So. Steroids in wrestling.

[Kane Knight]

I'm making a new thread because the other thread was primarily about Masters. Or intended to be, or whatever. This is about steroid use company wide.

Part of wrestling is most definitely the "look" of a wrestler. With a demanding tour schedule and the like, it's got to be hard to keep in "top" shape. We're talking a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation for a lot of the "big" talent. While someone like the Big Show only needs to keep eating to maintain his figure, people like Masters, Hunter (Ignore the fact that hsi schedule's lighter, I'm just using him as an example), Lesnar, etc. May have difficulty with the type of bodybuilding needed within their tour schedule.

A lot of people do complain about specific wrestlers being on steroids, but so many clearly are. Let's not ignore this. Steroid use seems to be only mentioned in a few cases, but is widely used. You only need to see so many people blow up in size to understand this.

Now, why is this a problem? Steroids aren't as dangerous as regularly pegged, and if wrestlers want to take the risks for a livelihood, is it worse than the other shit we see idiots do on TV? While steroids are considered unsportsmanlike, the WWE is hardly a sport. It's not like they are really winning and losing out there, since it's scripted and designed to be entertainment, not any sort of professional respect for fairness. Hell, if it was a sport, we wouldn't be sticking Kurt Angle and sharmell or Lesnar and Shannon Moore together in a rassling ring. And no, that wasn't a "Shannon's a girl" joke, just to keep people up to date.

I do think it's stupid for some people to juice. No way Rey Rey needs to look as big as he does. If he was pressured to bulk up, I'm against that. We should be forcing some of the out of shape fuckers to do it instead.

I'm curious as to what people think about steroid use in wrestling, whether it's fine or not, but I also just wanna tell people to lay the fuck off the talent if you're not going to lay into a large body of wrestlers for it. Show a little consistency.
