Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Don't know if this really deserves it's own topic as it's nothing big..but just something I noticed, well I'm sure everyone's noticed. Needless to say, this evening, I watched Summerslam 2000. (Eddie Guererro & Chyna vs Val Venis & Trish) And right now, I'm watching Smackdown..and all I can say is, HOLY SHIT...I want what he's having. So the question is, seriously, is it just a case of hard work..and a good work out..because I mean, in the time between now and..well 2000, I'm sure he's been to the gym enough times to be that big on his own, just from workouts. But then, it's also hard to believe that he's that big, because I mean..for his height, he's at like Scott Steiner levels it seems, without any kind of 'enhancement'. Whatever the deal, the guy is huge now, and looks to be getting the 'Batista veins', whether that's a good thing or bad thing I don't know, but just something I wanted to bring up.

iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 I noticed it tonight on Smackdown as well. He's on roids really bad. He was on them before, but he must be on something new. Cause he's gotten really bigger this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted July 22, 2005 99% chance It's a combination of hard work and roids. Probably growth hormone as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJ Johnson 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Technically, for anyone to look good, it has to be a combo of roids and hard work. 'Roids build mass, not muscle. You still have to exercise, or you just look bulky, and not muscular. That being said, Eddie's been having a rather nasty case of acne on his back lately.

Si82 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Judging by the back acne the guy has I would say he's on roids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silence 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Does anyone else have a bad feeling that Eddie might die somewhere in his 40's like a few other roided wrestlers because of his increased roid use as of late? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 shaving off body hair will also cause back acne. not saying Eddy isn't on the stuff, cause, yeah...he is, but someone having bumps on their back isn't the sure sign that people make it out to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest slmon Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Yeah, it looks like a definite case of roids to me re Eddie between the exaggerated muscles and bacne. I am concerned about his health down the line. Certainly, if he's doing this thinking that this is the only way he'll stay in main event territory, then it isn't worth it. And, yes, his look circa the PPV mentioned (SSlam 2000) was way more natural - and more appealling to this female fan - for his height. These days, he is so ripped all over that he barely has a waist anymore and appears shorter than he is - sort of like a human fire hydrant. Sylv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Another concern I have with how unnaturally big Eddie has gotten is the possibility of torn muscles, something he is no stranger to. It hasn't effected his performance in ring, but in the last month or so he really looks to have piled on some extra meat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yankovic fan 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Look at the way he grabbed at his family! ROID RAGE! ROID RAGE! ROID RAGE! Seriously, I'm with the sentiment that I hope he's taking his long term health into consideration when he's juicing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fro 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Most everyone is on roids in WWE. You don't look super ripped without using something, that's why you didn't see guys with those physiques back in the 1950s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mikazuki Report post Posted July 22, 2005 Most everyone is on roids in WWE. You don't look super ripped without using something, that's why you didn't see guys with those physiques back in the 1950s. Bodybuilders weren't "super ripped" in the 1950's because it wasn't popularized by Vince Gironda until the 60's. Bodybuilders were far more closely tied with strongmen in those times, and reducing your body fat to single digits served no athletic purpose. Viens and striations were seen as freakish back then and took time away from bulking. Steroids get far too much credit. I'm sure many wrestlers take them, but it's more for the purpose of maintaining their physiques while dealing with injuries, lack of rest and time. Almost any healthy person can build a drug free massive, ripped physique rivaling the best built WWE guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
