Randy Orton is the first WWE wrestler to fail a drug test under the WWE Talent Wellness Program's new guidelines - which recently went into effect. Despite his failure in a recent drug test, he will not be pulled off the road. He will continue to appear on both TV and PPV shows, but as a general rule, he is not supposed to appear on house shows for 30 days. Orton didn't appear at any house shows this weekend. For that matter, he hasn't appeared at a house show in about a month. Under the old guidelines, Orton would have been taken off the road for 30 days due to suspension. Also, he would have lost one month's worth of salary. Under the new guidelines, he will continue to work TV and PPV shows, but he will only have his road expenses covered and receive no bonuses for the shows. The only non-change in the new guidelines is that he will have his downside guarantee docked for 30 days. WWE recently changed their guidelines because they didn't want to have to interrupt storylines or change PPV matches if a wrestler was to fail a drug test. WWE officials weren't happy with how things went down for the Great American Bash PPV back in July, and with the results for drug tests for RAW talent just now coming in, they didn't want to risk messing up their plans for the Unforgiven PPV.
Finlay: 4 Mysterio: 0 Finlay went on quite a killing spree, didn't he? I really hope Mr. Kennedy doesn't go to RAW.
It's a sad state for the WWE when the most entertaining match on RAW is Trish Stratus vs Mickie James
I will voice my opinion I have been having, since now I am almost certain of it. I predict John Cena Will bring the WWE title to Smackdown, and thus, a draft shall begineth.
Whoa! what is this about? I thought Angle was taking time off. Was there something deeper to the release from the WWE?
WWE released him because he was going to die if he kept the pace he was going at, and he wasn't going to stop. TNA has a much lighter workload, so that's a positive.
Kurt asked for his WWE release, and then he sent out a letter to the fans stating how he neeeded to take time of to rest, be with his family and whatnot. And now he goes to TNA? Fucking sell-out to the fans, even if he is having a lighter work schedule.
They turned the world Heavyweight championship at no mercy into a Fatal Four Way match:up: http://www.wwe.com/shows/nomercy/maineventchange If Finlay wins, I will go insane with happiness. Of course, Batista would just win it back from Finlay. I don't watch RAW, but hasn't this Edge-Cena thing gone on too long?
And so this thread is brought back from the dead..... RIC FLAIR AND RODDY PIPER TAG TEAM CHAMPS, HELL YEAH:beer:
They're still doing that VKM thing? Ugh. Wow, ripping the two guys who made you two relevant. How interesting.
I really don't like wrestling at all, but I found this entertaining. Source: http://www.prowrestling.com/article/news/3036
