As reported earlier, Lance Cade was released again last week by World Wrestling Entertainment. He was re-hired this past October, but was conspicuously never used sans a one-off appearance in developmental.

The reason for his prolonged absence from both television as well as developmental was because he had asked to enter a rehabilitation facility after going through withdrawal symptoms from pain medication and couldn't sleep, which resulted in the former tag team champion being hooked on sleeping pills. He said in an interview last week with PWInsider.com that Umaga who was his friend had passed away and he didn't want something unfortunate to happen to himself as well due to his addiction to pills.

Cade completed twenty-eight days of rehab and three weeks before WrestleMania, talked to his mentor, Shawn Michaels. During the very same interview, he claimed HBK told him "he's done" and added that if WWE ever brings him back, he'll never be a top guy.

During the interview, Cade expressed his displeasure with being let by WWE as he couldn't understand why they would fire him for asking to go to rehab considering that everyone else is given an ultimatum to take up rehabilitation assistance or have their contract terminated. He felt he was doing the right thing by addressing the issue and asking to enter rehab, especially considering that his ongoing pill problems are as a result of something that occurred inside their ring. He then said he doesn't want to be part of a company that says they want to help wrestlers with their issues, but then turn their backs on them when they ask for help. He also feels it sends a bad message to the wrestlers in the locker room that if they get injured and take time off, they'll lose their spot. Or, if they have issues medication and ask for help, they'll be fired.

Additionally, Cade implied during the interview that there are top guys doing stuff much worse than he had done, saying WWE's drug testing policy "doesn't apply to everyone."

Cade was previously released from WWE on October 14, 2008. Jim Ross later stated on his official website that "he made a major league mistake while utilizing bad judgment" and that it was instrumental to his departure. J.R. also made reference to Cade having a seizure on a plane and needing emergency medical care.

Damn, its a shame when your own mentor tells you you're done.

I'm guessing WWE doesn't even want to take a chance on pushing someone that at one point had trouble with drug problems/addictions. Which makes sense, why push someone and build them up only for them to screw up and make WWE look bad.

Jeff Hardy anyone?

Batista, Cena anyone? I could sniff their urine and gain 12 pounds of lean muscle from all the Gonaditropin, Synthol, Dianabol, Test and the 500 other drugs they're currently cycling.

WWE's such a joke. Cade's pretty good and i'm glad he can to go to a real company.

WWE put the ECW & WWE belts on RVD. The man was in fucking High Times & had a pothead gimmick in ECW. That didn't stop Vince from putting those belts on him. Sure he dropped them a short time later after the bust, but Vince put the belt on a well known stoner. Same thing with Jeff Hardy, he was still pushed after his wellness violation years earlier.

Pretty sure at least Cena isn't doing drugs.

More like Triple H, anyone?

HHH especially when he first put on the muscle mass. He went from muscular but small Hunter Hearst Helmsley to a roided out monster Triple H in under a year. It doesn't happen that fast naturally. I think I heard Cena say he was lifting as a young teen, its very possible he has never taken a steroid if he has been doing it that long with an intention to be a wrestler.

Cena was stacked diesel years ago and all of a sudden it went away. Can you say enhancers?

Agreed. Cena's muscles look more natural, while Triple H looks like he has fucking balloons in his chest. Looks like Lashley does in a way, and Lashley is definitely on roids.

When did his physique majorly change?

I remember seeing that on his dvd. During his body building days, he looked disgusting.
