Ken Anderson, popularly known as Mr. Kennedy in the WWE, still continues to blog about his release in WWE due to his violation of the wellness policy.

He was best known in WWE for his skills on the microphone and he still does it, only this time in his blog entries. One of his entries was about a guide to nutritious eating. He preaches a diet consisting of hard-boiled eggs, beef jerky, water and “supplements”.

Most of the topic discussed in his blog has something to do with his departure in WWE and the referral to certain “supplements” was not an exception. This is in fact a reference to his defense regarding his suspension for violation of the policy. According to the grappler, he had his doctor to blame for giving him stuff he does not know.

Last week, his written entry was accompanied by a video, where he blamed himself for having been released from WWE. He cited his frequent controversial appearances in the media, where one time, he admitted taking steroids before joining WWE, but insisted that he stopped taking them afterwards.

Shortly after this appearance, he was suspended from WWE for a wellness policy violation.

From The Sun:

During the interview, he admitted he did steroids and freely opined that those who do so should not be punished, as they choose themselves to risk their health.

These controversial statements did not sit well with WWE management, who released Anderson from his contract on May 29, 2009.

According to Dave Meltzer, Batista’s recent tendon injury was related to steroids use. He said Batista’s case was a combination of age, physique and several muscle / tendon imbalances. The imbalance between muscle and tendon were linked to steroids use where muscles usually grow big in size that the tendon could not keep up with the increasing load.

Meltzer wrote that biceps tear commonly occurs in steroid-related injuries because the muscle is too small to be overloaded, which is what is commonly happening in weightlifters who train heavy.

People were skeptical about his look when he returned. He was just too big for his age, which is nearing 40s.

Two previous instances of tendon injury were reported in Irv Muchnick’s blog. The first was on March 1, 2003, where Batista had his triceps torn in a live match held in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Then a few weeks later, the tendon was torn again during a rehab. He encountered a freak accident while jogging with his wife. He had to take a rest until October of that year.

Muchnick is the author of the book Wrestling Babylon: Piledriving Tales of Drugs, Sex, Death, and Scandal. His blog about Batista was entitled Batista: Master of the Torn Triceps… And Bicep.

From E-Wrestling News:

Via e-mail, Muchnick asked Meltzer if he could make his comments regarding Batista a bit more clear because while his injury was announced as biceps, it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t actually his triceps. Meltzer, who rarely goes on record to outright accuse a wrestler of steroid use (unless there is concrete proof), said Batista’s latest injury was steroid related.

“Obviously, it was steroid related,” he wrote in his e-mail to Muchnick, “but in fairness, guys not on steroids also tear biceps and not triceps.” Muchnick further noted, “As soon as I can figure out what’s going on with this latest round of WWE drug PR, I’ll blog further about it.”

Total Non-stop Action Wrestling, the second largest wrestling promotion, behind WWE is noted not to have a wellness policy.

TNA must seriously consider establishing a wellness policy as media would normally turn to WWE every time a wrestler gets busted for steroids or drug use.

There are number of reasons why TNA should have a wellness policy. It includes getting the message across that steroids and other performance enhancing drugs are not tolerated in professional wrestling.

TNA gives the impression of offering an open door for anyone using steroids, PEDs and painkillers.

Ex-WWE wrestlers involved in steroids issue usually enter TNA after being released from WWE. This creates a very negative impression on TNA.

Having a wellness policy improves TNA’s credibility, as more viewers become attracted to the company. Many wrestlers also prefer to work in a company with a clean and honest reputation to avoid their reputation from being tarnished in return.

A wellness policy is also one means to control future “accidents” or deaths in the future. Several wrestlers have wasted their life over drugs, stars such as the late Andrew “Test” Martin or Curt “Mr. Perfect” Henning.

Finally, media would less likely criticize pro wrestling if wrestlers come out clean. Nobody wants pro wrestling destroyed just because of controversies such as wrestlers getting caught from using steroids.

From Bleacher report:

Even I have called TNA out on some of these issues but something that grinds my gears about TNA, and something that strangely no one has brought up, is that they have yet to establish a wellness policy.

As of right now, TNA has no wellness policy at all, not even one in basic form.

It has been confirmed that current WWE Intercontinental Champion, Rey Mysterio will be suspended for thirty days due to a violation of WWE’s Wellness Policy.

Details of the suspension such as the starting date and the specific violation were not known.

