Steroids in Wrestling...

[ShinChan]

So if you want success then you need to be juiced up?

I would be better be unsuccessful on my natural talent rather than being successful with artificial one.

But when you want to succeed, and you're constantly getting passed up by people who are on a Doctor Approved Steroid Regimen, there's tremendous pressure to get on a Doctor Approved Steroid Regimen yourself. With anabolic steroids being banned for everyone in the WWE (unless they still have a TRT exemption), there's no longer as much pressure to juice up; not that some performers aren't still doing it.

Fuck off with the high horse wrestling fan bullshit. Your neckbeard is showing.

Stone Cold almost certainly was juicing during his time on top, though an awful lot of that was to help recovery from his various injuries.

And sure, being large isn't necessary to be larger than life... but it helps a whole shitload. You're only thinking in terms of wrestling. I'm talking about success on a different level. Daniel Bryan or Dean Ambrose isn't going to be asked to be in any major motion pictures or anything like that.... but The Rock and Batista are.

He was jucing, he has said so.


So was 90% of everyone else.

I don't think people grasp quite how common and non-chalant it is among athletes and bodybuilders alike.

And this right here is why its a good idea that its not allowed.

"Well if this guy took 250mg, ill take 280!"

So on and so forth. Watch the old survivor series from the late 80s and early 90s.

This is the same dude who went on a tear in the kimbo slice thread saying his constant steroid abuse had absolutely zero effect on his heart problem and eventual heart related death, right?

Contant steroid abuse? And you have proof of this fucking moron or are you just assuming? NorCal even stated that Kimbo abused other drugs as well (including cocaine) when served bodyguard for porn campanies back in the early 2000's. Maybe THAT had something to do with it. You are true idiot. I have already stated that Kimbo NEVER failed a drug test in his MMA career (spanning 10 years) except his his last one a few months before he passed. Get your facts straight idiot.

you introduce a professional steroid scheme is managing that to an effective extent. WWE probably have the money to ensure that it happens, but I highly doubt they would consider the positives of that sort of system as outweighing both the costs and the social/media stigma. There's also an issue when it comes to the independent scene - if the WWE change their approach, there's potential to cause an extremely unregulated surge of use in places that simply can't handle it enough to make it safe. You also might end up in a situation where the guys trying to make it to the WWE are pushing themselves beyond all safe limits because they won't have to worry about being tested.

Professional steroid scheme?!? LOL are you a fucking moron?!? Steroids are ILLEGAL in the United States. If you think the WWE would introduce a "professional steroid scheme" and take kind of risk no matter WHAT the "benefits" are you are a TRUE idiot. WWE as a publicly traded company is not TOUCHING the steroid and//or TRT issue with a 10 foot pole. If it so happens you do it without their knowledge fine but if you think they are going to introduce a "professional steroid scheme" or change their stance when it comes ILLEGAL drugs you are a MORON and your post was WORTHLESS

 

[Makaveli31]

What an idiot?!?? LOL WWE, which has a HISTORY of serious legal problems involving not only the USE of steroids but also being accused of DISTRIBUTING steroids in the early 90's is going to change their stance on steroid use and/or TRT.

To even think that the WWE, as a publicly traded company on Wall Street after the whole Chris Benoit double murder-suicide might even think about changing their stance on illegal performance enhancing drugs is the definition if idiocy

 

[Makaveli31]

Obviously, any steroid used as a recovery/exercise aid under supervision from professionals is fine, I don't really think anyone would be swayed as far as disagreeing to that extent

Pfft, OK, guys use steroids just for "recovery/exercise aid" LOLLOLOL who are you? Jon Jones' manager?!? LOL "Yes I take performance enhancers STRICTLY for recovery." You are a complete moron if you believe that.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

If it isn't legitimate competition, I don't care. WWE falls under that umbrella.

And to be clear, I don't believe responsible steroid use causes you to murder your family. WWE, however, has to be careful as it definitely makes people more aggressive when they abuse it. That mixed with brain trauma can't be good.
