They should seriously package Marc Mero's upcoming CS figure with his "list of wrestlers who have died that he has wrestled" I'm getting tired of people bashing Mero because he's got a list of wrestlers that he wrestled against that are now dead. Don't you find it the least bit scary that he can provide a list of over 25 people that he wrestled against that are now dead?? What other person from sport or entertainment field can provide a list like that?? NONE!! I like what Mero is doing and I hope it continues. He's trying to do whatever he can to help the situation, unlike WWE where they aren't doing anything but making the situation worse. And anyone who tries to defend the WWE's drug testing and "Wellness policy" is a fool because it's a joke. Just a complete joke. Just look at guys like Batista and Lashley and tell me they aren't taking steroids. And yet, somehow they have and continue to pass the drug tests.....Whatever. A doctor should write up a list of all his paitents that died

But how many recent top superstars have died do to steriods/drugs? It goes to show you that you dont need to be a roided freak to be on top. Actually, you make a great point, but it's the opposite of what you intended. Let's look at WWE's Raw & Smackdown world champions, going back 4 years or so (to ensure we're talking about the CURRENT state of WWE, which some people seem to be up in arms about). Of those men, which guys could be considered the smallest (thus proving, as you said, that "you don't need to be a roided freak to be on top")? Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, RVD and Edge. Mysterio: Documents came out this summer proving he's been on steroids, in amounts not usually deemed thereputic. Benoit: Went nuts, killed his whole family, hung himself... with a buttload of steroids in the house and 10x the normal level of testosterone in his system. Guerrero: Died when his heart -- twice the size it should have been -- just gave up. Years of drug abuse, including steroids, were actually included on the death certificate as the likely cause. Angle: His biggest problem (by his own admission) was always painkillers, but his name came up this year in the Sports Illustrated investigation about a sports doping ring, specifically for steroids. RVD: He might actually be clean, unless you count marijuana. Edge: His name was also tied to the steroid ring in the Sports Illustrated article. He claims it was just for recovery from surgery, but then, why wouldn't his normal doctor prescribe the drugs? Why would he have to go through a "ring" to get the stuff/amounts he desired?

Thankyou. I love you. I say this to myself all day everyday. People care too much about wrestlers personel lives. If they want to put their life at risk, let them do it. Umm..no. This argument is complete & utter craop. Steroids should be elimninated, period. Everybody knows that Vince likes his wrestlers muscular so taking steroids will help your case in being liked. Is that not unfair? When somebody juices, it holds back other talent. It's completely unfair. Guys who don't WANT to take steroids may feel forced to because they see that the only ones being pushed to the top are the roided-up freaks. Besides, we shouldn't just " let them do it because it's their choice." Would you let your brother rot away and die to drug use just because " it's his choice?" No..you'd put him in rehab. Are you Vince McMahon? Do you personally know that's what he thinks? No. Yes, more wrestlers with bulier bodies are pushed, but that's just the way things are. I still don't see why it should bother us if these wrestlers do this. I agree that steroids should be eliminated, but truth be told it does make for a better product. The majority of the roster is most likely on steroids. Some of your the best "non-steroid" use wrestlers are most likely on roids. Hell, remember when Jamie Noble got busted a few years ago. No one would have ever suspected he used roids. It is unfair, but it's really not anyone on this forums place to stop it. It is these wrestlers' personal choice, and not ours to make. As for the argument of the brother using drugs...I wouldn't force him into rehab. If someone wants to change, they have to decide that themselves. It's not my decision to control his life. Yes, I would try to influence him to get off drugs and help him out if I could. But if he wanted to go to rehab or make a serious change...it's his life, his rules. - Vertan
