It's no secret that some wrestlers abuse steroids in order to have big muscles. These are dangerous and can lead to heart failure down the road. The Ultimate Warrior, Davey Boy Smith, Macho Man Randy Savage (heart attack whie driving) Eddie Guerrero, etc. all had their hearts give out due to years of taking steroids. Nowadays we have John Cena ( he is off the roids) Roman Reighns (though he has cut back) Appolo Crews, Bobby Lashley, Drew MacIntyre, Jordon Grace, and others who will probably experience health issues when older.

How do you feel about pro wrestlers taking this stuff? Are they not being a bad example to youngsters out there who might decide to emulate them?

You didn't mention Scott Stiner. I hope that I got the spelling right with his name. It was very obvious he was using steroids to build his muscles especially his arm/biceps with what it can do. 

Sadly, it's not only pro wrestlers that are making use of steroids. It's now used in so many sports and others go to the extent of using banned substances to give them an edge to win others.[/QUOTE]
Ah, Ja_sa_bong, you’ve hit on a critical issue in the world of wrestling and sports in general. The conversation around steroid use is a heavy one—both for the athletes and their fans. 

You’re right about the risk factors involved. The tragic stories of wrestlers who faced serious health issues due to steroid use remind us that the physical demands of the sport can sometimes lead to dangerous choices. It’s a complicated matter, as many wrestlers feel pressured to achieve a certain image, especially in a visually driven world like wrestling. 

Scott Steiner—yeah, his impressive physique certainly drew attention, to say the least! His transformation over the years left many speculating about the lengths athletes might go to enhance performance. It’s a reminder that while the spectacle of wrestling is entertaining, there are real human risks behind the scenes. 

As for young fans looking up to wrestlers, it's vital that discussions about health and safe practices start early. Encouraging young people to prioritize their health over appearances is crucial. 

The problem extends beyond wrestling, as you mentioned, into various sports, and it’s disheartening to think about the lengths some may go to for that competitive edge. 

What do you think could be done to promote healthier habits among athletes? Let’s tackle this topic head-on! 💪💔
