As of now the suspensions of the 10 wrestlers will be treated carefully. Stars that are involved in major angles will be given a few weeks to be written out of the storylines, drop their belts and so on. Wrestlers who aren't currently doing much will probably just be taken off with no warning similar to Jeff Hardy a few weeks ago.

There is the possibility that top talent like John Morrison may continue as normal but will not be paid. This has happened in the past.

We'll keep you posted

Thoughts.......

Weird.
Its a tough pot though...In some ways your glad because you dont want any big storylines dropped or anything,and you dont want the product to suffer.But you also dont want people getting special treatment...Im torn on this one,but its not up to me so whatever....

How is John Morrison top talent, He has to drop Belt now. Good that storylines will continue hopefully if Orton and Kennedy are involved they just dont get paid and carry on as normal

So Umaga will drop the title and Morrison will keep the belt, but lose the six pack and not be paid? Man, Morrison's Mojo ain't risin' no more!

and this is WWE's answer? theyre getting fucked up by all the news about the steroids shit, and they're answer to this new problem is not to:
a. Suspend them from TV/House Shows for 30 days w/o pay w/o warning
b. Fire
c. Suspend from TV/House shows w/o warning

No, they decide to "maybe keep them on the shows w/o pay". God damn. They dont need to be paid. They can last 30 days without getting paid. All thats going through their mind at that is "OH no. Now i cant get that new corvette with the spinners".

WWE needs to suspends those 10 men. Doesn't matter if they're main eventers or w/e. Give them one televised show for the champs to lose their titles, then 30 days. w/o pay. Thats the way WWE needs to go, if they want to get out of trouble. Keeping them on the shows isnt going to do shit.

Keeping them on tv when there in major storylines seem fine to me since the last prescriptions are dated back months and they dont seem to be on them now. But they should dock the pay and take away titles for set time to punish them for taking whilst wellness policy was in place

i agree for the dropping of the title belts like they did with RVD.pay suspension will not affect the big stars unless they live above their means.

Well, I think we should not worry about what the storylines involved are as no one knows for sure any of the names. They could just be a bunch of low card guys, and all the names mentioned could have valid scripts. I mean the media likes to blow shit out of proportion before they know everything. And the WWE is following suit giving the media what they want by telling them they are handing out suspension notices. I just am waiting until we find out exactly who it is...

Drugs have no place in the World, let alone WWE. Each and every guy who has been found to have taken drugs and/or failed a drugs test, should be stripped of their titles and suspended for 'X' amount of days. However, this contradicts their previous policy of dealing with certain guys who have been caught, as they have been allowed to remain on TV without day.

I think it will go down like this:

- Morrisson drops his title to Punk at Unforgiven
- Umaga drops his title to Jeff Hardy (ironic)
- Kennedy will cotinue his angle with Vince, resulting in him being named Vince's bastard son. He will just be fined
- Orton? This one is tricky. He has a history for drug abuse, but is the top heel on raw and in a feud for the WWE Title, so he may continue his push, but not win the title
- Chavo will be quietly taken off TV

As for the others ... who cares? They are either injured or released.

Everyone should be suspended the same amount of time, even the title holders. It would look worse for them to give special treatment to a certain person just because they hold a belt. On the other hand, I'm not sure if its worth breaking storylines over it so I'm not sure. Either way, this is a confusing mess right now, and yet another shot in the arm to WWE.

I believe that the ME's will work w/o pay. It makes sense. They ain't gonna do several injuriy storylines now are they?

They'll be revealed on Nov 1 anyways :D

Well if WWE suddenly take the belts off certain stars and drop certain storylines or end any pushes suddenly, then it will be obvious who the guys involved in this 'scandal' are anyway. So the November 1st revelation will just confirm things, not really 'reveal' anything.

Incorrect.

All further violations will be revealed after Nov 1.

On topic however, I'm pretty pleased the WWE is handling it this way. Congress has no business sticking teir nose into this matter. Its not the WWE's fault, but yet they are being blamed as if it is.

This seems to me to be Vince flipping congress off in a manner of speaking and I am all for it.

I mean, what has it got to do with anyone else outside WWE, the wrestling business even! If wrestlers want to take steriods then let them. The Wellness Plan is there, they break it then they pay. They know what happened to Eddie and Benoit so what's the media problem? It's just the media blowing this shit up.
