Washington Times on WWE Blame Game


A July 4th article in THe Washington Times by Tom Knott, takes yet another look at the whole WWE/Steroids/wrestler death stories. Knott however discusses more of the idea that people make their own choices, including the choice to join WWE, the choice to use steroids or other drugs, and the inconceivable choice to commit murder.

From washingtontimes.com:

"Let's be adults here. We all know the deal with professional wrestling. It is make-believe mayhem that demands its practitioners to look like puffed-up characters out of a cartoon strip.

If you elect to find employment in this culture — because of the money, babes and lifestyle — you know the pact you are making.

You know you will be sacrificing your body in exchange for a quality of life that otherwise would be beyond your grasp.

What you do with the opportunity is up to you. It is not up to McMahon.

One ex-wrestler became the governor of a state.

Another used his crossover appeal to become an ubiquitous entity on the airwaves."
