I'm not a bad guy...I'm not a good guy....I'm a SUSPENDED guy!

Even one of wrestling's most beloved smaller guys of all time is susceptible to falling off track from time to time. On August 2, 2009, Rey was suspended for 30 days as a result of his first violation of the WWE Talent Wellness Program. Rey alleges that he was prescribed the painkillers which ultimately caused him to fail the test. But, he was unable to find the proof of prescription in time to prevent the suspension.
Nearly three years to the day, Mysterio failed the random drug screen yet again, resulting in a 60-day suspension for his second offense.

About the author
J. Carpenter
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
