More Information On The Wellness Bust

Here is an article that I got off eWrestlingNews.com. I'm sure this'll explain things better than I can.

- At this point, no names have been confirmed to be suspended by WWE.
Earlier today, WWE did confirm that 10 unnamed WWE superstars had been
suspended. Late this afternoon, The New York Daily News revealed several WWE
superstars' names that came up in the Albany, NY DA's investigation into
Signature Pharmacy. Here are the names that The NY Daily News revealed:

Randy Orton, Charles Haas, Adam "Edge" Copeland, Robert "Booker"
Huffman, Shane Helms, Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci, Anthony "Santino Marella"
Carelli, John "Morrison" Hennigan, Darren "William Regal" Matthews, Ken
"Kennedy" Anderson and Chavo Guerrero.

- Later this evening, ESPN named more superstars that were clients of
Signature Pharmacy. The names ESPN revealed are:

Shoichi Funaki, Dave "Batista" Bautista, Chris "Masters" Mordetsky in
addition to Edge, Morrison and Helms who were previously mentioned.

- Around 7PM this evening, The New York Daily News updated its article
adding Eddie "Umaga" Fatu to the list of clients for Signature Pharmacy. SI.com
also issued a detailed list of WWE superstars receiving shipments of drugs which
you can read here on the site.

- So far, the WWE is refusing to list of suspended names but they have
confirmed they issued the suspensions based on independent information received
by the Albany DA. WWE is the first organization to reprimand its employees in
the Signature Pharmacy scandal. Investigators say they expect numerous stars
from Major League Baseball and The NFL to emerge soon as well.

It's obvious that this has rocked WWE to the core at a very bad time
for the company as they prepare for the Congressional hearings. We will keep you
up to date on any breaking information as soon as it becomes available.


I'll keep you updated too.
