World Wrestling Entertainment held their first round of drug tests in conjunction with the WWE Wellness program yesterday in Memphis, TN prior to their WWE Supershow taping of Raw and Smackdown.

When talent arrived at the Supershow taping, they were instructed to fill out paperwork for Aegis Sciences Corporation. They were then instructed to take a cup that was set up on a table for the testing procedure.

Talent used a restroom set aside specifically for the urine tests. Testing personnel were present but wrestlers were allowed privacy while urinating. The urine samples were immediately labeled and bagged to go back to the testing facility in Nashville.

WWE Talent had no idea they would be taking the tests until they arrived at the taping, although logistically it made sense to conduct the initial tests last night since Aegis Sciences Corporation, who are heading the Wellness Program testing, are based in Tennessee.

It is believed the entire roster present at the tapings (all of the usual names with the exception of Goldust and Rob Conway were in attendance last night) were tested.

The results from last night's tests will be considered "baseline" levels with no action taken against those who test positive for illegal and prohibited substances. The baseline results will be compared later on against future test results to determine whether usage of banned substances are continuing or if levels within WWE performers are dropping.

WWE will not penalize anyone for what is already in their system as long as their future tests indicate that they are making strides towards getting off the substances. However, if future testing indicates continued use at the same level (or increased usage) without a legitimate medical reason, that talent will be subject to disciplinary action starting with a 30 day suspension without pay. Subsequent failures could lead to longer suspensions, referrals to rehabilitation, or outright termination from World Wrestling Entertainment.

I'm curious to see what happens if a big star *cough* HHH *cough* ends up testing positive repeatedly...

Mr. Kennedy

I hope this isn't like MLB where the first people caught are low level jobbers no one cares about, although I hope these tests will encourage everyone to get clean.

I would like to see them release the results of this baseline test, it'd be interesting to see who gets caught using steroids. Considering that WWE is interested in bringing back bigger wrestlers(like Test, Mordecai, Henry Godwinn) maybe they will actually enforce this.

Visit and shop for video games at my Amazon-based store, also get discounted HD DVDs while they last.

We'd never hear about it ;)

Necro

So I bet we wont hear who tests

Jackie Pies

I'm sure all the guys knew a drug test was coming up anyways.

John Cena looks smaller than before. I only caught the segment he was in last night, and you can tell he must have stopped juicing...

The Phantom

Same with Conway

Blitzkrieg

WC Hall Of Famer

This is so fucking retarded. Do you honestly believe that if someone like Cena tested positive we'd hear about it and something would happen to him?

Maybe he's stopped juicing but I doubt it's because he's worried about the tests.

There will definitely be some examples though. WWE will throw some guy like Tomko under the bus to "prove" their testing program is working and all the wrestlers are off the juice.

Guys, it says above that if someone tests positive the first time, it won't be made public, as they'll be given one chance to reduce their levels of 'roids in their system and re-test at a later date. If they fail the test again, then we should hear about it.
