Actualy if batista, kennedy, orton got fired for steroids then yes tna would go after them right away. . Give me a break, Wake up man, the wwe is sending a message. There gone and they might end up on tna
Batista, orton, kennedy are gone. Never will be back ever.

Paul London being suspended for breaking an in ring policy has nothing to do with the wellness policy. They do fire wrestlers who have violated the wellness policy on the 3rd offense, however, the company policy in the past has been to not release the names of wrestlers that were suspended/fired for this reason. It should be interesting to see how lifting this policy of not revealing names (which is set to happen Nov. 1st) will effect wrestlers popularity with the fans.
As far as TNA snatching up any released wrestlers, keep in mind, Congress is also looking at TNA’s process regarding drug abuse. Since TNA does not currently really have one, you can bet they are scrambling to cover their, eh, assets and are working to put one in place. It would be smart on their part to wait a while before signing anyone released for this reason.

they only list 6 names but confirm 10 suspensions

Sports Illustrated, who helped police with original bust, list the 10 as Mr Kennedy, Chavo Guerrero, Gregory Helms, Randy Orton, John Morrison, Shoichi Funaki, Charlie Haas, Umaga, William Regal and Edge.
These stars all received drugs from Signature Pharmacy ordered on the Internet after the WWE brought in their Wellness Policy in February 2006, which constitutes an automatic failure.
Batista, King Booker, Santino Marella and Chris Masters have also been named by the US press as using the company. Their orders were probably placed before February 2006 though, so they will not be suspended.
Simon Dean and Sylvan Grenier, both recently let go, were also said to be clients.
