Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted February 28, 2003 Every now and then someone will ask about if steroids are used in Puroresu. Well this ought to help answer that question "I want to buy steroids with the prize money from tomorrow's championship so I can increase my weight to 70 kg." -- Takehiro Murahama, talking about K-1 3/1 Ariake Colosseum show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Coffin Surfer Report post Posted March 1, 2003 well k1 is a shoot fighting promotion so this doesent really mean that roids are used in real puro No, even guys like Kawada have used roids before. There's a Tom Zenk article on the subject that floats through here from time to time that's an interesting read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EL DANDY~! 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2003 Kawada didn't use them as much, I think zenk said only on a couple of occasions. I don't think he even used them in Japan...he was talking about him while in Canada. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest PlatypusFool Report post Posted March 2, 2003 I'm sure that some, maybe most, puroresu wrestlers have used 'roids before, but the difference between them and, say Scott Steiner, is that they don't abuse them. Although I don't know if this is fact, I can assume that steroids are much like most drugs - absolutely fine in moderation, only becoming dangerous if you abuse them.
