== Steroids? ==
There was a lot of speculation that Masters was taking steroids since his debut. I wonder if there is any definite proof either way on that one. I cannot judge simply by looking at him, but his veins and muscles do look a little pronounced, much like the Ultimate Warrior's back in the 80s. Maybe someone has a link or something that says exactly what drug he tested positive for, if anything is known.--[[User:Screwball23|<span style="color:#0000EE;">S</span><span style="color:#3232CD;">c</span><span style="color:#4169E1;">r</span><span style="color:#1C86EE;">e</span><span style="color:#00B2EE;">w</span><span style="color:#FF0000;">b</span><span style="color:#FF6600;">a</span><span style="color:#FFFF00;">ll</span><span style="color:#008000;">2</span><span style="color:#9400D3;">3</span>]] [[User talk:Screwball23|<sup>talk</sup>]] 12:53, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
This has to be the most naive comment I've seen for a while. You really cannot work out if he was/is on roids?!!!

It's doubtful that it'll ever be revealed exactly which type of drug he was said to have used. There'll be rumors saying it was this or that. We know how these things usually go. All I've heard is that he was suspended for using some type of muscle enhancing drugs rumored to be anabolic steroids. This may be a rumor but according to wrestlezone.com, Masters was part of a television taping of OVW last night and his physique has changed drastically. According to the post, his physique has changed to the point that it'll be impossible to keep his "Masterpiece" gimmick going. Once again, this might be a rumor but here is the link: http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=157932579 [[User:Odin's Beard|Odin's Beard]] 00:04, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
== Contradictory information ==
This article: He had a ongoing relationship with Beth Phoenix, however they broke up and Phoenix married Joey Carolan. Mordetsky was pictured with a new girlfriend at the premiere of Kane's new movie, See No Evil.
[[Beth Phoenix]]: Despite popular internet belief, Phoenix has never dated Chris Masters, they worked together in OVW as (kayfabe) boyfriend & girlfriend.
Neither is cited. Which is it? [[User:Tromboneguy0186|Tromboneguy0186]] 03:57, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
==Polish?==
A. This needs a reliable source (no, not a Wiki mirror or his last name) and B. it shouldn't be in header, regardless [[User:Jack O'Lantern|Mad Jack]] 05:17, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
==Non-Steriod Picture==
The picture of him "off" steroids is out of date. That picture is from 2005 as you can see from the Hulk Hogan vs HBK Summerslam poster in the backgroud. Also he wouldn't lose that much mass. [[User:KPax|KPax]] 23:43, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I posted up in another section that he supposedly made his in ring return during an OVW taping last night and that his physique has changed considerably. Whether it's a rumor or not, I don't exactly know. But, if it's true, then I'd imagine a picture of him at the taping last night will be making the rounds over the net anytime now. [[User:Odin's Beard|Odin's Beard]] 00:06, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
The banner means nothing other than OVW left it up. Masters was on WWE TV at that time in 2005 and wasn't close to being that small. ([[User:PHOENIXZERO|PHOENIXZERO]] 00:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC))
I think it's unfair to say 'impossible'. It's extremely unlikely, but with the WWE, they could go anywhere with the gimmick, saying that a smaller body was needed to truly be a masterpiece, and I know it's ridiculous, but since when has the WWE been known for being sane? [[User:Adamaniac|Adamaniac]] 18:23, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I doubt that OVW is that lazy to leave a SummerSlam poster up for that long, If anything they would have at least changed it to a Wrestlemania Poster. [[User:KPax|KPax]] 14:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes, they are that "lazy" I'm watching their show from six days ago and you can briefly see the Hogan/Micheals poster in the background, this isn't anything new, they had old posters up back when I was there when they were in their old, stuffy arena. It's not a fake pic, the reason he was taken off of TV was obvious from the start and that picture just proves that was the case. ([[User:PHOENIXZERO|PHOENIXZERO]] 02:39, 20 August 2006 (UTC))
Just an update, I saw Chris Masters on OVW's 8/19 TV show doing a Masterlock challenge, he certainly does look smaller, he's lost quite a bit of his mass. ([[User:PHOENIXZERO|PHOENIXZERO]] 20:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC))
I'm watching his match with Cena on Raw right now. He's at least 30-35 pounds lighter than he was prior to his suspension. [[User:Odin's Beard|Odin's Beard]] 01:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, but I guess he's keeping the Masterpiece gimmick. Now that everyone should have seen him (aside from those of us who saw his OVW TV appearance) that be enough proof that he was on some sort of muscle enhancer?([[User:PHOENIXZERO|PHOENIXZERO]] 01:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC))
:While i'm sure he used steroids, he was also in rehab and they don't let you do things like workout while in rehab so he was bound to lose some muscle. [[User:TJ Spyke|TJ Spyke]] 05:52, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm pretty certain that he was taking steroids at one time, or at least as certain as anybody else can be that is. While I expected him to lose some weight due to being in rehab, maybe 10 pounds or so, he has to be at looks at 30 pounds lighter. Such a dramatic loss of muscle mass in such a short amount of time, there's really no other explanation that I can think of without him just being really sick. I don't believe that Masters will attempt to regain the lost mass because Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler both said something to the like of "the leaner and meaner Masterpiece". I don't know if that's exactly the words they used, but they commented on the fact that he was much leaner multiple times. That might not exactly mean anything at all, but it just gave the the feeling that he'll stay this way. [[User:Odin's Beard|Odin's Beard]] 23:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
==Weight==
His weight in kg:s and pounds doesn't match. Wich one on true? Also, since article says, he's lost MOST of his mass, that old weight isn't correct? (I personally don't think he lost that much muscle, just looks like it, because he gain some fat) BTW: sorry for possibly bad english --[[User:81.175.159.130|81.175.159.130]] 08:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

