Officials from World Wrestling Entertainment met this week with New York prosecutors investigating illegal steroid sales.
The meeting Tuesday came a day after a former pro wrestler was found dead at his Florida home, but a WWE official said it had been scheduled well before the death.

Here is one letter received from KISSFOREVER89 since I posted the Batista article:
If Dave Batista is trying to say he's not on steroids, then Batman might as well go out and say he doesn't fight crime with a cape and cowl. I have friends that are personal trainers and physicians, and there is no way a body gets that way without some form of muscle enhancement substance.  
I'm tired of (some) wrestlers insulting our intelligence. The sad thing is, like JR always said, "they look good in an 8 x 10, but does that cut it in the ring?"
I always felt men like Batista and Scott Steiner were very hard to watch in a wrestling match.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the WWE doesn't hire Sid Vicious and Jerry Lynn, in the not to distant future.
Jerry Lynn was NOT released by TNA, he asked for his release.  Not being used on TV, does not pay the bills.  Bad move on part of TNA, IMO, Lynn is a very talented worker.
Oh wait, TNA is planning on hiring Brock Lesnar.  Bad move, IMO, not the greatest of workers.
I guess they will get some good matches out of Brock against Angle, with Angle carrying the match.
