Actually, you don't need roids to bulk up anymore. But there is a lot of drug abuse among wrestlers.

[xzins]

Perhaps, but there's a level of bulk you cannot get without them.

But that's a different subject.

My real question is this: Do you think the WWE would call for and enforce (with testing) a ban on steroids of any variety?

[ItsOurTimeNow]

If I'm not mistaken, Crash had a daughter as well.

Just...damn

[AppyPappy]

Do you think the WWE would call for and enforce (with testing) a ban on steroids of any variety?

You seem to be asking me if I trust Vince. Let me think.No

[xzins]

That's honesty. Thanks, Appy.

Let's pray for this young man and his family.

Bob Holly was the one who used the racing gimmick.

Is Peterson guilty?

This is a gut feeling, but I think so.

Mostly because the reports of her death were quickly followed up by the police searching for a water burial in the bay where Peterson reportedly went fishing.

Of all the places for a "random murderer" to have placed her, lo and behold, she floats out of the bay half a year later.

Whatever else you might think, it took someone with a boat AND an interest to get her out that far and that deep into the water.

Peterson's guilty.

Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like the prosecutor has a lot of evidence to prove their case. I'm beginning to think he'll end up being declared "not guilty." That's a far cry from being found innocent.

Sorry about that last post. I was on one thread and somehow clicked the wrong window when I responded.

(Or the conspiracy theory version.......hmmmm....trying to change the topic, huh?)

[Moleman]

I didnt hear about Curt Henning, what did he die of?

[Moleman]

We may be ading Vince McMahan to the list after the Undertaker gets done with him...

[EveningStar]

Those are the one I can remember. There may be others.

CCC, here's an good site for that.

The "drug problem" in wrestling goes beyond steroids. In fact, steroids are probably the least dangerous drug being abused. Painkillers, alcohol and drugs like GHB and coke will all kill you. I'm not aware of anyone showing that steroids kill.

[TheBigB]

Boy. Crash wasn't one of my favorites, but I liked him okay. That's just sad. Wonder what happened?

I'm looking forward to seeing Bob Holly back in the ring.

Is Bruno Sammartino still with us?

[xsmommy]

OMG my Lithuanian grandma LOVED bruno! and johnny defasio also.

[EveningStar]

Yes. Bruno is still alive although he ended his wrestling days more than 20 years ago.

[EveningStar]

Let me ty this again, this time with proper grammar:

Deceased Pro Wrestlers

[Cheapskate]

I didint know the Shiek died when did that happen.
never saw him much though as I was anAWA boy back in the day.

Yes, Bruno's still with us. He wants nothing to do with Vince McMahon's wrestling/sports entertainment these days so we rarely see him around.
