I just saw that post about Cena saying the Wellness Policy wasn't needed since they're entertainers and not pro athletes. I can see a bit of what he's talking about but I disagree with it 100%. I won't make any insinuations here about the effectiveness but I thought the policy was to help prevent things like another Eddie Guerrerro dying due to abuse and even Benoit was linked to drugs, alongside other things but that's not the point.
There are a lot of guys who were clearly on stuff that was harmful to them. I'm not a big sports fan but MLB and the NFL would have probably gotten a lot less flack than they did if they admitted there was a problem and did something about it. At least WWE had the gall to do so and try to keep their guys OK. I'm actually a bit worried for some guys in TNA, one specifically even though he's my favorite, because I don't believe they test as regularly or little to nothing's done about it.
So do you guys think the Wellness Policy is necessary or just a reactionary measure, or something else?
