Final Update on Umagas Release

Three blogs for one man. First there was no reason for Umagas release, then one site reported a reason, and now here is another report:

WWE ANNOUNCES UMAGA RELEASE WAS DUE TO WELLNESS POLICY VIOLATION AND REFUSAL TO GO TO REHAB
by Mike Johnson @ 9:06 AM on 6/11/2009

World Wrestling Entertainment posted the following on their website:
As reported on WWE.com on Monday, June 8, 2009, WWE Superstar Umaga (Edward Fatu) has been released from his World Wrestling Entertainment contract.

However, consistent with the practice of announcing wellness policy violations, it should be noted that Umaga's termination was due to his second violation of the WWE Wellness Program and his subsequent refusal to attend a rehabilitation facility.

So, Umaga obviously has a problem with drugs if he refuses rehab. You don't refuse rehab unless you have a problem but won't admit to it or don't want to get it fixed. The guy should have taken the rehab, cleaned himself up. I don't see the WWE wanting to bring the guy back unless he cleans up. It is a shame, but I blame Umaga 100% here. So, case closed.
