can you sort of give me an idea of what you mean by "regulate"? what is your plan of action? are you talking specifically testing for steroids....or the rec drugs, painkillers, amphetamines and god knows what else as well?

would you like to implement IOC style steroid testing in the WWE? any idea how expensive that is? would you like to be contributing to that cost?

and this is just drugs....theres a whole lifestyle associated with wrestling that goes beyond simply drug use....non stop traveling, little to no rest, intense physical demands....what is it that you want the government to do about this?

it sounds like you want another dog and pony congressional hearing a la baseball....which in the end will do jack shit for the industry and accomplish nothing besides waste time and money.


>edit: trying to argue this is an isolated incident and
>completely ignoring the trend of early deaths

nobody is ignoring the early deaths....but theres a difference between keeling over when youre 40 and brutally murdering your wife and son and then killing yourself. correct me if im wrong, but is this not the first time this has happened? if there is no other case of this, then there is no trend.

and you want to regulate bodybuilding too? LOL. what trend has been established within bodybuilding that any of us need to worry about? is ronnie coleman's drug habits keeping you up at night? if a small subculture of the country wants to be walking chemical experiments, then thats there problem. maybe the government should start to regulate acting cause lindsay lohan is clearly out of control. rock music too. those musicians sure do like drugs....

>and the
>likelihood that drugs contributed to benoit's mind state...

can we get a toxicology report first before we jump off the deep and act like we know what we're talking about?

and when you say "drugs", i dont know if this is an all encompassing term....if u mean steroids, then no, there is no "liklihood" that it caused him to murder his wife and soon. if he was tripping on acid for 3 days straight, that'd be a much better case....
