Dot Net Exclusive: At least two former WWE wrestlers have been contacted by Congress
Feb 27, 2008 - 12:14 PM


Members of congress reached out to at least two former WWE wrestlers shortly after they were released by the company. Bobby Lashley and Chris Masters have told friends they were contacted and asked about the WWE drug testing policy. In Masters’ case, the word going around is that he was asked whether it’s true that his physical appearance was mocked on WWE television after he returned from a suspension. The question was asked regarding an on-air segment with Triple H, who mocked Masters for losing a significant amount of weight (i.e. muscle mass) in a short period of time.

Powell’s POV: The jokes about Masters’ physique were not limited to on-camera segments. Backstage observers say Hunter mercilessly mocked Masters’ shrinking physique and referred to him as the “incredible shrinking man." Obviously, Hunter’s status as Vince McMahon’s son-in-law makes this a bigger issue. The on-camera incident was shocking at the time and could come back to haunt WWE.
