How can we as fans get wwe to start getting serious about steroid and drug use?

Question

I was rewatching a wrestling documentary the other day called "Bret Hart Wrestling WIth Shadows", with my wife, a non-wrestling fan. As the documenary was going along I began pointing out all of the wrestlers in there who are now dead, The British Bulldog, Owen Hart, Brian Pillman, Vader, Curt Henning. I'm only half way thorugh the docmentary. With the exception of Owen, these guys all in there 30's and 40's at that time in 1996, are now dead of some dort of drug related cause. On top of that you have Eddie Guerrero, and a ton of others dying in the last couple of years. Now you have SI doing a story on guys like Edge, Orton, Mysterio, allegedly involved with drugs. Short of boycotting wrestling all together what can we as fans do to show Vince that we do not want to see our favourite wrestlers dead at such a younge age. We want these people to entertain us and also have a long productive life?

Your right there superdork I was getting Vader and Bam Bam confused.

A couple of other points I'd like to add our that Ric Flair admitted to taking steroids in his book, and also that his heart did suffer, he just did not take them to the extent of others. As for test, he sucks anyway, if they really want ro make a point about steroids they'd nail someone like Batista, lashley, or HHH, who are probably on or were on roids.
And no I don't have proof, that that those guys are on roids, but you'd have to be a fool to think, that those guys got that big naturally.

Answer 1

yes, the british bulldog davey boy smith-may his beautiful soul rest in the heavens. but not all wrestlers take steroids, like the undertaker and kane who are already past their fourties and the undertaker is in his fifties getting ready to retire. look at rick flair and rowdy piper who ar in his sixties and ther bodies don't look big like the size of a horse. i think we should write letters to the wwe and express our concern as fans otherwise we won't attend their shows or watch them many many letters of the same kind should worry them

Answer 2

It falls on McMahon's deaf ears. Bob Costas asked McMahon the same question about all these young wrestlers dying, and McMahon got pissed off and started a tirade about how young people die all the time, but these wrestlers got noticed is because they're stars.

McMahon knows that he needs his wrestlers on steroids in order to make money. Do you think McMahon cares about his wrestler's health? NO!!! As soon as one dies, there are hundreds waiting in line just to wrestle for WWE, and if it means taking steroids and putting their lives at risk, they'll happily do it.

McMahon is pretending to eliminate steroid use with the Wellness policy, but the Wellness policy is a joke. Wrestlers are only docked 1 month's pay. They're not taken off TV shows. They still get paid for travels and expenses. And the biggest joke to the policy is that wrestlers are only suspended if they don't have a doctor's presciption. Just about any wrestler can find a doctor that will write him a prescription for steroids. Most of the wrestlers are probably given steroids anyway to help them heal. Why do you think Orton has been suspended so many times for steroid use? Because the policy is a joke. The punishment isn't harsh enough to deter wrestlers from using them.

I, for one, am happy that SI brought the issue to light because it might actually do some good. Hopefully, the government would intervene and do something about all these wrestlers taking steroids.

Vader isn't dead. He's still alive. You probably mean Bam Bam Bigelow, but he passed away recently.

this could be a severe situation that does might desire to be tackled finally... however the question approximately it fairly is: how do you attitude it? The existence of many in expert Wrestling of the previous and modern, inclusive of Umaga, are actually not the main admirable, and with habitual drug use, the harshness of expert Wrestling on the physique, and the shortcoming of solid nutrition on an identical time as lots of those expert Wrestlers are on the line does make for an impact interior the full ordeal. yet once you verify out the occupation as an entire, not many professional Wrestlers are envisioned to stay long lives, quite people who're seen morbidly obese and thank you to the certainty that a large style of them take quite not straightforward hits to the back. In Umaga's case, there have been drug and obesity to evaluate into this finished ingredient, and all of us comprehend little approximately how he lived his existence outdoors of that.

Answer 4

Most addictions are to pain killers. If Vince stepped in and made them stop abusing pain killers he would have no roster left. Some of these guys wrestle 52 weeks a year and rarely get time to heal their injuries. They need the pain killers to perform, they need to perform to stay on top and Vince needs them stay on top to make money. Although socially young these guys were wrestling dinosaurs. They had pretty lengthy careers and had completely turned to drugs because they had totally destroyed their bodies. It will be tough to cut down on it.

Answer 5

Until fans stop eating up everything Vince McMahon feeds them (house shows, merchandise, AND especially PPV) he's not gonna hear anything over the ring of the cash register.

Answer 6

Maybe when we attend the shows, we could make signs protesting steroid use instead of advertising our favorite wrestlers. Vince should take notice of that, not to mention the media.

Answer 7

Bam Bam did die of drug abuse it said so in the wrestling-news webcast. And wwe is getting serious about it. Why do u think they fired Test.

Answer 8

how about hold up a sign thats says "were concerned with your health not your physical apperance"

Answer 9

there is know prove of that show me then I'll believe it
