For those who watched last night’s RAW and seen how UK wrestler William Regal (real name: Darren Matthews) lost a match against wrestler Mr. Kennedy, it was Mr. Kennedy vs. William Regal in a “career firing match” that Mr. McMahon forced them into, if the loser wins, you’re fired. William Regal lost the match and been fired from WWE storywise. Now that’s just a storyline.
The real reason behind this is that William Regal has been suspended from WWE for 60 days in “real life”. It was his 2nd time being caught with drugs, the WWE spokesperson Jennifer McIntosh, refuses to say what drugs they were. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were ‘roids or HGH.
Matthews (or Regal) faces a 30 day suspension without pay for a first violation, and a 60 day for second, if he gets caught again for a third time, he’s fired from the company for real. Performers are tested 4 times a year.
WWE made the wellness policy more strict ever since the Chris Benoit tragedy in 2007. It’s a good thing WWE is finally taking action on these wrestlers! We don’t want anymore wrestlers dying!

We will see a new RAW General Manager soon. I have a feeling it is going to be Stone Cold Steve Austin the new RAW GM, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it was.
I do prefer Eric Bischoff coming back more than Stone Cold though. I thought Bischoff made the best RAW GM out of them all.
Could Ric Flair come back as a RAW GM once again after retiring as a wrestler? Just a thought…
