In Wrestling - Steroids

From their entrance in the 1960s through gyms shared by bodybuilders and wrestlers, steroids have found their way into all corners of the pro wrestling world. Join us as we examine how one chemical substance has become deeply entrenched with the phrase professional wrestling.
Edit: Had to remove a clip of Macho Man hyping up Vince McMahon for beating the U.S. Justice Department in the middle of the ring 1-2-3, live on an episode of of Raw. It's really quite a clip in hindsight. Go check it out.

Imagine what a WWF locker room was like in the 80’s and 90’s. Bunch of grown men on gear, testosterone was off the charts. Throw in coke, painkillers and muscle relaxers.

Can you even imagine the amount of overdoses that were never brought to the publics attention? How close some of them actually died in hotel rooms, before they actually did. Wrestlers are mostly superstitious like that, and respectful for the most part to workers that's earned it. They don't talk about the boys exploits that are bad, after their gone. You hear a lot of the boys say in shoot interviews, I don't like to talk about guys that are gone. But if some did? The stories, your absofukinlutley right.

Imagine if they had reality TV back then.

@@ChrisHughes-q1v the stories that Scott Hall and Kevin Nash told about the things that happened in the locker room were so insane you’d think it was made up, but it wasn’t. The drug abuse, the pranks, all of the backstabbing..

[@ChrisHughes-q1v]

To this day. Is it not guys, still awesome to watch a 4 Horseman mugging of Star 🌟 Dust ? 😊😊 That boys, is wrasslin.

In my opinion I don't care if athletes use steroids. I don't care if people use drugs in general. In fact I haven't really seen any good come out of making them illegal. I've only seen the effect criminalizing drugs add to the stress of abusing drugs. Don't give me BS about any of those cities that are seemingly turning a blind eye to the issues of drugs like Portland, OR or Oakland, CA. Because they haven't made them legal and they aren't enforcing laws that should be enforced like theft and squatting. Two different issues. Why care about athletes doing steroids when it's their body and sports are not essential. They're a bi-product of a successful economy. Neither the people who do them or the sports themselves should be taken seriously. It's not as if these people are nuclear physicists or bankers.

It’s the safety of the talent. Roid rage is an issue. Heart attacks are an issue. You don’t wanna get your talent hurt or hurt someone else. Also it makes it to where you have to use them substances to even compete in any sport if it is legal, because you will be in such a disadvantage against your opponent.

Now this makes so much sense. They all be juicing.

All these comments are on̈ point, good bad or indifferent

[@hemi5.7awdpursuit5]

Good or bad I think athletes performers can use enhancements from 3-6 months out of a year. Being on 6-9 months off cycle recovery pct

why is all the font backwards?

[@ElmoKnowsWhereYouLive5150]

It's called flipping the negative. It avoids a copyright issue.

[@atlasblast2082]

So the voice over wasn't enough for free-use? You had to flip the image too

[@Will21st]

Legalize all drugs!

[@andrewmann4067]

I'm sure that'd turn out just peachy

[@thekingofkingsrp]

​@@andrewmann4067I have to agree with that take. There is a line to be drawn at heroin and fet. Nothing good would come from that.

[@MonstroLab]

@@andrewmann4067nanny state's war on drugs didn't turn out too peachy either, a prison industrial complex that doesn't deter hardened criminals in fact its retirement plan for many (Free rent, free food, free healthcare) and drug related crime and cartels are rampant everywhere etc... let Darwin do his job and the smart will survive and the stupid wont, as nature originally intended.

[@ChrisHughes-q1v]

Rich Piana talking about steroids and wrestlers dying young is strange, since he died not long after, from steroids. 😮😢

[@ppiorkowski1502]

@user-nx5kk5ho7j it was never said that Piana died from steroids!! Stop with your bullshit!! This is EXACTLY how false rumors get started. There was a white powder substance at the scene where he was found.
