Enigma 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2004 HHH interview and will his nose be larger by Sunday by Justin Transue I was listening to ESPN Radio today and at about 530pm, on "The Sports Brothers", HHH came on. It was about a 10 minute interview and HHH contradicted himself a few times but he came across as mostly well spoken and very humble. I don't have a transcript but here are the key points he said: *What is a wrestlers dream venue to perform in? What's the Yankee Stadium of pro wrestling? Hunter said it was the Garden in Manhattan and that even for house shows they go out and give them PPV performances because it's home. *In light of the recent steroid scandal in baseball, does HHH (he asked to just be called "Hunter) think wrestling has a steroid problem? He can't speak for every worker in the country buit overall no. He notes that other sports have athletes getting taller and heavier and more cut but in pro wrestling it's considerably gone down from 20 years ago. They ask Hunter if he's ever used steroids and Hunter answered yes, perscribed by a doctor for his torn quad but never recreationally, only under perscription. *They ask him about his bodybuilding and Hunter denies being a real bodybuilder and says he only has ever competed in Mr New Hampshire as a teenager but he is definitely a fan and amazed by the professionals, and also tries to attend Mr Olympia every year. *They bring up steroids in wrestling again and Hunter says wrestling isn't just an appearance business, you need a full package of story telling, athleticism, showmanship, charisma, a good look, etc. Hunter thinks "steroids get a bad rap... it's not like it's heroin". He says that he doesn't believe steroids are that bad and if enhancing performance is a bad thing then athletes shouldn't be allowed to train or do cardio or lift weights because all of those enhance performance (wow). *"What's one thing about Vince McMahon, a man I find entirely fascinating, honestly, that I don't already know?" Hunter says it's that Vince isn't the type to say "it's my way or the high way" and isn't a power monger. He says he listens to all his talent and writers and the rest of his staff and has to juggle them all to try andmake everyone happy and funnel all of their work into the best it can be. *They ask about drug addictions in wrestling and Hunter says there definitely are some out there but under the WWE Vince pays out of his own pocket to send them to rehab and set them straight. He cites William Regal and Eddy Guerrero situations as examples and really puts over Guerrero as a great man and supremely talented and now successful as WWE Champion. I may have forgotten a question or topic but I'm pretty sure that was the whole thing. Seems a little long to have been 10 minutes so it was probably actually 15. Was a good interview.

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted March 12, 2004 Wow, that's a really really stupid comment.

If the roids don't phyiscally do it themselves the affects they cause would result in death if someone is also stupid on them. Roid rage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most heart attacks that athletes/wrestlers die from are a result of steroid abuse. Ever wonder why Billy Graham was a cripple so early in his life? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyle Alzado's death was widely attributed to steroid abuse, for one. Yep, Alzado's cancer was the big thing that brought steroids onto the stage. His doctor stated that Alzado's brain cancer was specifically an effect from his years of steroid abuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Kid 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2004 Wow! And on the comment that steroid don't kill people... Steroids increase muscle mass, the heart is a muscle and while taking steroids your heart feels the same effects as say your biceps would. The excess size and work is not meant for your heart and thats why alot of wrestlers have died of heart problems. Look at Davey Boy Smith for instance, one day his heart just gave out because of the years of torture steroids put on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2004 So, we can now safely say that HHH has taken Steroids. Even if it was the "prescribed by a doctor" kind. I wonder how many prescriptions he had filled while he was rehabing that quad, or better yet maybe he's still "rehabing" his quad now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
