Booker T publicly addresses WWE departure

Send News and Event Results


The following comes from the official website of Booker and Sharmell Huffman.
WWW.BookerTOnline.com

We want to begin by thanking the many wonderful WWE fans that we have had the privilege of entertaining over the last eight years. Sharmell and I have enjoyed
the opportunity to put smiles on your faces night after night. We also want to thank everyone in the wrestling community for their support of our very
own P.W.A. (Pro Wrestling Alliance). The dream of bringing professional wrestling back to my home town of Houston, Texas is coming to fruition, and we
have you to thank for it.

I want to address something that has been on my mind for quite some time now in regards to my recent suspension from WWE. I want to state for the record
that I was not taking any illegal substance, or anything outside of my physician's care, and that the suspension was unwarranted. However, rather than
fight the suspension or publicly voice my discontent, I used this recent hiatus to rest, work with the P.W.A., and reflect on the direction of my career
as a professional wrestler. I also, for the record, have never at any time ordered anything from "Signature Pharmacy". This allegation is upsetting, and
the careless and slanderous reporting of this matter is currently being addressed by my legal counsel.

I would like to also address any possible rumors or misinformation regarding our release from WWE. I had been unhappy for quite some time with the direction
that the Company was going in. In fact, I asked for my release back in July for that very reason. However, after further contemplation, I decided to continue
on with WWE because of my passion for this industry and my desire to entertain the fans. Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that my unhappiness
with my work environment was beginning to take a great toll on other aspects of my life.

I knew that it was time to make some extremely tough decisions. Therefore, in the interest of my mental, physical, and spiritual well being, I along with
my wife, asked for our release from World Wrestling Entertainment for the second time within months. We were graciously granted our release and we have
since amicably parted ways.

While the business relationship between ourselves and the WWE has ended, we will continue to be i involved in Professional Wrestling. We hope that our loyal
fans will follow us as we make this transition.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, and we will see you soon!

Booker T. and Sharmell

King Booker, Queen Sharmell and Shawn Daivari.

It was long rumored that Booker and Sharmell were gone from the company.

No real surprise on Daivari either, they had nothing for him.

WWE Wrestlers are so screwed, and Ken Kennedy's nose is 6,000 miles long...

Sports Illustrated names names, drugs supplied and period supplied for several current and former WWE stars

The article lists the names of several current and former wrestlers under WWE contract and what they received and when. Note that all of the current WWE wrestlers received stuff while the “Wellness Policy” was in effect.

  1. Chavo Guerrero received somatropin, nandrolone and anastrozole from April 2005 through May 2006.

  2. Shane Helms received testosterone, genotropin and nandrolone from November 2003 through February 2007.

  3. Randy Orton received somatropin, nandrolone, stanozolol form September 2004 through February 2007.

  4. John Hennigan (Morrison) received somatropin, anastrozole, testosterone, stanozolol and chorionic gonadotropin from June 2006 through February 2007.

  5. Ken Anderson (Kennedy) received anastrozole, somatropin and testosterone from October 2006 through February 2007.

  6. Shoichi Funaki received somatropin in March 2006.

  7. Charlie Haas received anastrozole, somatropin, stanozolol, nandrolone and chorionic gonadotropin from August 2006 through January 2007.

  8. Edward Fatu (Umaga) received somatropin between July and December 2006.

  9. Darren Matthews (William Regal) received stanozolol, somatropin, genotropin and anastrozole between November 2004 and November 2006.

  10. Adam Copeland (Edge) received somatropin, genotropin, andstanozolol between September 2004 and February 2007.


Other Wrestlers named are…
  1. - Chris Benoit, received nandrolone and anastrozole in February 2006.

  2. Eddie Guerrero received nadrolone, testosterone and anastrozole two weeks before passing away in November of 2005.

  3. Brian Adams (Crush) received nandrolone, testosterone, and somatropin in December 2006. Adams had not worked for WWE in several years.

  4. Sylvain Grenier, who received somatropin, nandrolone, genotropin and stanozolol from February 2005 through July 2006.


This blows the credibility of the wellness policy all to hell as these are detectable substances and issued by an internet farmasy which is against the policy in the first place.

Plus, in the case of anastrozole, I really want to know what legitimate medical purpose the wrestlers who received it had for it? You can read about Anastrozole here and I welcome theories as to the legit medical purposes that could require such a thing.

Oh, and I retract my previous retraction. Ken Kennedy is a lier lier, pants on fire, fire…and he’s fucked…fucked!

If you need a refresher as to why, Kennedy did all these interviews and blog posts where he claimed the drug culture went out with the wellness policy, said things weren't as bad as in the old days, and that while he had used steroids, he stopped when the wellness policy was put in place.

You might say that 12 guys or whatever is a small part of the WWE roster. These are just the names released so far, and just from the one place...lord only knows what other wrestlers could've been getting and from where.

WWE can suspend these guys now but why wasn't this done sooner? why did this get as far as it did? The wellness policy is now completely in the toilet.

But hey, I'm not going to be all negative on WWE here, at least they have a wellness policy even if it failed big time. Having it is at least 3 steps ahead of TNA.

Thought I forgot about you Orlando boys didn't you?

You'll not enjoy your congressional time either.

Names linked to Signature Pharmacy starting to come out...

Send News


Earlier today we noted that WWE has suspended 10 wrestlers under its wellness policy for their connections to signature farmasy. Some of the names connected to Signature are starting to come out...
ESPN.com's story lists some, and
The New York Daily News lists more. We actually have more names than people suspended...thus far. and just because a name is listed doesn't mean they were one of the 10 suspended, WWE has not released that information at this time. It also doesn't mean that those 10 will be the extent of the suspensions when it is all said and done.


  1. Funaki
  2. Batista
  3. John Morrison
  4. Chris Masters
  5. Shane Helms
  6. Randy Orton
  7. Booker T
  8. Charlie Haas
  9. Edge
  10. Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci
  11. Santino
  12. Chavo Guerrero
  13. William Regal
  14. Ken Kennedy


Dave Meltzer notes that some of these perscriptions predate the wellness policy, which is why in fairness to Ken Kennedy, I have removed the text that initially appeared here.

Anyone that is suspended for crimes committed before the introduction of the Wellness policy would probably have a good grievence should they choose to pursue it but WWE is under a lot of pressure from the government (who probably knew these names already) and it would've looked bad had they not acted.

Meltzer seems to suggest even more names have yet to come out.
