10 WWE Superstars Suspended/Speculation & Effects

I Really dont think that WWE really wanted to suspend any of these guys but i think US congress is really forcing them to. Possible reason why Batista is being droped out of the tiltle picture and maybe the real reason why orton lost and then beat up cena's dad. As for Kennedy they could drag out the whole bastard son angle out for a while and may even change the person since he hasnt been officially named yet. Regal can take a sabatoical in turn over duties fto the coach.
 
Anyone else find it odd that the story is now gone from WWE's website. I didn't search for it, but as of this morning all traces of the story have been removed from the homepage, AND interesting to note that the Orton story is still there. Orton not involved, suspensions on lesser guys. Thoughts?
 
nothing is going to happen....these suspension wont last long...i mean 1 month isnt dat long .....
as far as i know they'll nt create new storylines just to cover these suspensions up like dat guy got in a car crash etc etc....bcoz wwe had published these suspensions in their website too which means its prety officail now n they want ppl to know dat..
they put hardy in title picture...cm punk will b da champ...trips going after mcmhon...cena winning at unforgiven against snitski...etc...
n aftr a month all of em'l cme back...back frm where they left..
 
I can't help to see how some are nearly confirming Bobby Lashley is on steroids. He more has the "natural big guy" look IMO. There's some people that can easily step into a gym and bench 300 pounds that rarely or ever steps inside a gym nor do they eat the proper proteins or follow a proper diet. Of course, it's common sense that if you lift weights, your muscles will increase. It's not like Lashley looks like Dave Batista that looks like a "skinny guy" with gigantic muscles (if you get what I mean).

By the way, I found this on WrestleZone.com on some random past suspended WWE superstars

A list of known wrestlers that failed WWE drug testing and were suspended:

- Kurt Angle (for steroids, date on his prescription had expired)
- Matt Hardy
- Jeff Hardy
- Randy Orton
- Andrew "Test" Martin
- Chris Masters (for pain killers, not steroids)
- Joey Mercury (for pain killers)
- Rene Dupree
- Ryan Reeves
- Ryan O'Reilly
 
Someone made mention to how we're all fussing over what would happen to the wrestling industry & the t.v. show production & whatknot, instead of trying to save 10+ wrestlers lives. To that, this is what I have to say.

"I" didn't tell any of them to abuse their body for my benefit, outside of what physical damage they normally take. "I" never told any of them to inject juke into their system to give me a more "real" look of someone who should be wrestling. "I" can't control what they do or don't do, for their own benefit - especially money wise, because "I" don't control who gets complete pushes & who doesn't based on "look." (ala - McMahon only wanting to push bigger built guys, over the more althletic stars.)

So therefore, "I" as a wrestling fan never want to see ANY wrestler die, or hurt themselves for my benefit. (again, outside of the normal damage each knows they'd be taking, to perform for me) However, "I" as a wrestling fan also knows that this overall.. is going to hurt the production of the show, so therefore, "I" am not wanting to spend $40.00 per p.p.v. to watch a "Best of: The NEW E.C.W." because seriously, that roster has truly been the only one NOT effected.. except with the aforementioned loss.. of John Morrison.

And one final note.. when did Umaga become a part of this mix? He wasn't apart of the list I read, so did he get added recently? As in, since the last time I posted??
 
What do you think WWE will do after they lose 10 top wrestlers to suspention?

Well if they lose both kennedy and orton for however many days, expect to see mid carders get bumped up for now. Here's my predictions for matches IF these tumors are true.

WWE Championship - Cena vs Carlito
I just dont see them doing cena vs hhh yet...and i hope that snitsky doesnt get this spot

Intercontinental- Umaga vs Hardy
seems that they're goin this way anyways

Then Triple H gets shafted.
i only see two gyus that they could put against him right now if these suspensions take place. Snitsky or Benjamin. My vote goes to Shelton

its gonna be really interestin to see how all of this turns out
 
I'm not even going to pretend I know anything about steroids. Somatropin? I dont know what that is. I dont even care enough to Google it. So I'm not going to discuss that side of things. As a fan this just isn't a big deal to me. Some wrestlers have been suspended. So what? I couldn't care less. They have three rosters of wrestlers, and the product was pretty poor anyway. It wont stop me watching this weeks wrestling programs. This is just how I think there suspensions will afect the product. If at alll.

