Styles 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2003 Well, the shit is about to hit the fan. But maybe in a good way. Do we really want to read 10 or 15 years down the line about the likes of Eddy, Angle or even Triple H dropping dead from enlarged hearts or whatever. Hopefully everyone gets cleaned up...

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2003 If Vince wants to be SPORTS Entertainment, than he can deal with the steroids problem just like the NFL/NBA/Olympics are having to do as of late especially with the whole new thing about the undetectable "designer" steroids that will be declared illegal by the US government rather soon. Or Vince could take the MLB approach and do nothing until the government forces them to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a good point. Wrestlers have enough injuries to deal with w/o those caused by steroids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted November 2, 2003 (edited) I hope to god it's Angle, Benoit, Eddie or all 3. I'd love to see the internet stick up for them like they did nothing wrong. I'd stick up for them. Why? I'd stick up for them because wrestling is not a competive sport in the sense that the outcome is predertimined so taking the roids is less of a cheat. People taking steroids in a promoted NATURAL bodybuilding competition I would have a problem with though. Without the roids, there are quite a few wrestlers who wouldn't even be looked at by the WWE because of their size. The natural lighter superstars have to make the money so they really have their backs up against the wall. If they're not going to do it someone else may just take their spot that is willing to do it. I'll go as far as to say I respect in a way some of the people who take roids. It truly shows how commited they are to their craft with the lengths they're willing to take to get there. I respect that. Still, it's something you definitely shouldn't fool around with and something I don't reccomend. There are side effects but than again there are side effects to drinking, smoking and other drugs. And what do you get from them? Essentially nothing but bad health. Edited November 2, 2003 by wildpegasus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Basswitch Report post Posted November 2, 2003 If its Jericho, or Christian I'll be surprised. If its Eddie or Benoit.. it would suck... but i would not be that surprised. I'm personally hoping that it ends up to be like...Michael Cole. Does Brock live in tampa? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted November 2, 2003 Why do so many live in Tampa? Is it for the warm weather? I imagine after tours they want warmth and the beach and shit I guess... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted November 2, 2003 From the Observer's web page: An unusually high percentage of big name pro wrestlers live in the Tampa area, for a number of reasons including no state tax, the weather, and fairly easy airport travel (well, compared to living in Calgary or California) to most of the dates since there are more events on the East Coast than anywhere.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted November 2, 2003 Does Brock live in tampa? Brock lives in some town somewhere in MN. He doesn't live in Minneapolis anymore though. According to Meltz, Kurt Angle did an interview on Thursday where the steroid issue was addressed. In addition to declaring Brock Lesnar 100% natural, he said that steroids in wrestling is acceptable because "it's more of a circus than a sporting event". Way to put over your craft, Kurt.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2003 From what I've seen of the lovely steriod users of time past. Sudden baldness, veins popping up on your arms when you barely move them (aka Scott Steiner and Eddie before he got fired from the WWF that first time), sudden constant injuries left and right when they even move and RUTHLESS AGGRESSION. The only ones I suspect are Steiner, Triple H since he now seems fragile as paper, Randy Orton may have but odds are he stopped and of course, Linda Miles. I highly doubt RVD even touches supplements since he seemed VERY much torn up when I think Louie died. As I said, I have suspects but I will not blame them immediately....ok, I will blame Steiner.
