I hold the deepest respect for WWE wrestlers that travel from city to city across the U.S. to entertain their fans, but recently my respect has turned into worry. After wrestler, Chris Beniot killed his family and himself, the WWE has gone through investigations concerning the usage of steroids and growth hormones by other wrestlers.
Beniot took growth hormones during his wrestling career to build his physic and was under prescription to take steroids when he murdered, so this provoked the thought that other wrestlers might have the same freedom Beniot had to take enhancers.
Some WWE wrestlers do take enhancers by doctor’s prescription, which is legal. The WWE says it intends to tighten its rules about drug use because right now, a wrestler could be suspended only if he takes steroids illegally without any medical approval. I support what the WWE wants to do, but I really hope its enforcement is successful. It’s going to be tough to get every wrestler off physical boosters because there’s always going to be doctors that give those prescriptions. There are crooked people in all businesses, so the doctors the wrestlers are going to should be investigated too.
This might look bad to wrestlers who have become addicted to steroids, finding it impossible to perform with out steroids, but as much as it’ll cause heart break to them, it’s causing more heart break to their fans.
For me, a wrestler just has to have excellent technique and love for the sport to become popular. I don’t want them to destroy themselves by taking steroids because the sadness I have knowing that they’re hurting themselves intentionally for their fans outweighs the happiness I feel when I hear my favorite wrestler’s music blast on the speakers.
















it is saddening... but this is real life and we can just look at it as wrestlers using and abusing are bad people, but as that we need to get them help

It really scares me that wrestlers are doing this to themselves because even though i don't personally know them, i depend on them and the WWE so much to help me forget about my problems in life. I hope they realize soon how much their actions are emotionally impacting their fans.
i agree with you and i sincerely hope that wrestlers do stop using enhancers to boost their physique because what matters more is the passion that they show while they're in the ring.
even though people say its "fake," wrestlers shouldn't try to get a wider audience by looking better and destroying their health, they need to focus on making that punch look like it hurt, or making that submission move look agonizing so that people could STOP saying that the sport is "fake," because it really isn't.
i think that wrestlers are like modern day heroes because they don't have to put their body through so much labor just to entertain millions of people. i greatly appreciate all wrestlers because they risk their lives to make me smile.
it's an odd profession to travel continuously, work out, and act. i'm sure that if wrestlers weren't around today, the wrestling profession would be non existant.
i hope that sometime in the near future wrestlers realize that they don't need to take steroids to make fans happy.
guessing that you are a fan as well, i relate to how you feel. It's true... wrestling isn't a sport that's in demand right now. Wrestlers enter the WWE for the love of it, to be famous, to make lives a little better. They deserve the greates admiration for the talent they have to multi task and their physic should be less important.