Batista: Well as far as I'm concerned he wont be missed. Maybe by young fans but thats it. He's been pushed as Smackdowns main eventer for the past few months and now it looks like Rey Mysterio is getting an oppertunity. A month or so away wont do any harm.

Chris Masters: Chuck Palumbo can go over Kenny Dykstra instead. Unless Kenny gets suspended. Then Palumbo can go over Funaki. Doh.

King Booker: Again it wont make a difference. HHH is back, and Raw is saved.

Santino Marella:
Who? Wasn't he IC champ?

Simon Dean: This wont affect the WWE on screen product at all.

Charlie Haas: I dont watch Heat. At all. Not since it was on Channel 4. And when he's on Raw he jobbs. So what does it matter?

Chavo Guerrero: His feud with Rey is over, and Hornswoggle is Cruiser champ. Will not be missed.

Edge: Injured. Suspension irrelevant.

Funak: He wont be able to job to anybody. Bummer for him. He loves it apparently.

Gregory Helms: Again, injured.

John Morrison: I suppose the last thing they want is for there current ECW champ to drop the title due to his drug use. Considering it was supposed to be Chris Benoits title. But then again Punk won a #1 contenders match. Have Morrison job on Tuesday. Simple. It's not like there's anyone for him to face other than The Boogeyman once his feud with Punk ends. And that feud can wait.

Mr. Kennedy: Kennedy might not be McMahons illegitimate son. And if he's supposed to be then they can pick somebody else. It's that easy. As for wrestling, well he's in Raw's IC league. Which is the only part of WWE which is stacked with potential challengers.

Randy Orton: Unforgiven is a 'B' show. Snitzky vs. Cena will be just fine. Do you know how much profit WWE made in there last quarter? I believe about 7.5 million. So they can afford to promote one duff PPV main event.

Umaga: Sure he's IC champ. But that title means nothing. Will anyone notice if he dissapears for a month? Probably. But will anybody notice that the IC title hasn't been defended? Doubtfull. And if Umaga's getting busted for steroids then what does that tell you? He's hurt and needs the time off anyway.

William Regal: Do GM's get holidays? Because that's all they need to say as a cover story. That's what The Coach is for.

None of the above suspensions are the slightest bit important. Sure there's some big names, but they still have there biggest names in Cena and HHH. Well until the next drug scandal.
 
Santino Marella: Who? Wasn't he IC champ?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that was that fan, who McMahon seen talent in. Hmm.. seems like I wanna say John Cena's bastard son... OH!! He was stalking Umaga in a weird, gay angle they were running.. that was it!! hahahaha
 
I think this the best thing WWE can do. Suspend everyone no matter how high or low they are. Favoritism sucks. I hope WWE really has the balls to suspend them all and take the backlash, it shows no one is invincible (no pun intended). For the people saying Cena and Lashley are juiced, keep in mind this is from ONE COMPANY, and this is their list of WWE wrestlers. I'm not saying they use steroids, nor am I denying teh fact that the had to have used it at some point in their lives, i'm just saying other companies can have other wrestlers they supplied to, but as far as I see it everyone is innocent til proven guilty.

Now a lot of people are saying Kennedy is screwed, lets take one thing in perpsective here: even if he is Vince's illegitimate son, this storyline is going to be long term, like at least ending in late october. So even if he is the son then it won't harm the storyline at all, since no knows the truth and it won't be revealed for a while who cares if he's suspended it's not going to end his push.
 
