Lance Storm is going to lose his poo poo when he hears about how that Overeem hearing went. Either that, or he is past the point of caring. For those who weren't following it, apparently it wrapped up with the officials basically offering Overeem a reduced punishment, one guy even suggesting that they only make him stay out 4 months. They also all talked about how they admire Overeem.

He thought they were going to let Overeem get a TRT exemption and fight JDS next month. In fact, they didn't. It's lovely that he's getting 3 months off his suspension, but in the end Lance was pretty loving wrong.

On a lighter note, I read the Overeem story on F4W and couldn't stop laughing when I read that his doctor's name is "Hector Molina": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioEgPlxjDok

Well, again, it's not so much fantasy booking as who we think are the most valuable properties in wrestling. I've heard only super positive things so far from people who listened to it. But fair enough!

as someone who listened to it, it was genuinely a lot of fun. Not fantasy booking so much as evaluating the current state of play of professional wrestling and seeing what could be built from it.

It's lovely that he's getting 3 months off his suspension, but in the end Lance was pretty loving wrong. Eh honestly he probably got a pretty fair punishment. He lost a massive heavyweight title fight pay day and in the end he can't fight for a year of the date of his failed test. Not only that, but there's always a shot Dana White just fires him.

Nason complaining that King Mo got a full year when he was honest (he made up a bullshit supplement excuse) but Overeem was a huge liar (also made up excuses) and got a slap on the wrist (9 months) is hilarious. He sounds just like the commission, one liar sounded more sincere to him, so how dare they be lenient on the guy that sounded sincere to them.

At the very least, Mo actually had the supplement and it contained the very thing he tested positive for, even if that almost certainly wasn't the reason for the failed test. Overeem went from TRT and dick pills to ultimately settling on a defense of an anti-inflammatory shot that 99% of the time has no testosterone in it. Not to mention dipping out on a previous drug test, getting away with that by agreeing to random testing, then literally running out of the building and fleeing in a car to avoid the random test that he was explicitly told he would have to take following the press conference minutes before it started. I'd say Mo, without question, deserved less of a suspension than Overeem.

Mo was actually in the cage and fought a dude while doped up. Overeem on the other hand due to it being out of competition did not, even if he had every intention of doing so. King Mo was just as bad as Overeem, you don't get points for your lie just because you stuck to one story.

Acting like Overeem didn't get off lighter because he's Overeem is naive as hell. They opened the hearing talking about how he literally fled the test as soon as the press conference was over and then openly gushed over how wonderful his explanation was at the end.
