In an article called "The Great Escape" the Baltimore Sun's Childs Walker looks at how WWE has survived and thrived in the wake of the Chris Benoit tragedy a year ago. The article discusses the tragedy, WWE's testing/drug policies, recent PPV/ratings success and Vince McMahon & WWE escaping Congressional hearings. The following comments are given in the article from former WWE great, Bruno Sammartino:

"Every time something terrible happens, you hear the claims that they're going to clean up," said the WWE's greatest early star, Bruno Sammartino. "But the fact is that after things quiet down and they maybe release a few nobodies to show they mean business, they go back to their old ways. In my opinion, I still see physiques that you just can't get by doing it the natural way."
