from Jeffrey WCW4Life Owner: On WWE 24/7, there's that Legend segment where Jim Ross, Eric Bischoff, Mick Foley, and others discuss wrestling stuff. This week, it's the Monday Night Wars. Anyway, there's a spot where JR mentions "Other wrestling promotions" and he says that in order for those companies to be sucessful, the "Big guns" have to dress with the young guys.

This could be a shot at TNA considering a while back that the big guys [Jarrett, Nash, Angle, Cage, others] have their own dressing room.

Interview with Kennedy:

MR KENNEDY has hit back at the WWE's critics - insisting that, while there have been many drug problems in the wrestling business, the majority of today's stars are now clean.

In the lengthiest interview with any current WWE employee since grappler Chris Benoit murdered his wife and child, Ken admits that he, like Benoit, took steroids.

But he adds when the WWE introduced their Wellness Policy after the death of Eddie Guerrero in November 2005 it forced him to give them up.

He told us: "I don't take steroids, but I have taken steroids in the past.

"I never took a lot, but when I was working the independent scene I was trying everything I could.

"I never took massive amounts of steroids and do you know why I stopped taking them?

"Because of the Wellness Policy.

"Because I knew that having a job with the WWE was way more important than the 10 pounds of extra muscle that the steroids gave me."

In our world exclusive WrestleCast, below, Ken debates the issue with Radio 1's Manchester-born DJ Joel Ross and The Sun's wrestling correspondent, Londoner Simon 'LilsBoy' Rothstein.

He concedes that some changes need to be made to stop more wrestlers dying and insists the WWE are working on that right now.

However, Ken also slams the former superstars currently speaking out and insists that people are focussing too heavily on the "bad apples".

The former United States champion then discusses his personal memories of Benoit and the shock that his pal turned out to be a murderer.

thats 2 people this policy has helped. MR. KENNEDY AND MVP. imagine if kennedy was with another organization he might be still on roids. if MVP was with TNA he may not have been diagnosed with his heart problem.

I love Kennedy .... MRRR... KENNEDYYY. If he doesn't become Vince McMahon's son then that man has alot to come in the future he is attached to the Wrestling Buisness man! As for the shoot on TNA. I don't think that's really true JR might be talking about something else. I have heard about TNA shooting on WWE but WWE on TNA? Never!

Everyone must take some type of steroids, Lashley has and he hasn't owned up to it, Kennedy doesn't look like he has taken steroids.
