Exactly, there's like at least 30 pounds difference between the two.
Anyway I'm just shaking my head at this whole wellness policy thing. Rey's clearly been juicing since he started with WWE and he's only getting busted now?
It's definitely his second strike since the Benoit Incident. Because he was freshly drafted to RAW and yet didn't make a single appearance for a long time as Kane was doing his mask gimmick. After 4 weeks of build up Kane revealed the mask to not be his, but of Rey Reys. Rey Mysterio returned shortly after that. So this IS his second strike. Then again, Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton won at least a half a dozen world titles between them after 1st and 2nd strikes *not sure if Orton has been suspended once or twice* so I guess this won't mean much to stall Mysterios push.
Hell, he'll probably return in 30 days and get a world title feud with CM Punk.

^I think the reasoning for him being out was because he was kidnapped. Either that or didn't he have some kind of injury? I was thinking his suspension was before that. You could be right though.
Orton I believe has 1 wellness suspension and one conduct suspension. Those don't add up as two though.

Thirty days isn't that much if you think about it, it's just one PPV and basically four episodes.

Technically just one. The other appearance was just his name being mentioned for taking prescription drugs in an issue of SI once.

but still, it's one month without pay I think, and you'd probably be in the doghouse for a while.
Mysterio is getting really annoying for me now. Every year since he got his big push, he's always been injured or had to miss time. I don't know why they can't push someone else to be their big Hispanic draw.

It's not. But with him being champ, it makes it look bad. Him and Ziggler had some decent to pretty good matches and more than likely Ziggler would have went over at Breaking Point. Mysterio dropping the title however he's going to just messes it all up.
There were also reports (whether true or not) that Rey was suppose to lose the title last ppv (not sure about the one before that during Mysterio/Ziggler I, but for sure Mysterio Ziggler II) that Ziggler was supose to win the title, but Rey said h didn't want to have a short title reign.
The older guys should also be setting an example to the younger one's as well with the drugs but that's not the case.
Why do pitchers in baseball use steroids? To recover faster between starts and to come back quicker from surgery. The toll a pitcher puts on his arm is pretty close to the toll a wrestler puts on his whole body. They both are out there on a nightly basis Constant use of steroids will cause damage to the body and cause injurires but to get you through a week, a shot of steroids will help.
He never said they prevented injuries but helped them recover from the effects.
The bottom line is they down play that aspect of steroid abuse because it doesn't seem as bad or makes good headlinges.

There is an article where numerous steroid users back up his stance.
It's just so WWE. It would be in their best interests to at least try and give their wellness policy a semblance of credibility but then you see guys like Mysterio and Batista juicing but they don't get caught.
On the other hand I believe that they only test for steroids and not things like HGH which would allow most of them to skirt the policy but I'm not 100% certain on that.
The conspiracy theory lover in me says that this is all a ruse. When they obviously take the title off him next week and send him out for thirty plus days. (Note that the suspension is for thirty days, he could be kept out longer to sell the injury or whatever.) It'll make for great TV and really help get, I assume, Dolph Ziggler even further over. Rey gets some time off and they get a great angle.
Rey gets suspended though because he drew the short straw this time around and was "suspended" to lend credence to their policy. [/Gribble]
It could have something to do with Rey wanting all these extra things when he signed his new contract. Taking time off when he wants (to an extent), wanting to have a long IC title reign, etc. This could be WWE's way of saying don't fuck with me.
I still say the Wellness policy is BS. I mean Eugene was brought back after having 3 strikes. What the hell is that? You can get 3 strikes, get fired and still come back.
