Psych said it best but people he's not getting fired. It was a disciplinary suspension, some of you seriously need to read before you make a comment. He's on two strikes and is one strike feud from feuding with Hulk Hogan in TNA (cheap joke). This is awful news though and it really hurts Smackdown in terms of star power and house shows. Its time for guys like Sin Cara to really step up and be that huge star. Christian could get bigger storyline as well and get more spotlight.

Orton is seriously hurting himself though and its tough to have any sympathy for him. He's had two injuries in 2012 and now suspended. He's becoming highly unreliable and he's really falling off since his great run in 2009 and 2010. He was considered to headline more Manias coming up but that looks like that has completely ended. I think Sheamus might start getting more pull and power within company because what has he ever done wrong? He's clean and he works his ass off. Cena and Punk already established themselves ahead of Orton but now possibly Sheamus might. Orton is in trouble in terms of keeping himself in the ring and being that "franchise player" that the commentators have started to call him.

One last note I'm going to No Way Out live and it will be the worst PPV of the year hands down. Also they should hold off the Jericho Orton feud till Mania after all these incidents. I don't want them to rush a two week program and have a match at Summerslam. That would be really STOOPID STOOPID (I couldn't help it).

Soooooooooooooo.......................WWE under the microscope again?

Orton is no real loss, you can throw new people on Smackdown, building stars is easy, it's just maintaining them thats hard.

Pull the switch on Ziggler and put him in his spot for the length of his suspension, you could pull off decent shows and make a new maineventer while Orton is sitting at home kicking cats.

On one hand this is bad news on the other hand it might be good in the long run if it forces them to start pushing some guys and opens their eyes more that they have to consistently make an assertive effort to build stars since stuff like this can happen at anytime. So I'm kind of interested on how this will shake things up for WWE since Orton is one of their work horses.

This just proves that nobody is safe. Smart move by WWE, I really like Orton, but he can't get away with it, just wouldn't be fair.

I'm gonna be honest, even though they've suspended top stars like Orton & Rey to name just two, I still have doubts that they'd actually suspend Cena should he fail a test.

The suspended Angle and RVD when they had put big money into relaunching ECW and making them their two stars. They also fed Book to Trips before suspending and firing him after he threw a fit aout being suspended. Hell they pulled Jeff from MITB the week of Mania and Kennedy/Regal both from Raw during pushes and the major angles of their careers

I just think it is quite funny though that if you go down a list and say:

Cena, Batista, HHH, HBK, Taker, Kane, Show, Jericho, and Edge

You see the guys who have been the men of the company and without strikes because they either aren't on it, have the sense to get a legal prescription and keep it on file, or buy the good shit with their cash. If they smoke they also pay the damn fine for some real Cali weed over the synthetic bs

Rey and Orton got to wise the fuck up because there is no excuse for not having your shit on file to prevent your name being dragged through the mud or to not use the type of cash they make to buy the truly good and undetectable shit. Cheap dumbasses

But despite those suspensions they still had plenty of other talent floating around then whereas these days no matter how much they try and say otherwise, they still rely on Cena for literally everything.

They paint him as this whiter than white, holier than thou guy with everything they do by making him their face of literally everything like the Make A Wish Foundation and all this military stuff like we saw on RAW.

Obviously it's just my opinion and i'm not basing it off anything factual, more-so just a theory but like I mentioned I honestly believe they would go to any length possible to cover up a Cena failure because for the reasons mentioned above, it would reflect badly on both Cena and the company themselves.

I'm just saying ou can buy good shit that won't get you caught. Steroids and uppers/downers. My aunt is a pharmacist. OT isn't impossible to get a doc to get you the good shit especially when you are a millionaire like Rey and Randy

If Cena got suspended I honestly think he would go out there and own it in front of the cameras, apologize, and the fans woul say wow he's human and low him some more for overcoming his demons. Cena is just more likable than an Orton

Sounds about right, giving Cena special treatment and doing whatever they can to try and make the fans like him..

I love how every time someone gets suspended someone has got to say "Well they wouldn't bust Cena." No one stops to think that hey, maybe Cena just isn't a fucking idiot and doesn't do drugs. Cena haters are so much more annoying than Cena fans. Hell, Cena has made me a fan of him the last 3 years or so.

I mean they acknowledged Jeff's failures to get him more over, so I wouldn't see why they wouldn't with Cena

Yeah, good intentions I'm sure but Cena (or someone on his behalf) getting the priveledge to make an honest apology on screen would still imply special treatment, or at least a different case of damage control with Cena involved.

They let Hardy do it on SD. HHH even brought up the doctor during their feud who did the drug testing. It would be rare, but they probably don't trust a lot of guys to go out there and do that in front of a live audience because it is something that cab go really good or really bad with no middle ground thanks to the subject matter
