative stuff, he is already creative but he has used the same creative moves for years. How about he puts a ladder in between the top to ropes and sticks his opponent on the top rope and does a Twist of fate. Also when is the last time he did the extreme twist of fate. P.S technically Jeff Hardy has won the world title just not a single world title. He needs a female manager to cut promos after they turn him heel.

No, the official list of now is
1. Morrison 2. Umaga 3. Kennedy 4. Haas [Benjamin wrestled singles @ last nights house show] 5. Booker [was advertised on Friday, didn't appear on the house show] 6. Chavo Guerrero [based on Smackdown spoilers]
Unknown are Masters, Funaki, Marella & Regal who didn't appear at yesterdays shows. Marella is injured and hasn't appeared on House Shows recently, Regal is only GM and they don't always do house shows. Funaki and Masters weren't used on Smackdown tapings, so its possible they are suspended. Masters was going into a feud with Chuck and that was dropped.

I found this and thought everyone might find this to be interestng/useful.... "source: Pro Wrestling Torch
According to Wade Keller of the Pro Wrestling Torch, Randy Orton will not be suspended by WWE despite his name turning up as a client for the corrupt Signature Pharmacy online firm. Things do indeed appear to be in Orton's favor considering that he appeared at last night's Raw house show whereas the other wrestlers listed as being clients of Signature Pharmacy didn't.
WWE is telling people that Orton fessed up to his dealings with Signature Pharmacy a few months ago, and somehow "already did his time." Most of the guys in the locker room are not buying it at all and see this as WWE trying to get out of losing him right now when they need him in his high-profile storyline with John Cena.
Sports Illustrated reported on Thursday night that Orton received Somatropin (HGH), Nandrolone (anabolic steroid) and Stanozolol (anabolic steroid) through Signature Pharmacy from September 2004 until the firm was busted in February 2007. Stanozolol and Nandrolone are anabolic steroids. As noted several times before, buying steroids and other drugs through the Internet is prohibited by the WWE Wellness Policy and should result in a suspension. In Orton's case, it would have been his second offense, which would have called for a 60-day suspension.
WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt noted on Friday night that only one of the eleven wrestlers suspended is a two-time WWE Wellness Policy offender. Out of the fourteen WWE wrestlers listed as being clients of Signature Pharmacy, only Orton and Masters have previous Wellness Policy violations under their belt. Considering that Orton appears to be safe, it looks like Masters is the mysterious second-time offender. Masters didn't appear at last night's SmackDown taping. At last Tuesday's SmackDown taping, it looked he was starting a program with Chuck Palumbo after he chickened out of doing a Masterlock Challenge with him." I also found this... "source: Pro Wrestling Torch
-- As reported earlier, John Morrison lost the ECW World Title to CM Punk. Given the nature of the sudden title switch on free television no less, one would have to assume that John Morrison was one of eleven individuals suspended by WWE on the heels of the Signature Pharmacy drug scandal. Sports Illustrated reported that Morrison was prescribed five different drugs through the Signature Pharmacy drug firm including Somatropin, Anastrozole, Testosterone, Stanozolol and Chorionic Gonadotropin. Considering that it is a violation of the WWE Wellness Policy to purchase drugs through an Internet firm, one would have to assumed that Morrison has indeed been suspended for his infractions.
-- Rey Mysterio took on Chavo Guerrero in an "I Quit" match at tonight's SmackDown taping. The match went about 20 minutes and said to be pretty good. Sports Illustrated reported on Thursday that Guerrero received Somatropin (HGH), Nandrolone (an anabolic steroid) and Anastrozole (to ward off breast tissue development after using steroids) between April 2005 and May 2006 through the Signature Pharmacy drug firm. Because Guerrero purchased drugs over the Internet, he is in violation of the WWE Wellness Policy, thus meaning that he is subject to suspension. Considering that Guerrero wrestled in an "I Quit" match as opposed to a regular match, it looks this was WWE's way of writing Guerrero out of the storylines for the time being. Guerrero definitely looks to be on the suspended list.
-- One wrestler who has apparently been cleared of any wrong doing is Batista. He appeared at tonight's SmackDown taping in a tag match with Kane as they took on The Great Khali and Finlay. He also did a run-in to fend off Khali, who had attacked Mysterio after his "I Quit" match with Chavo Guerrero. To further cement Batista's good standing status, Theodore Long came out soon after and announced a change in the SmackDown main event at Unforgiven. He said that Khali wil be defending his belt in a triple threat match. It will be Khali vs. Mysterio vs. Batista. ESPN.com reported on Thursday that Batista was a client of the busted Signature Pharmacy firm. However, his name was never implicated in the back-breaking article by Sports Illustrated. It appears as though that Batista has been cleared.
-- Two other active SmackDown performers listed as being clients of Signature Pharmacy by the media include Chris Masters and Funaki. Neither individual appeared at tonight's SmackDown taping. Sports Illustrated reported that Funaki purchased Somatropin (HGH) in March 2006 through Signature Pharmacy -- which would be a violation of the WWE Wellness Policy because he purchased a drug online. ESPN.com reported on Thursday that Chris Masters was a client of the busted Signature Pharmacy firm, but his name was never implicated in the article by Sports Illustrated. Granted, Funaki sparingly appears on television anyway, so he could very be innocent, but considering that he didn't appear at the SmackDown taping, he obviously hasn't been cleared yet. Masters may have been left off the taping because they simply had nothing for him on this night and not because he was being taken off the road due to a suspension. Although, it appeared as though that a feud was starting up between Masters and Chuck Palumbo if the 8/31 SmackDown taping was any indication. During the 8/31 show, Palumbo took the Masterlock Challenge issued by Masters, but Masters attacked Palumbo before the challenge could happen. Palumbo managed to fight off Masters, and the two exchanged glares and words as the Masterpiece exited the arena. When they do this sort of angle, they usually follow it up with a match the next week. Palumbo took on Kenny Dykstra in a decisive squash match at tonight's SmackDown taping and there was no mention made of Masters at the very least. Masters' immediate future likely hinges on what happens to Randy Orton, who according to Sports Illustrated, bought numerous drugs over the Internet after February 2006 -- a violation of the WWE Wellness Policy. WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt noted on Friday night that only one of the eleven wrestlers suspended is a two-time WWE Wellness Policy offender. Out of the fourteen WWE wrestlers listed as being clients of Signature Pharmacy, only Orton and Masters have previous Wellness Policy violations under their belt. If Orton ends up being suspended, Masters is likely in the clear. However, if Orton isn't punished and remains on television for his upcoming PPV match with John Cena, it looks like Masters is the previous offender taking the fall again.
-- Two other SmackDown stars listed as being clients of Signature Pharmacy in Adam "Edge" Copeland and Gregory Helms are out indefinitely due to their respective injuries. Even though they won't be appearing on television anytime soon, by process of elimination, it should be known soon enough if these two did any wrong doing. If so, they will be docked 30 days worth of pay from their downside guarantee. In Copeland's case, it will likely be a hefty amount."
Yep, I know it's long but I figured somone would find it interesting...

