Yesterday, the only wrestling show in town, the WWE, suspended 10 as yet unnamed wrestlers for testing positive for steroids. (See this AP story.) Wow! I guess the only surprise here is that it was only 10 wrestlers. Had one of their own not just murdered his wife and child, the surprise would have been that they suspended anybody at all.
I've been watching wrestling off and on for over 20 years. (My wife is glad it's more off than on now.) As I've gotten older the wrestlers have gotten bigger and more physically defineed. I watched a relatively skinny little wrestler by the name of Hunter Hearst Helmsley, go from thin with a big nose, to being humungous, and dare I say, "buff". Is it any wonder that these guys are mad all of the time?
I want to know when they are going to suspend Vince McMahon? He's pretty cut- and he spends all of his time around wrestlers who are getting busted for steroids, and he uses the same doctors that have plead guilty to charges of supplying the steroids. As my mama always said, "If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck..." Okay, so maybe my mom never said that - I might be confusing her with Groucho Marx, but you get my point.
