WWE's wellness program


There's a report that Test was recently pulled from the house show schedule due to a violation in WWE's Wellness Program. WWE hasn't released any specifics on the violation, but I'm assuming it's for steroid abuse. Test has bulked up significantly since his return to WWE, so the news doesn't come as much of a surprise. It is a shame for Test though, he was getting a legitimate championshp push in ECW.

I don't get the Wellness Program. What's wrong with wrestlers using steroids? Sure, it may harm a wrestler's body, but that's the nature of professional wrestling. Professional wrestling takes a huge toll on the body. It seems like a double standard to be okay with wrestlers executing dangerous moves that often result in injuries, but it is not okay that a wrestler risks harm through drugs.

Test thought he needed to bulk up to appeal to the fans. Sabu thinks he needs to jump off the top ropes on to chairs, tables, and what not to appeal to fans. Why let Sabu risk his body and not Test? These are grown men, they should make their own decisions.

Now where's my injection?

Looks good so far.
Two things to fix:
a) I've had two of your three blogs pop up as "your class blog". You might want to cut out your other blogs to make things more clear.
b) It looks like you haven't reviewed any blogs yet. Post those soon.

This isn't a blog, but I thought it might be helpful, or just something you'd like.

Good Blog. My only suggestion would be to add a few more visual elements (show pictures of the colorful wrestlers!) Good job establishing a blog identity!
