When did Batista start bodybuilding? It could give us a timeline for his eventual death (though everyone is different and Benoit proved that heavy use, even with HGH, doesn't always lead to organ enlargement). There are a ton of other shoes that can still drop, more than we'll ever think of. If Sylvan Grenier is no longer in a relationship with Pat Patterson, I could totally see him going to the press to fuck with WWE. WWE could have the chutzpah to fire Chris Nowinski tomorrow 30 seconds after putting out a press release that makes "steroids could not be a factor because the deaths were via asphyxiation" and "testosterone is not a steroid" look like nothing. A WWE office employee could be outed as having received steroids. Really, nothing would shock me at this point, even internal memos showing that management was aware that Benoit was abusing kittens.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with it, but taking fake credit to piss people off will be fun.

I tend to agree with the rest of what you're saying, but the belief right now is that Orton is the wrestler who came clean to management about using Signature and already served a "suspension" for it. Kennedy still being on TV next week is more questionable.

Maan I would so be into that. What else is there? I assume there must be tape dealers with BANG! stuff. I'm just about the only dude w/ BANG! tapes, I'd have to find them to convert to DVD. I know I have at least the iron man match w/ Windsor and a tag or two. I recall the tag exchanges w/ Brent Dail being his best stuff there. Nobody has a tape of his match w/ London, but there is a music video of it on one of my tapes. Other stuff... USWA '91: A squash w/ RVD commentary from the same comp set. A singles match with RVD that I know at least has clips on Jeff Osborne's Memphis '91 Yearbook tape. ECW '94-'95: vs Malenko in the NWA tourny (clipped on TV), vs Douglas (TV), vs Benoit (TV, I think), vs Snow (TV), vs Joe Malenko (disappearing trader Shaunas LeFrancois shot a handheld that I've never seen floating around, sadly) Other indies: Did TV for some group in Florida in '95 that also used Kanemoto and some FMW guys. I think Friedlander has the shows. Had a mat-based match w/ Sabu in Michigan in '94. Worked Chikara's TWGP in '06. Worked Brent Albright in the NWA tourny getting a DVD release. It was one of their last shows, I don't think it aired.

No, I don't have my WON yet, but the person who posted it doesn't make items up.

Cena specifically claims that he doesn't use "anabolics." Make of that what you'd like. Also, Steven Tyler doesn't have a mouth like a baboon.

Looking at Cena's mouth, I really hope he's using some sort of bodybuilding chemicals, otherwise that's quite fucked up.

From the 2nd WON of the week:

The Grappler, probably.

He's also a gigantic idiot for making his claims after it was widely known that Signature was busted.

Prescription loophole, so no.

Update! http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/2007/08/...ng_scandal.html Eddie "Umaga" Fatu

Good point...though that's starting to sound like a more effective and secretive way of doing things than doing it online. The thing is: - You're getting pharmaceutical grade this way. - You are getting steroids w/ a scrip for WWE. The question remains whether these scrips were deemed passing, hidden in lieu of getting more steroids from a more "legit" doctor whose prescriptions they showed to Dr. Black, or just got scrips for HGH, which wouldn't be detected in the testing but is on WWE's banned substance list.

Wouldn't most indy guys be more likely to be buying from a truck behind a gym?

Could be D-Lo Brown.

It pops the crowd because it works.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=2998062 ESPN adds Batista and Funaki. I suspect we'll get the timeline narrowed down soon by someone to help us figure out who was actually suspended.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/2007/08/...ng_scandal.html That's 11, who wasn't suspended? Mike Bucci since he's not talent anymore?

http://www.wrestlingobserver.com/wo/news/h...t.asp?aID=20574 http://corporate.wwe.com/ I'm sure names will start to leak soon.

Re: RF, I believe this was after Jericho went to the WWF/Wade started blatantly losing his mind. Also, I misremembered the whole story, posted by Kyle Wolf:

I think it was less that it was RF and more that it was a "wrestling" presence in his hometown.

It's on. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more_spo...r_steroids.html
