McMahon, WWE deserve some applause

It’s time to give Vince McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment some credit for the company’s most recent moves in the continuing morass of events springing from the June deaths of Chris Benoit and family...for all the scorn he has received — much of which he has earned — Vince McMahon is not the devil and any steps toward handling the drug and health issues in his company, while overdue, deserve measured applause.

Those who initially ascribed “roid rage” to the killings were obviously wrong all along, but this finding was the final nail in that argument’s coffin, even though steroids and growth hormone increase levels of aggression could very well have been a factor in the killings.

Let’s hope that neither McMahon, any other wrestling promoter nor the fans use this finding to discard the dangers that combining performance enhancers and narcotics to the profession, particularly just as WWE is making baby steps toward fixing a problem that, unchecked, could spell the industry’s doom...More?
