sek69 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I've heard rumblings that going on hiatus, like what Benoit and Angle are doing, is WWE's way of dealing with top name guys who maybe didn't get straight A's on the drug test. Angle in particular has said many times he's on scores of painkillers just to function. Odds are one had to have shown up on a test somewhere.

Resident Evil Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I've heard rumblings that going on hiatus, like what Benoit and Angle are doing, is WWE's way of dealing with top name guys who maybe didn't get straight A's on the drug test. Angle in particular has said many times he's on scores of painkillers just to function. Odds are one had to have shown up on a test somewhere. Perhaps but there are reasons cited for both of them. Angle is having personal issues, poor health problems and may be disheartened with his ECW role. He was reportably like a zombie off by himelf in the ECW locker room. There's a newstidit about this somewhere. Maybe someone can post it. Woman went through a neck operation and can't do anything. Benoit is also banged up and may not be happy with certain going ons in the WWE. Does anyone know when Benoit's coming back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I would say you're probably right, sek, but who knows for sure. I will say I expect Batista to be gone not long after he comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjh Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Angle is having personal issuesWhich has often been used as a euphemism in wrestling for substance abuse problems. He was reportably like a zombie off by himelf in the ECW locker room. And what makes you like a zombie? Being doped up on a cocktail of drugs in order to be able to wrestle full time when your body's so broken down that you should be retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Evil Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 From PWI Insider Come to your own conclusions. Unless Angle is working everyone in the back than there is something else wrong besides the ordinary. Kurt Angle will be taking time off very soon. As of late, Kurt Angle has been walking around like "the walking dead". People say that he's hurting all over all the time, but being injured isn't what he's taking time off for, and instead it's because of some sort of personal issue. -Kurt Angle stayed totally to himself at the last ECW show Tuesday night and hasn't been sociable at all with anyone in ECW. He also showed up very late for the ECW show at the ECW Arena. They speculate that Kurt Angle is now looking at everything like this just isn't worth his time anymore (being in ECW that is).

Guest Cam Chaos Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Chris Masters is also off the road for "personl problems" that haven't been released so it probably is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjh Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Come to your own conclusions. Unless Angle is working everyone in the back than there is something else wrong besides the ordinary.Drug problems do tend to cause problems in peoples private lives as well. I can't see his wife being happy seeing her husband look like a drug addled zombie or the walking dead, as he continues to jeopardize his future health for his wrestling career, so it wouldn't surprise me if he's going through another rough patch in his marriage.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was practically "confirmed" that Masters failed the drug test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bravesfan Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Alvarez confirmed it after Meltzer wrote that newspiece in a not-so-vague manner. The second round of drug testing was done on Sunday, according to Alvarez. Results and reprimandment wouldn't be done for a few weeks or so.
