Latest Word On Randy Ortons Suspension.

By now you all know of Randy Ortons impending suspension is due to begin on April 12th. He will be on tonight's Smackdown!, and again next week, but rumor is he might be on one more additional week before he begins his 60 day suspension. The buzz going around the inside circles as to why he was suspended was for "unprofessional conduct", as announced by WWE. A lot of people are saying that he is being suspended because he might have failed the recent drug test WWE had done before a recent Raw taping, which IS NOT TRUE! That test was done as a baseline with no repercussions due any of the wrestlers, no matter how much drugs might have been in their system. I don't know if Randy tested positive or not, frankly I don't care, but if he did, that was not the reason. The word is his conduct, as of late, has been unprofessional. He wasn't happy not winning the World Title before Wrestlemania, it went to Angle instead, and he was further incensed that he didn't win it at Wrestlemania, and even got pinned in the three way between Angle, Mysterio and himself. So Randy has been a huge pain in the butt to the WWE front office, and this suspension is hoped to readjust his attitude.
