1. Bret Hart Talks About Being Surpised By Roman Reigns’ Suspension, Possible Use of Steroids & More
During the latest episode of the Sharpshooter Podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bret “Hitman” Hart talked about being shocked by the news of Roman Reigns’ suspension. Bret talked about the possible use of steroids and noted that he doesn’t know if the suspension was due to that but notes that Reigns doesn’t need that. Bret also noted that there’s no place for such stuff in Pro Wrestling (even though Bret revealed in his book that he was on steroids during his whole wrestling career).
Below is what he said about the Reigns getting suspended and the WWE Wellness Policy:
“I am surprised. I was kind of hoping he could somehow make a good run at being champion. I think in a lot of ways he never got the fair shake that he deserved. Failing the wellness policy could be a number of things. If it was for steroids or something like that… muscle enhancement, or whatever you want to call it. If it was that category or not. I don’t think he needed it, for one. It is what it is as a policy. I’m all behind the policy. There doesn’t need to be any of that in wrestling. I don’t know if there is a double standard where some guys are allowed to take certain things and some guys aren’t. There’s sort of a thin line between being found guilty and being found innocent. I have no idea. As far as I know the drug policy in WWE is pretty legit.
As far as I know, unless someone tells me otherwise, everybody is tested. You have to know you’re going to get tested so what are you ever going to get dirty for? It turns out you get tested and it’s steroids or let’s say it’s something as minuscule as having a toke on a joint at a birthday party. It could be something really small or insignificant. The fact that they sacked him over it is kind of a shock to me. The rules are what they are. In the 90s when I was champion and they started a very serious drug policy. Everybody had to comply. Including Lex Luger and the bodybuilders. They had to comply to it. It was the same thing. You just can’t take any chances. Where it is today and how intense it is. I know that drug test is pretty intense. They test you for everything from pills to… just about everything.”
