He did a few months back.

I was going on a hunch, seems like everyone in WWE violates this. They only use it as an "excuse" when they wanna fire someone.
Even though he hasn't been wrestling for a several months, Rey Mysterio got tested as part of the Talent Wellness Program and failed for the second time.
WWE announced that Mysterio - referred by his real name of Oscar Gutierrez - has been suspended for sixty days effective today for his second violation of the company's policy.
The former champion hasn't wrestled since late August of last year after undergoing knee surgery. While he had knee problems for a while, he re-injured it during a live event against Alberto Del Rio in July.
In September, Mysterio underwent a second knee surgery to reinforce his posterior cruciate ligament after the first surgery corrected his ACL and PCL, and also removed bone spurs.

Wild guess. Was he perhaps on painkillers?
As noted before, Rey Mysterio was suspended for 60 days last week for violating the WWE Wellness Policy for a second time. Rey reportedly failed the drug test back on February 13th but wasn't suspended until this month.
Rey reportedly tested positive for amphetamines.
Rey showed up to the RAW Supershow on February 13th in San Diego but before he could settled in and say hello to everyone, he was informed that he had to go right in for drug testing. A week later, Vince McMahon was upset with Rey but at the time, nobody knew why.
Rey couldn't believe that he tested positive for amphetamines and says he has been living his life clean. WWE officials asked Mysterio about which medications he was taking and he was upfront about everything. A few days ago, officials called him and asked when he would be ready to return. Rey informed WWE that he could come back in June but was then told that he would have to wait another month because he was being suspended for 60 days.
Rey believes he failed the test because of something he took that caused the positive for amphetamines. WWE obviously did not buy his story as they went public with the failure last week.
Rey was scheduled to go to Japan in a few weeks to do promotional work for WWE but has been replaced by Alberto Del Rio.

the impact wrestling cameramen are just so awesome. tonight's impact featured velvet sky vs brooke tessmacher and the whole match, the cameramen focused in on either ass or boobs. what a match! :D
Raw is going 3 hours every week starting July 23, which is the 1,000th episode.
:blush: I was one of those people who loved NITRO... :blush:
I was too. Suffered through all the bad years with them as well. I still think that the last Nitro was actually a really good show. But I don't think going to 3 hours was a wise move for them, in hindsight, and I don't think it's a good move for Raw.
I may have mentioned this to you before, but Bischoff's book is a really good read.
lol at daniel bryan being pissed that he lost.
anyone else think that eve is way hotter as a heel?
Eve? Heel? Hotter? That post is worthless without pics.
EDIT: Holy hell.

The book description sounds pretty good. I may have to pick it up. Here is a snapshot from chapters.ca
Eric Bischoff: Controversy Creates Cash
by Eric Bischoff, Jeremy Roberts
World Wrestling Ente | June 5, 2007 | Trade Paperback
Eric Bischoff has been called pro wrestling''s most hated man. Booed, reviled, and burned in effigy, he''s been struck by everything from beer bottles to fists. Though industry critics have scorned his spectacular rise and fall at World Championship Wrestling, Bischoff''s influence still resonates. For years, Bischoff kept quiet while industry "pundits" distorted the truth about the infamous Monday Night Wars, basing their accounts on rumors and innuendo. Finally, Bischoff tells what really happened.
Beginning with his days as a salesman for the American Wrestling Association, Bischoff exposes the industry''s inner workings, from the real numbers behind WCW''s red ink to the devastating impact of the corporate mergers. Among his revelations: How WCW became a national brand and revolutionized the industry. How Hulk Hogan, Jesse Ventura, and Steve Austin shaped WCW, and how corporate politics killed it. And how he found his inner heel and learned to love being the guy everyone loves to despise.
Reflecting on his childhood, his family, and the pressures of notoriety, Bischoff tells how he found contentment after being unceremoniously "sent home." Love him or hate him, readers will never look at pro wrestling the same way again after reading Eric Bischoff''s story in Controversy Creates Cash.
My favorite part of the book is that he gives a lot of advice/hints on how they created some of the bigger WCW storylines. There are a lot of aspects of that book that are applicable to industries that have nothing to do with wrestling ... basically, any industry involving creativity has some application of what he says in the book. And that was very, very cool to me.
Pretty predictable ending to the main event there.
whoa whoa whoa....hold the phone! laurinaitis re-hired big show on saturday? that would mean that big show, who would have been a member of the roster, interfered with the match on sunday, and should be fired again. :confused:
santino cracks me up. lol
Interesting.
Also Dean Ambrose is working dark matches now for Raw and Smackdown, should be on TV soon I hope.Quote:
- Alex Shelley, whose contract with TNA Wrestling is set to expire, is reportedly jumping ship to WWE. This is according to former WCW broadcaster Mark Madden. He wrote on Twitter:
"Good luck to Alex Shelley, WWE-bound. A real talent. Let's c if he's used rite. Shame 2c MCMGs break up. Best tag team in U.S."
read a rumor a couple of days ago that melina and john morrison might be tna bound.....
i hope its true....imagine the knockouts division then. :drool:
Actually, I read when Morrison left that he was quoted as saying he is loyal to the WWE and the door is open for him to return there when he wants, and rumors are that it may be soon.
WWE won't give Morrison a good push, he'd be champ in TNA.
Alex Shelley is the shit but WWE will fumble that one too prob.
My favorites to watch in the ring.
AJ Styles
Alex Shelley
Christopher Daniels
Morrison
Mini Goldberg
My favorite right now and has been for years now is Jericho. Punk and Daniel Bryan are also way up there. And once Dean Ambrose debuts....if Jericho leaves again, Dean will be my favorite. That dude is the real deal.

Lol he chokes on the pyros coming out.
On this day in history - Sunday May 23, 1999 - The crowd inside the Kemper Arena fell silent on what turned out to be the saddest day in professional wrestling as an unfortunate accident took the life of Owen Hart. Owen was set to face off against The Godfather (Charles Wright) in a match for the Intercontinental Championship. Owen was set to be lowered from the ceiling of The Kemper Arena into the ring in superhero-like fashion. However, something went terribly wrong and rather than being lowered, Owen 78 feet straight down hitting chest first onto the top rope about a foot from the nearest turnbuckle throwing him into the ring.
Viewers at home did not witness the fall as at the moment the accident occured a pre-recorded vignette was shown. EMT's worked on Owen while commentator Jim Ross repeatedly told viewers watching the pay per view that this was not an angle and was not part of any storyline but a very unfortunate accident. Owen was transported to Truman Medical Centre where several attempts were made to revive him until he died from his injuries. Some believe Owen died in the ring. The cause of death was later revealed to have been internal bleeding from blunt chest traum. Owen Hart was 34 years old. 13 years have passed since that fateful night. Owen Hart may be gone, but will most certainly not be forgotten. May you rest in peace.
