I know there have been a ton of threads like this in the past, but I just had a sudden spark of interest about this topic.
So who are some wrestlers who you believe have never taken steroids? Also who is the most naturally built wrestler never to take steroids?
Lance Storm I can believe was never on the juice and he had a pretty good build. Also, I have heard that Brock Lesnar is all natural, but I have some strong doubts.

CM Punk one would assume.
Other assumptions would be ones that weren't 'ripped' (such as Delaney, Gowan etc). I also have a feeling that Jericho hasn't

As for Jericho in his book, he jokingly mentions that he bought what he thought were steroids, but IIRC it turned out to be something else. Anyway, I think the story was just for laughs rather than citing past steroid use. |

I'd wager most if not all have taken them at one time or another for disease or injury. Wondering about PEDs is the real question.

Barry Horowitz was always in good shape, not a behemoth or anything but even into his forties he was still very fit. I'm pretty sure he's all natural.

I'd there is about a 0% chance that anyone who wrestled between 1950-1990 weren't on some kind of steroid at some point. What I think many people forget is that steroids weren't illegal, and really didn't even have a negative stigma until the mid late 80's. Back then nobody knew the health risk, and if you were a wrestler in the 70's it it would almost seem stupid not to take a magical drug that can help build muscle, and speed up the healing process.
As for guys who have never been on steroids. There is really no way to tell. It always cracks me up when people think they can pick out steroid users based on looks. In reality a guy who looks like Soma Joe is just as likely to be using as a guy who looks like Billy Gunn. Heck I wouldn't even be surprised if Shark Boy and Spike Dudley have used at some point in their life.

Heck I wouldn't even be surprised if Shark Boy and Spike Dudley have used at some point in their life. Yeah I totally get the Shark Boy/Spike Dudley thing you mentioned. This thread is pretty much either just guessing or taking an athlete at their word (for instance both wrestlers I pointed out Lance Storm and Brock Lesnar have claimed never to have used steroids and never to the best of my knowledge failed a drug test, making at least some argument that they have not been users). Also, I'll throw in going back to the Shark Boy/Spike Dudley note of people you wouldn't have thought used steroids, Christian once appeared on TSN with Edge on some news show that often interviewed wrestlers (forget the name at the moment). The issue of steroids came up, which Edge once again stated that he had previously used steroids. When the host asked Christian if he ever used steroids, Christian dodged the question by jokingly acting like he couldn't hear him until they went to commercial break. Not saying Christian ever took them, but it does make you think. |

Yeah, if Funaki can get busted, I wouldn't say certain guys are less likely than others.
The only three I would put money on are Punk (because of his lifestyle), Storm (maybe the mark in me but, I don't think he has drastically changed and, I believe him) and Brock (rigorous testing in MMA and I think NCAAs all clean).
