    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.

    Yeah the validity of this is a joke.

    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.

    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    Rey was scheduled to go to Japan in a few weeks to do promotional work for WWE but has been replaced by Alberto Del Rio.

    Usually a lot of crotch shots too....the producer definitely should get a high five.

    And so it was, on July 23rd, that the end of Raw did begin. They did not learn the lessons of their contemporary, known as Nitro.

    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.

    Eve? Heel? Hotter? That post is worthless without pics.

    EDIT: Holy hell.


    EDIT 2: Can't believe I'm a few months older than her.

    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.
