WWE has suspended Joe Anoa`i (Roman Reigns) for 30 days effective immediately for his first violation of the company’s talent wellness policy.

 

Reigns issued a statement on Twitter regarding his suspension:

:wacko: ...well, guess that explains why he lost the title at Money in the Bank.

Frankly, that's partly WWE's fault imo. Pushing him up everyone's ass to get him over, putting in everything, making him the biggest star in the company for however long they've been doing now. I'm pretty sure he felt he had to look good and be super ripped etc (if its steroids of course) to keep it going in the eyes of the company and maybe himself.

 

Then again, maybe he just did it all by his lonesome and he's been doing it for a while. Who knows in the end. Plus, it could be a narcotic knock on him. Lord knows wrestlers are always in so much pain.

Yeah, it's the same show. They were streaming it a few hours ago, and usually, YouTube streams get converted to videos after they finish, so I'm confused why they've hidden the stream.

what was Reigns actually popped for?  I can't seem to find out at the moment.

It's a mystery. The only mention I've seen is JR assuming he got caught out by a dietary supplement: http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/722817-jim-ross-talks-roman-reigns-suspension

Well, it’s embarrassing for the talent. I have no idea what substance that he, you wanna hope invariantly, was taking. There’s a lot of the wrestlers, men and women, that are really big into the supplements out of the health food stores, and if they’re not careful and they don’t really vet it and see what’s on those ingredients, they can be inadvertently taking something that’s against the wellness program. So I’m assuming that’s what he did.

Kind of like what happened to Sylvester Stallone a few years back?  Got caught with supplements in a different country there were illegal there, but legal here in the USA?

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
