6 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Oct 20)
5. Triple H Is Apparently* Doing Quite WELL For Himself
*Allegedly. Allegedly.
Triple H’s nutritional expert Dave Palumbo heavily implied on Matt Riviera’s podcast this week that certain WWE talents don’t subscribe to WWE’s Wellness Policy because, as part-timers, they are not beholden to it. This was confirmed when Brock Lesnar was busted by the USADA, but not the Wellness Policy, in 2016 - despite his granite, supernatural physique not fluctuating since 2012. His contract also stipulates that he is not subject to it.
Said Palumbo:
“They’re allowed to take hormone replacement. They can go to an HRT place and get, ya know, testosterone replacement 100 mg a week, whatever they prescribe nowadays. They can get HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), HGH (Human Growth Hormone). HHH can’t take large doses, but I’m sure he would love to do it.”
Palumbo didn’t specify which supplements Trips takes, but in the next breath continued to talk about the aforementioned, apparently banned supplements when asked how Triple H “looks so good” at WrestleMania. WWE strenuously denied the allegations, and this is thorny, thorny ground, but if certain performers - i.e. those related to the McMahon family through blood or marriage - are allowed to blade on WWE TV and look suspiciously good on it, then it’s no wonder everybody is taking their ball and f*cking off.
We’re only quoting Palumbo here, it should be noted. We’ll cease and desist from adding our own take…
