Bret Hart Comments On Roman Reigns Failing WWE’s Wellness Policy, If The Policy Is Legit.
News broke on Tuesday morning about Roman Reigns failing the WWE’ wellness policy. It is still unclear what he did in order to get himself suspended (and we likely will never find out). Bret Hart on a recent episode of Bret Hart Radio, spoke about the suspension to Roman Reigns and if he thinks the WWE’s wellness policy was legitimate.

Here were the highlights:
Bret comments on if he is surprised by Roman Reigns failing WWE’s wellness policy:
“I am surprised. I was kind of hoping he could somehow make a good run at being champion. I think in a lot of ways he never got the fair shake that he deserved. Failing the wellness policy could be a number of things. If it was for steroids or something like that… muscle enhancement, or whatever you want to call it. If it was that category or not. I don’t think he needed it, for one. It is what it is as a policy. I’m all behind the policy. There doesn’t need to be any of that in wrestling. I don’t know if there is a double standard where some guys are allowed to take certain things and some guys aren’t. There’s sort of a thin line between being found guilty and being found innocent. I have no idea” (Source: Bret Hart Radio, H/T WrestleZone).

On If WWE’s wellness policy is legitimate and how it has transformed over the years:
“As far as I know the drug policy in WWE is pretty legit. As far as I know, unless someone tells me otherwise, everybody is tested. You have to know you’re going to get tested so what are you ever going to get dirty for? It turns out you get tested and it’s steroids or let’s say it’s something as minuscule as having a toke on a joint at a birthday party. It could be something really small or insignificant. The fact that they sacked him over it is kind of a shock to me. The rules are what they are. In the 90s when I was champion and they started a very serious drug policy. Everybody had to comply. Including Lex Luger and the bodybuilders. They had to comply to it. It was the same thing. You just can’t take any chances. Where it is today and how intense it is. I know that drug test is pretty intense. They test you for everything from pills to… just about everything” (Source: Bret Hart Radio, H/T WrestleZone).

The one point where I need to correct Bret is I am almost certain that weed is only a fine for WWE stars and doesn’t cause suspension.
