Saw this on Fark.com. A poster there said the local news let it slip that the wrestler's first name is John, which points to Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli. ANT ni gniltserw saw eh draeh I tsal.

JTB is a TNA wrestler, he's Rellik. It doesn't say former WWE wrestler, it implies that it's a current one. And I don't know which WWE wrestler named John has ever resided in Georgia, although I'm too lazy to go and look up all the real names I don't know off the top of my head.

Well, yeah, I know what he's doing now. The backwards text at the end of my first post was an attempt to keep kayfabe alive, but I guess the cat's out of the bag now!
And yeah, the article implies that it's a current wrestler, but I suspect that's either because they didn't do any fact-checking or knew that "drugs" and "WWE" would get them more pageviews, or both. The former seems likely; they spelled WWE as "W.W.E.", which is gramatically functional but an improper use of the brand name, suggesting that they didn't put much effort into this story.
Besides, Ynnhoj was on the retsor in 4002, which is when the xob appears to morf eb, and eh is/was from Atnalta. Sure, it nrut dluoc out to be esle enoemos, but what ecnedive we have esiwrehto stseggus.
In closing, yvan et nioj.

Agreed with DXSSI in that there is as good a chance as any that the wrestler in question is a former WWE wrestler and not a current one. I seriously doubt the article writer went deep enough to find out where in the industry the wrestler was currently working.

What's up with the reverse text, DXSSI?

Turns out that it's Mike Knox.

Well I guess Stevie Richards doesn't have to worry about getting his ass kicked on Tuesday Nights anymore.

Well, now, that may not be true. That story says that there were four wrestlers living together in that house, and that the paperwork with Mike Knox's name on it was in a shoebox separate from the drugs. And apparently Knox has denied that the drugs are his, though he could be lying. I'm not saying it's not Knox, but it's not conclusive yet...
This story also further demonstrates the irresponsibility of the first article. The earlier one somehow forgot to mention that the daughter who found the stash is an adult, which changes the tone of the story considerably, even though it does little to lessen the gravity of the issue.
Oh, and the backwards text was just me poking fun at Rellik's gimmick.