If these names are true, it really should be an interesting month of WWE wrestling, I am gonna say that they will combine the shows together for a month with Smackdown guys on Raw and visa versa, that would lead to some watchable television and would mean we wouldent saa Cody vs. Daivari as the 10:00 match.
 
to the guy bringing up the orton story on wwe.com saying that proves he isnt suspended, it is gone from the site. no mention of it at all on the main page. so to me, this kind of proves he is the 1/10 guys that is not a first time offense of the wellness policy.

and the article that listed the wrestlers who have failed drug tests, does anyone know when they failed them? because i think jeff hardy was before he was fired, but what about matt hardy? never heard about that one until know.
 
AS to the people who think the WWE needs to fire everybody first offense no questions asked why?. I mean even after baseball finally decided to test no one called for immediate bans for anyone. They said up 3 levels of punishment like the WWE that is sufficent. Besides it wont be much punishment as TNA will sign them in a spolit second and screw the consequences and either turn tehir company around or put the final bullet in their own brain.

Second why do you think there will be any punishment beyond the suspensions. It is not like this is any shock to the WWE. They have known about most of this for months supposedly and are only doing soemhting because of teh media attacks. Besides look at how much previosuly suspended wrestlers have been punished afterwards. Its not like Congresss actually watchs wrestling and is going to say Are you aware that just 2 months after being suspended a Mr Batista won your world title. The only ones who will be hurt other than in the pocket book are Masters (who they have nothing for anyway), Santino (ditto and did anyone notice that RAW this week the whole RON, Santino scenario conveniently dissapareaed), Chavo (Rey story over and was probaly out of WWE soon anyway), and probaly Funaki (great as comedy but when was the last time he even did anything on Smackdown last thing i rember was being laid out by Kahli in his FIRST time on Smackdown)
The rest will sit and then resume their storyliens most likely. Batista will continue his push (unless his book hurts him) Booker was going to be a jobber anyway, Morrison will stay at the top of ECW as they dont have anyone better, Kennedy is the only one Im not sure on as his postion is always fluctuating
 
Dude, i work out i dont need any steroids to look like cena looks now. cena is not on the roids now but he used to be on them when he was just a body builder, when he had that proto type gimmick, but now he looks clean.


EDIT: just look at cena's old pictures from back then and compare them to how cena looks now and then tell me if you think his still on the roids.

Did you see Cena's cover of FLEX magazine that came out sometime in the past year? Where he is actually pumped and trying to look his biggest? He looks just as big as any bodybuilder they ever cover. No one who is not on steroids has ever made the cover of FLEX and they never will it is a magazine about hardcore bodybuilding and is open and straight forward about it's steroid info. You do not look like John Cena and you never will even if you took a gram a day of gear for the rest of your life. I am also a bodybuilder and I have used steroids multiple times and would have to greatly increase the gear and my caloric intake to ever look anything like Cena for even one minute. Anyone who says that Cena is not on gear is absolutely misinformed on the subject!
 
The article originally featured as the main article, then secondary article under "THE LATEST" has now been removed from WWE.com

Possibly implying Orton is involved in the scandal.
 
To be honest, I'm not too surprised at the guys on the list if it is true. They all kinda seem like the guys that would do steroids. Especially Batista and Edge.
But if these guys are really gonna be suspended, they're gonna have to rely heavily on Rey Mysterio, Undertaker, Khali, HHH, Cena and Kane. Those are the only potential headliners left.
 
I think the bigger tale in regards to the website is how they handle the "Power 25". Those implicated who are in the current storylines would plummet down the rankings after not being on TV for four weeks or could possibly even be kicked out of the rankings all together.

In a much more fun way, we may now have one of the most unpredictable PPVs in quite some time. Assuming Umaga and Morrison either are stripped of their titles or drop them this week on TV, we can have some fun as to predict matches for Unforgiven. It can also begin to set up some returns. This is, of course, assuming the common names mentioned are indeed the ones suspended.

