Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of talk online about WWE stars and whether or not they use steroids. It’s a touchy subject, and honestly, it’s been going on forever. I got curious and decided to dig in a bit myself, just for my own knowledge, you know?
First, I started by just Googling around – simple stuff like “WWE steroid use” and “wrestlers and steroids.” I figured I’d get the basic lay of the land.
What I found was a mixed bag. Lots of articles talking about the “steroid era” of wrestling in the 80s and 90s – that was wild, apparently! Then there’s stuff about WWE’s Wellness Policy, which they implemented to supposedly clean things up.
So, I dug into that Wellness Policy. It’s pretty detailed, actually. They list out all the banned substances, and it’s not just steroids – it’s all kinds of stuff. They talk about regular testing, penalties for failing, and all that.
But then, I started looking at forums and Reddit threads. And that’s where things get messy. You’ve got people saying, “Of course they’re all on something!” and others saying, “No way, the testing is too strict now!” It’s like a constant back-and-forth.
Some people pointed out that certain wrestlers look really big, and it seems unlikely they could get that way naturally. Others argued that it’s all about genetics, training, and diet.
I even checked out some interviews with former wrestlers. Some openly admitted to using steroids in the past, talking about the pressure to look a certain way. Others denied it completely or talked about how things have changed.
What I realized is that there’s no easy answer. It’s really difficult to make a solid conclusion.
- It is clear that the old time is full of steroids.
- Now there are systems to avoid steroids.
- But it’s hard to tell.
Basically, I ended up where I started – with a bunch of conflicting information. The official line is that steroid use is banned and tested for. But there’s always going to be suspicion and speculation, especially with the kind of physiques you see in professional wrestling.
