WWE stars who fail drug tests are willing to give up more money, more fame, more security, more merchandise sales, and a better future to work for TNA. Why would that be? TNA's signing of Booker T is yet another sign of the safe haven that the company continues to be for WWE wrestlers that refuse to comply with WWE's Wellness Policy.

Jeff Hardy, Brian Armstrong, Andrew Martin, and now Booker Huffman are cases in point of wrestlers who sought out the safe haven of TNA after failing a drug test. TNA claimed they were going to get serious about cleaning up their company once congress announced that they would be investigating pro wrestling. A few months later and not only does that not appear to be the case, but their world champion and company face was arrested on a DUI, found with pills in his mouth according to police reports, and yet continues to main-event shows like nothing happened. A few weeks later just fresh off a 60-day suspension from the WWE, the company signs Booker T.

-- On the heels of the recently strengthened WWE Wellness Policy -- which is supposed to close some of the loopholes -- there is a huge fear among some of the wrestlers about getting fired due to it because there isn't a viable "WCW-like" promotion out there. TNA isn't perceived to be on the same level as WCW because there's a lot less money and exposure. While TNA has a rep for hiring talent fired for drug issues in WWE, at this point, they're not going to take a fired WWE wrestler who lost his job over a drug test failure unless he is a top level star or friends with the right people in TNA -- and that's a pretty small list.

Stay clean, don't get fired.



Amazing, no?

You know that would require TALENT in the writing staff of either/or both companies.


Silly Garrard.
