WOW! what happened to the WWE

[elg123]

I am not a huge wrestling fan but, I used to enjoy watching Friday night smack down at least a couple times a month. It had been months since i watched until this last Friday.. Is it just me or has the conditioning of the wrestlers just completely gone down the tubes. I remember Batista was just huge and ripped, before, now he almost has a gut. I don't know if I was impressed by anyone the whole show.. I deeply respect these men for there athletic ability, but most of them looked like shadows of their former selves. Is this due to the huge public scrutiny of steroid use, have the wrestlers really gone clean, their still huge but not huge and shredded like many once were

Again no disrespect to pro wrestlers as I deeply respect how they put their bodies on the line week after week

Strictly enforced Wellness Policy....

I read in their wellness policy that they are even barred from taking ephedra, which you can still pick up at most express marts and pharmacies OTC. Kind of weak if you ask me.

Yeah, I have noticed that myself while channel surfing. Its a new climate of increased scrutiny, no doubt, especially after Benoit.

 

[gtj220]

I've noticed the same thing, it seems that if you are willing to jump 20 feet head first onto a table or concrete floor you can be a pro wrestler. Better to tangle yourself in barbwire and crack someone in the head with a steel chair and mask with pain killers than take dangerous steroids.

IMO it will go back to what it was after some of those guys are hit with chronic injuries and their revenues drop like a stone from a ten storey building.
Maybe they will have to base in a different country (Canada, Mexico), but it will be done.

Cena looks bigger than ever. Orton looks smaller. just my thoughts

I saw the same and am not even interested in watching any more. I'm sure their audience has completely fallen off.......

Agreed.

No more ultimate warriors and Macho Man Savage anymore.

But yeah a lot of them look like slobs.

Was thinking the exact same thing watching Raw and Smackdown a few days ago.

TRIPLE H is still big but much softer, and Edge, since he came back from his injury, has never been so fat.

Could go on...

I think once the hype dies down, you will see them start putting size back on. I mean christ look at Vince he juices for sure and I know before all of this Benoit crap he promoted them to use performance enhancing substances. What I dont understand is why they just dont get on HRT, then they would be legally able to do it , thus bypassing the whole anti doping/ wellness program. I hope they dont start turning into the fat asses they used to be in the early 80s I believe it was NWA or AWA wrestling orgs. Is there a wellness program in TNA also?

 

[Hellbilly]

All of the WWE Divas seem to still be doing their supplements They look hotter than ever.

 

[Big Dave Smith]

I never understood wrestling past the age of 12. Now that I'm older, I'll watch UFC. Real athletes in real competition with real skill. Wrestling has good athletes... but at what? Faking a fight?

Let it die out.

Just my opinion. I understand that people like it, I just don't. I don't like cheese either, but if you want to eat cheese, great!

Can they get HRT on the road like that, going from state to state? Don't they have to go to one clinic?
