JR comments on WWE's ban of somas

[dishdude714]

Jim Ross posted the following on JRsBarBQ.com in response to the news that WWE is banning somas:

"I think that it's a great idea. Too many wrestlers took/take Somas recreationally much like wrestlers used to smoke weed in the 70's. Prescription pill abuse is a huge enemy of all wrestlers who abuse them. Pain medicine, Somas, ambien, and xanax are an evil mixture especially when mixed with alcohol and taken in excess."

you can have somas and use them according to script . its when you you take a handful at a time it spikes the % of your blood count beyond dose levels.

I dont really follow wrestling anymore, but are you telling me they're just now starting to ban somas?

These are controlled substances and it's already illegal to possess them without a prescription. So it's like the WWE banning meth.. no ****, it's already banned.

Or the WWE is now saying you can't use or possess Soma, even with a prescription?

What i believe is going on here is, with all the recent deaths taken place, WWE needed to ban it, since a lot of wrestlers have been taking them and dying from them

My assumption is that Vince dosent trust he wrestlers to follow any kind of directions
