Perc Angle was sweating the new drug policy in 2005 and damn near snitched on himself

Never quite understood why that shyt wasn't allowed in the WWE, it's not a real sport lol.

The idea that it's "fake" doesn't mean that the shyt they do doesn't hurt.

"Ay yo, go jump 20 feet off a ladder through this table. :jawalrus:"
"isn't that gonna hurt? :patrice:"
"nah it's all fake remember :jawalrus: "
"Okay... oh shyt my back is all fukked up now... can I take some prescription pain pills? :sadcam:"
"Heavens no! What would the children think! :hhh:"

Kurt was doing ridiculous sh1t week in week out that you can't do without drugs and probably would've been another Eddie or Benoit if they didn't release him.

Because Eddie Guerrero dropped dead of a heart attack and Benoit killed his family a couple years later. It's not about performance, it's about guys being healthy. And say what you want about WWE, but the roster now has clearly less steroid abuse than it did in the 2000s and nobodys dying on the roster.

That was clearly a myth. It wasn't the prescription pills that made crispin wah do that shyt, it was the CTE which is still going to happen in the WWE so long as bumps and concussions exist. You're right that the abuse of pills led to a lot of premature deaths, I was moreso talking about just any use of drugs whatsoever being verbotten as if it's not ingrained in the culture.

Chris Benoit's death, pills might not've contributed. A roided out guy with CTE is probably more likely to be violent than a clean one. Eddies death pills probably played a role in, and they definitely had Angle fukked up.

Steroids and pills are always gonna be around, but just letting guys run wild didn't go well, reigning the wrestlers in some has been at least somewhat successful.

When all these people are having heart attacks pre 40 or right after 40...thats a problem.
