5 Famous WWE Wrestlers Who Were Allegedly Once On Steroids

A perfect body physique is needed to become a WWE Superstar. Without a good body, one may not become a fan favourite. There are a lot of drugs available in today's time that a wrestler can take to give a perfect shape to their body. One of those drugs is steroids. Wrestlers usually take it to build a perfect body structure but this is very harmful to their health.

In the history of the WWE, many big wrestlers have taken this substance. However, a lot has changed now in the WWE and currently, there are many strict rules regarding the WWE's Wellness Policy. Although that wasn't the case before the death of the famous Mexican wrestler, Eddie Guerrero. Here are 5 WWE superstars who allegedly once used steroids in their life.

#5 Eddie Guerrero

At one time, WWE Superstar Eddie Guerrero also used steroids that weren't illegal to take in the WWE that time. However, this proved to be the biggest mistake of his life, which also became a major reason for his death. In 2005, he suffered a heart attack in his hotel room and died there.

According to a report, he also received a drug shipment from Florida, 11 days before his death, which contained steroids testosterone, nandrolone, and the estrogen blocker anastrozole, which is often used by wrestlers to stop the growth of their heart muscles.

After his death, WWE launched its wellness policy and today if any wrestler is caught taking steroids (or any other substance that is banned by the company), then a suspension and fine will be imposed on him/her. If the same wrestler does this up to 3 times then the company will also fire him. It is sad to say that a wrestler like Guerrero left the world very early only because he wanted a perfect body shape to wrestle.

#4 Vince McMahon

The Chairman also took some Juice?

Vince McMahon is not a wrestler by profession but he has fought many matches in the company. He is currently 73 years old but his body is very similar to some of the wrestlers of today and it may be a result of taking steroids.

In 1993 he involved himself in a steroids controversy where allegations were made against him by the prosecutors. In 1994, the case went into the trial where he admitted that not only he took steroids but also distributed them to the other fellow wrestlers of that time. Although after the creation of WWE's Wellness Policy many things have changed.

#3 Kurt Angle

The Olympic Gold medalist also took this drug

Currently, he is the General Manager of Raw who has been sent to a vacation by Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. According to the rumours, Angle will soon return to the ring. He has one of best body physique in the company and this is why he can still perform well.

However, once the former Olympic Gold Medalist admitted that he used steroids in 2004 and for this, he got suspended by the company and also paid $125,000 as a fine. As per him, he no longer is a steroid taker but once he used this drug.

#2 Stone Cold Steve Austin

The Rattlesnake

During his wrestling career, WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin also took steroids. However, the fans got to know about this when his ex-wife Debra Michelle complained about domestic abuse to the police.

According to her, Austin was a steroid taker and because of that, he suffered from roid rage which was giving panic attacks to him. After 8 weeks of this incident, the authority arrested him. He pleaded for no contest and paid a fine of $1000, and was asked to do 80 hours of community service and stay away from alcohol for 12 months.

#1 The Rock

The People's Champ

The Rock is one of those wrestlers whose has a perfect body for wrestling. In an interview given to MTV, he told that he used steroids during his college along with his friends.

However, most of his fans were already aware of this because since the time of his wrestling career his body physique changed a lot. The Rock in all these years has made a huge career out of Hollywood and it is expected of him to have stopped using any unwarranted substances now.