Speculations that Mysterio was suspended due to steroid use have been rapidly arising. He was previously caught with steroids a few years back. However, abuse of pain killers were not recorded previously.

It is possible that he would be forced to transfer his Intercontinental Champion title to Dolph Ziggler.

With this move, WWE proved to the public that they do not favor any of their players, even the current champ himself. People may think that Mysterio could just walk away with the Wellness Policy violation.

The champ would be back in time for the Survivor Series but will miss the Mysterio / Ziggler 3 at Breaking Point. WWE officials will have to postpone the fight because of the suspension.

Any abuse, may it be of steroid or painkiller is never a good thing, especially for athletes like Rey Mysterio. He does not even need to use steroids or any performance-enhancing drug given the fact that he already achieved the current WWE intercontinental title.

According to Bleacher Report:

It is 100 percent true that Rey Mysterio, the WWE’s current Intercontinental Champion is going to be suspended for 30 days for violating the WWE’s Wellness Policy.

In a much controversial statement, WWE wrestler John Cena said that Alex Rodriguez should be in jail because of his steroid usage. The daring star who is currently starring in the movie “12 Rounds,” commented that “Steroids are the personal choice of an athlete.” But it seems that Mr. Cena has forgotten about himself.

When asked from Alex Rodriguez about his reaction to Cena’s comment, he got defensive and said that he used it (steroids) because he felt he needed to. He further told that “If there was a set of legal stipulations set in place, he may never have even considered it.” Rodriguez also said that the government should take initiative and if you get caught using drugs then you should go to jail. A criminal record will not only hurt one’s endorsements and long-term contracts but also taint one’s reputation.

Alex Rodriguez’s confession of steroid use is showing negative imapcts on his popularity too. In a poll recently conducted by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, the star player has lost his top position as the most popular baseball player of New York Yankees. He came in a second position with 9%, down from the earlier 15% votes.

From NY Daily News:

John Cena thinks A-Rod should go to the slammer for using steroids.

“[Steroids] are the personal choice of an athlete,” says the WWE wrestler, currently starring in the film “12 Rounds.” “And [Rodriguez] got defensive, saying he used because he felt he needed to. If there was a set of [legal] stipulations set in place, he may never have even considered it.

“The government should take the initiative, and if you get caught using drugs, then you should go to jail. A criminal record will hurt your endorsements and long-term contracts.”

Come on now, Mr. Cena. Can’t we all just get along?

Contrary to previous reports that Vince McMahon did not encourage the use of steroids, it seems that the selection process for wrestlers in the World Wrestling Entertainment had everything to do with the use of the banned substances. Jim Cornette, veteran commentator, promoter and booker for wrestling, expressed his sentiments over the condition of what wrestling has become today.

He says that wrestlers are forced to get into drugs because their professional career relies heavily on their physical appearance – powerful built, extremely muscular and vicious. The only way to achieve this is if they inject anabolics.

From PWTorch:

Cornette views Andrew “Test” Martin as an example of a wrestler being re-hired because he has a certain look and not for any additional talent he could bring to the table. Cornette says Martin probably felt the need to look a certain way, which required use of steroids.

“As far as Test goes, it’s a tragedy that a guy is 33 years old and is gone because he got involved in professional wrestling,” Cornette said recently on the Who’s Slamming Who podcast. “In the old days, everybody was a cowboy and if they did drugs, they did it for recreation because they were making too much money. That’s almost easier to take, to me, than guys feeling like they have to do drugs to keep a job or they have to do drugs because their bodies are so broken down from the style that they get addicted to them.”

Cornette also gave an analyzed that because of the decrease in job opportunities for professional wrestlers and the pressure of giving the audience hardcore entertainment had them turning into drugs. As in the case of Martin who got fire and was re hired because he looked bigger and more muscular, that is after he used steroids. Vince McMahon has to accept the fact that wrestling is a dying business and careers in WWE are short lived especially for the newcomers.

It is amazing that the use of steroids can go undetected under people’s noses. What is more remarkable is that they have knowledge of what this substance can do and yet its use is still tolerated in sports. There is no point of singling out just one sport because almost every one of them had a history of steroid use. What makes it more crazy is that despite the obvious physical evidence – increase in weight and muscle mass in a short period of time, more goals, more homeruns, athletes becoming bigger, buffer and faster, not to mention the positive urine tests – big time athletes continue to deny it to the point of facing perjury raps. It is downright vulgar.

