WELLNESS POLICY? WHAT WELLNESS POLICY?
I am a supporter of steroids. No kidding. Legalize ’em, regulate ’em, tax ’em, administer them under a doctor’s care.
I know one athlete who has been using steroids for years, paying his doctor to monitor his situation. Sure, that’s illegal, but this athlete has had few of the negative issues associated with steroids and all the positive gains. When his levels are bad, he cycles off. What if it was that way for everyone? Steroids are progress.
That said, does anybody believe WWE’s “wellness policy” has served as anything besides a way to weed out performers they want to fire anyway?
Look at the headliners – NO ONE is built that way naturally. Lift weights 24/7, eat nothing but chicken breasts, drink gallons of water, take legal supplements – you still need to stick a needle in your ass to look the way most WWE headliners do. Add in the draconian work schedule, and it absolutely can’t be done naturally.
I’m not outraged. I want wrestlers to be larger than life. But let’s not be fooled by WWE’s “priorities.”
Good thing for WWE that the government isn’t as gung-ho about “saving”/ruining wrestling as it is baseball. Mark my words, names like Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez will someday carry government-mandated asterisks in baseball’s record book.