::What are you on!? --- [[User:Paulley|Paulley]]
I found out that his real name was Christopher Masterpiece a few months ago. I mentioned it on the Pro Wrestling Board on Gamefaqs and mentioned the great things he has done.

No. By the rules, holds have to be broken if one of the wrestlers touches the ropes or puts a hand or foot between them.

== Injury ==
He supposedly has been injured recently can it be noted [[User:82.4.71.30|82.4.71.30]] 03:38, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Had his elbow dislocated by the undertaker in a house show. The full story is as follows "It all started when Taker started working over Masters' arm early in the match. Masters tagged out and just stood there on the apron without selling the pain. On the other side of the ring, Taker was gesturing to Masters as if to say, "Sell your arm, dumbass." Masters still wasn't doing anything, and then Taker actually yelled it across the ring. Masters sold a bit and then apparently forgot again.
Masters was tagged back into the match, and apparently Undertaker roughed him up, blooding and perhaps breaking his nose. Masters then started having trouble breathing and got completely blown up. He finally rolled out of the ring and sold like he'd hurt his arm legit. As it turns out, Masters actually dislocated his elbow at some point.
Some guys came out and took Masters to the back. Finlay finished the rest of the match alone. That was the last time Masters wrestled on the tour. Also, a photo of Masters wearing a sling on his arm turned up online, so his injury was serious."

== Managers ==
I can't find any references anywhere that he was ever managed by Beth Phoenix, though I think I remember it, or Sherri Martel, which I most certainly do not remember. If anyone has a reliable source for these, please add them. [[User:Desirsar|Desirsar]] ([[User talk:Desirsar|talk]]) 02:44, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Looking at http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/s/sherri-martel.html Sherri Martel has probably never met Masters before, they were from different times and she only came back briefly at the end of her career. Looking at http://www.cagematch.de/?id=2&nr=592&view=manager#manager Beth Phoenix did manage Chris Masters, but only in OVW. I will make the necessary changes. Thanks Desirsar!

== TNA ==
Still not finding anywhere that says he is signed to TNA. Bleacher Report only says he's working with TNA's project in India, but not in what capacity. He doesn't say he's wrestling on his Twitter account, and that's not an acceptable source even if he did. [[User:Desirsar|Desirsar]] ([[User talk:Desirsar|talk]]) 05:27, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

== Orphaned references in [[:Chris Masters]] ==
I check pages listed in [[:Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting]] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for [[User:AnomieBOT/docs/OrphanReferenceFixer|orphaned references]] in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of [[:Chris Masters]]'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Since Chris Masters uses Scoop powerslam, Sidewalk slam and Vertical suplex powerslam, it creates a Variation of Powerslam because he uses multiple Powerslam variations. Please create Multiple Powerslam variations and add the three moves I've mentioned. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Yveshe|Yveshe]] ([[User talk:Yveshe|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Yveshe|contribs]]) 17:43, 11 February 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
