really don't think juicing really contributes to their health problems much. It's like a papercut. All those blows to the neck are killing them though. Benoit, Angle, Austin, Edge and many others have had vertebrae in their neck fused. They are basically risking paralysis every time they take a bump. Blading has little to do with it.

I sometimes wonder why a lot of these guys do it. Especially the guys that work real hard to get to a level like the WWE and are paid peanuts. I would expect they all would all explain it as some kind of natural high they get from performing in a match on TV and in frong of thousands of people.

they do it because we the fan demand it. If you look at the majority of wrestlers bodies from teh early 80s and before, they were much more realistic(which is not to say that there wasn't juicing, there has been roids in wrestling since the 60s, it just wasn't as prevelant). People wouldn't watch wrestling these days if guys had normal bodies. We are used to the roids, so it will be there for the rest of time in wrestling

You know, when I read "juicing" in reference to wrestling, I still think of blading (cutting your forehead with a razor blade.) My post makes no sense with respect to steroids. They probably killed Eddie Guererro. I was not saying that steroids are like a papercut. Juicing used to mean blading.