I would like to see the following:
Cena vs. Carlito for WWE Title - there is some build up and Carlito can win the #1 Contender spot via a battle royal

Rey vs. Khali for World Heavyweight Championship - I won't say anymore

Elijah Burke vs. CM Punk for ECW Title - Morrison forced to defend title this week, loses, and Burke declared #1 Contender

Matt Hardy vs. MVP for US Title - assuming MVP is good to go

Shelton Benjamin vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Snitsky for IC Title - Umaga drops title this week in 4-way match to one of these guys and the other two get another shot at the PPV

Candice vs. Beth Phoenix for Women's Title - obvious

Triple H vs. The McMahon Boys - Triple H can joke with Vince and Shane and force a Handicap match and drag out the feud. When Kennedy is set to return, he can side with Vince and Shane and say that it was a trick all-along and create a huge Kennedy-Triple H match for Survivor Series.

Texas Tornado Match for World Tag Team Titles - if done well, it could make us forget about those who are suspended

Mark Henry vs. Undertaker - it's coming
 
If this is true, then Raw will be even more based around Cena than it is now. Next weeks main event, Cena vs Val Venis.

Seriously, i agree with all of the comments wondering how Cena never gets busted, yet the smallest wrestlers do get caught. Even if Cena was caught, there would be a huge cover up!!!
 
One of the possible outcomes of this is as well as what has been mentioned already is that they may push the New Hart Foundation sooner than originally planned.
 
the suspensions could possibly mean they will have to rush up new talent for the time being but i dont see that happening because when the suspensions are over they are just gonna get sent back down because they will have to large of rosters. I could see if they would bring back Paul Burchill because he could make an impact because for his size he has exceptional talent. the suspensions also mean they are going to have to rush the Triple H Cena feud for Unforgiven.
I am just curious if they are going to have to vacate the ECW and the Intercontinental title. Vacating the belts could lead to something good like a four way match for the IC championship that consist of like Shelton Benjamin Jeff Hardy Carlito and maybe even add the Sandman.

I see the suspensions affecting the up and coming PPV because they are going to have to rush feuds and really wont have any clue of whats going on.If they have to rush feuds for example like A CM Punk Elijah Burke match for unforgiven. I still see the suspensions effecting the ratings because they have lost such star power. I also want to see what the WWE will say when they need to make an excuse on why or if they need to vacate two championship belts. One of the only good things i could see coming from this though is like what i said before and what most people said is that could lead to the likes of like Shelton Benjamin getting pushed harder than they normally do. But who knows hat the WWE will do. I just hope these suspension wont lead to the demise of this billion dollar company.
 
Every forum turns into a bash cena thread at some point. ALL of them. Do you have nothing better to do than bash the guy. He is NOT implicated in this investigation, therefore he is NOT involved in this discussion.

Now, as for the story. Interesting to note that this morning Orton's story and WWE's story on the suspended wrestlers have both been removed from the homepage. Apparently, they are trying to keep as much attention away from this as possible (unfortunately everyone interested already knows) and it appears now that Orton is 99% possibility of being involved, which i believe may or at least should be the last straw WWE takes from him, despite the fact that he is a talented main eventer.
 
For those of you that dont know. Smackdown and ecw tape tomorow and Raw tapes sunday. So you will all know what the ramafacations are sooner than you think.

But i do think it is strange that the HHH/Booker and Rey/Chavo was droped as well as neither title changing hands. I think the WWE should be comended on this if this is what happens then everyone bashing them.
 
It now looks like we will see regular action the nxt couple of weeks, it is looking like WWE will keep them on TV until they have a believable scenerio to drop them for 30 days: Also, it looks like guys like Morrison, Kennedy, and Batista will stay on TV but not get paid.
 
they are NOT staying on tv. did rvd stay on tv when he was suspended for pot? NO, he dropped the belt and was suspended 30 days which means, off tv, ppv, and house shows. they cant let some stay on tv, and not the rest. they would be hippocrits of the highest degree if they did that.
 
Yes but in this senario you have so many top guys it would be extremely hard to do. I'm not totally opposed to them staying on tv withouto pay. But i believe Morrison and UmaNga should drop the belts in the next few weeks. Guys like Orton and Batista who are involved in World Title feuds do not desereve to get the title now. Khali and Cena shoudl keep them titles.
