Pro wrestlers and 'chemical assistance'

[Vlad Tepes]

Everyone and their sister speculates on what pro bodybuilders are using, how much they're using, if they're using a shit-ton or not, etc...
My question is what in the hell are pro wrestlers using (or were using, rather, since nowadays it looks like the WWE roster was hit with a shrink ray save for a few guys)? It's clear as day that there was some abuse going on, but are they using similarly high doses as bodybuilders are? Do they ever come off?
What do you guys think?





just a few ideas of what I'm talking about if you aren't that familiar with wrestling

Yeah think wrestlers are actually banned from using steroids now aren't they, trying to make it more family orientated, when I was a kid I used to love wrestling the bigger guys were always my favourites, not sure if I'd feel the same watching it now they look like normal guys what's the point

Yeah I said the same thing. Some guys obviously slipped through the cracks somehow (Cena, Ryback), but it's still mostly a much 'cleaner' program now.

they claim this but their testing (if they do actual test) test is a joke. I used to play poker with a pro wrestler and as soon as I took my big hoodie off and he saw how much size I was sporting he warmed himself up to me in a hurry and flat out asked me where I get my stuff.

any steroid talk is just that.. talk. in reality they all juice heavily and WWE doesn't care. no way could you get in a ring and pick up and throw a 250+ pound man over and over and over and over and over again without being on juice. that type of strength is impossible without PED's.. the same goes for any professional athletes out there. these organizations have testing but the testing is an absolute joke, just done to keep politicians and the scared public out of their business to make it appear they are against it

Really? That's interesting. Was that recent? The wrestlers have shrunk dramatically, surely they aren't nearly as roided as before 2005-07?

Yeah think randy orton got banned a couple of times for juicing that's what I heard which surprised me cos he's really popular thought they'd do selective testing on people that definitely wernt on anything to avoid banning people, I think it's gone downhill since cleaning it up

you could easily get away with it using no ester compounds

I don't follow wrestling that close but if guys are 'smaller' I think it has more to do with a lack of talent and marketable athletes. why put yourself through a life of misery after wrestling when you can do what the Rock did and go make a few D rate movies and make millions in the process? square that with wrestling and breaking your body for life for way less money

Yeah I didn't think they tested until I heard a couple of wrestlers got a temporary ban and think Batista got sacked or am I wrong? Don't actually watch it anymore but still interests me to see who's on there nowadays and how much the physiques have change, and it's amazing how little the general public know about juice people actually believed triple h and John cena etc are all natural lol

no, strangely enough, Batista was ironically one of the few who didn't get sacked in 2007 when Signature Pharmacy got busted. It was John Morrison, Randy Orton, Chris Masters, Rey Mysterio off the top of my head.
And yeah a lot of people think that with some good hard work and a perfect diet (which these guys can't have being on the road 200+ days a year) they'll have a physique comparable to Triple H's in 2002.
