Come on guys give the man a break... He never really put steroids down in the interview, he just clearly stated what he did... Look it all boils down to self promotion or the promotion of his new wrestling venture... He is doing what he feels he has to do to make it work, and that is go in a different direction from the WWE... Hogan is just saying that he did steroids because it was his way of making it in the industry... Its just like aging baseball players, football players etc, they make the decision to juice so that they can continue on with their careers (aka Bonds, McGuire, Giambi)... Otherwise they will be put aside and some young guy (who is juicing) will take their spot... They are pushed through school and recieve little to no education, so this is the only way they know to make money and support their families... So they HAVE to do what it takes to make a living... So do I blame them? Hell no!! But you have to look at it like Hogan and many guys who have kids or will have grandkids, do they want their children having to do what they did to get what they want in life? No... Thats why they made the sacrifice... Sure its fun along the way I guess, but its still an uncertain sacrifice with unknown consequences... I am sure none of us want our kids juicing... Or at least I would hope not... But for a kid looking to be an athlete it is almost inevitable that they will have to use it to get where they wanna go... So don't bash Hogan for giving guys an avenue that has a little cleaner image and does not require one to abuse their bodies like WWE... Trust me McMahon gives a shit about no one!! He is in it for the money.. But it seems that many respect him for his lack of compassion... Rather than accept that there is a problem within his company,(not with just juice, but rather with painkillers, alcohol and rec drugs) and try to correct it before there is another death, he does damage control and continues to rake in the cash... To me he is no worse than Don King who has used and abused boxers for his own gain... With no remorse whatsoever...
There comes a time when we look back and regret things we've done... It will happen to all of us... Maybe that is what has happened to Hogan... Who knows... But let me say this... We are all hypocrites... We tell our children not to do stuff, when we know full well we did those same things... Would it be better for us to say, "yeah son go ahead and do that line of coke at the party tonight, because I did when I was your age. I just hope you don't turn into a coke head, and have to go to rehab!" So being a hypocrite is part of being human..