So basically if you are a main eventer you can do anything you want.
I just read that a WWE performer gave his notice at the tapings. It probably stems from the fact that the disciplinary actions they are taking isn't the same all the way across the board.
I wouldn't be surprised if Booker quit.

You wanna know what's really skeptical about Orton being "let off". He had recieved the prescriptions until February 2007, which means he would've had to have confessed to it after that and served his "time" after that as well. Yet Orton has not served any time at all being a repeat offender and has not been suspended any time. He would've had to of been suspended 60 days for being a repeat offender, maybe less since he "confessed" yet he did not serve any time at all.
So either Keller is wrong again, or WWE are plain pricks in the way they treat people.

So either Keller is wrong again, or WWE are plain pricks in the way they treat people. I am a little skeptical of the SI dates. Someone on another board pointed this out- most of the stars listed have an end date of Feb 07, which is the date of the raid on the pharmacy records. It is probably just the way the investigators are saying nothing can be proven whether or not something was ordered after that date.

- Stephanie McMahon said 13 wrestlers have been suspended for buying drugs from online pharmacies and two others have been suspended for drug screening failures. WWE has only confirmed 11 suspensions publicly. This means that either Stephanie said the wrong number or four others have been suspended. That means a total of 15 wrestlers could be suspended, plus the firing of Mike Bucci.
- Stephanie also told the wrestlers that Vince McMahon was looking forward to the upcoming Congressional hearings on pro-wrestling, saying that he was thinking of wearing a clown wig and shoes to make a point about the entire process.
- Batista spoke up at the meeting, saying the reports that named him as a customer of Signature Pharmacy were false and that he has never received anything from online pharmacies. He asked Stephanie what he could do legally about that and she told him that he needs to discuss that with his personal attorneys. Batista was apparently very upset about his name being in the reports, standing by his statement that he has never purchased drugs from online pharmacies.
- At the end of the meeting, Triple H gave a speech to try and raise morale. He told the wrestlers that they may feel like they are in a horrible business right now, but to remember that they have the greatest job in the world and a job they have all dreamed of doing. He said he was proud to be a pro-wrestler and that it is important that all the boys stick together and work through this tough time for the pro-wrestling industry.
Details from the meeting that was held backstage at the Smackdown/ECW tapings

I think that some of these guys used steroids to get back from injuries. CM Punk probably won the belt because Nitro was going to be suspended. I hope they take this seriously. All these wrestlers that take this crap end up dying before they are 50. It's sad that they think they need to do this stuff. I'm surprised at some of these names, especially Chavo. You think he would have learned after Eddie died.

Konnan claimed in a recient interview (can't remember exactly where I read it) that Eddie had actually resumed popping pills and drinking in the months leading up to his death. That may be speculation on his part . . . I certainly hope it is, anyway. On a side note, about Orton being "let off" . . . . yeah, it would be majorly unfair if he were just as guilty as the others but was treated lightly. My thinking is that while he may be allowed to continue his feud with Cena, if he actually is one of the guys named, he probably won't be getting the title. Then again, WWE might coinside a real suspension of Orton with a storyline "suspension" layed on his character because of attacking Cena's Dad.

I read somewhere, and this is a fact for a fact.
WWE is gonna screen all future signees. So to make a long story short. If WWE has interest in you, and you fail their Wellness test, you won't get a contract.