Not until a string of scandals, deaths, and perjury charges had awakened everybody’s awareness did the sports organizations do something about this problem.

From the Northern Star:

There is no better word to describe this string of drug-fueled deaths other than “ludicrous.” More and more big name athletes are admitting to at least having tried banned substances in not just wrestling but all sports, including baseball’s Alex Rodriguez, who said he was “stupid” and “naïve” to do so. But it’s overwhelmingly clear the message the “big four” sports leagues and WWE are sending to its performers: be “stupid” now, don’t be sorry later.

As it stands, the first violation of WWE’s wellness policy is punished by a 30-day suspension without pay. Major League Baseball imposes a slightly harsher punishment for a first offense: 50 games without pay. The NFL, NBA and NHL all adhere to similar programs, and all tend to let their players off the hook far too easily.

As the anti-doping agency continue to improve their programs in catching steroid users and dealers, the manufacturing of newer substances and methods to cheat on the detection tests have also increased. The government and sports organization officials should be more serious in imposing more stringent rules on substance use.

Autopsy results for Andrew “the Test” Martin’s death will be released two weeks from now and Vince McMahon receives advice on how to handle the possible media onslaught. Martin’s demise is the latest in the series of steroids-related deaths in the WWE. Wrestler Chris Benoit murdered his wife and son then he took his own life. Eddie Guerrero, died of a heart attack which was also attributed to his long term use of steroids. With Martin’s death happening at the height of steroid scandal in the world of professional sports, McMahon can only do so much to keep the media mayhem at bay which could probably be worse than what he had gone through with Benoit.

From The Associated Content:

Even before the autopsy results come back for Andrew “Test” Martin, Vince McMahon and the WWE should prepare for the worst. One suggestion of prep that I have is that they should prepare to point out that in Andrew “Test” Martin’s last stint in the WWE (2006-2007), he was suspended for a violation of the WWE’s Wellness Program. He tested positive for either steroids or pain killers in a random test and was disciplined. During the suspension, he was subsequently let go from the company. Martin later stated that he had asked for his release.

Vince McMahon and the WWE should also prepare to point out the fact that the number of Wellness Program violations have decreased in the last year in the main roster for the company. It should be pointed out that the main roster has finally gotten the clue that these violations are not tolerated. Most of the suspensions in the last year have been from development contract wrestlers, not the big names.

Vince McMahon and the WWE should also point out the current push in the company to gear their type of entertainment to a younger generation. The WWE and Vince McMahon should press the fact that there is no place for steroids, pain killers, or drugs in programming that is geared towards children. Gone are the days of the Vince McMahon suicide angle. They should point out that they are in the business of making heroes, not losers.

McMahon and WWE should start planning on some damage control especially since Martin’s death would definitely put them on the center ring. Media vs. McMahon and WWE. And this time the WWE can’t rely on their muscles to knockout the opponent. When it comes to the steroid issue, the media can be pretty vicious.

“The Test” Andrew Martin was found dead at his apartment in Tampa, Florida Friday night. The suspected cause of his death was steroid overdose. Reports said a neighbour had peeked in one of Martin’s windows and saw the former World Wrestling Entertainment champ motionless. A call was then placed on 911 and police immediately rushed to the scene.There were no indications of foulplay so drug overdose is the most likely cause, but this is yet to be confirmed as soon as autopsy reports are released.

He joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2007. He debuted in a tag team match with The Abyss and Sting against AJ Styles and Christian Cages. His last match before his death was against “Christian’s Coalition” where he, the Abyss and Sting defeated AJ, Christian, and Tomko.

From Wrestling Edge:

This would prove to be Martin’s one and only match in TNA as company officials decided against offering him a contract due to concerns over his physical size in light of the impending United States Congress investigation into the wrestling business following the Chris Benoit family tragedy. Additionally, his unimpressive wrestling debut, the feeling that he wouldn’t mesh well in the locker room, and an untimely post he wrote on his MySpace account defending the usage of steroids in professional wrestling, also factored into the company’s decision to not bring him back.

Regarding the MySpace post, Martin defended steroids by saying they’re mostly used for cosmetic reasons, and compared them to a facelift or botox. However, he said it’s wrong for athletes in other sports to use them because steroids give them a competitive edge.

Standing 6’6” tall, Martin became known as “The Test” because he always challenged his opponents to pass the test. He was also known as “The Punisher.” He was the latest among the string of wrestlers who died, the last was Chris Benoit. Andrew Martin died at the age of 33.
