The way I see it, does it matter if The Rock or anyone else is on steroids. WWE is not a legitimate sport. Performance enhancing drugs are made to enhance PERFORMANCE. If pro wrestling was real combat and PEDs were disallowed to prevent competitors from having an unfair advantage over others, then this would be an issue. Imo, the fact that wrestling is "fake" makes it unnecessary. Maybe some use steroids, maybe they don't, but in a professional wrestling context, where results are predetermined, it shouldn't matter.

Yeah, I agree. The most that can be said is that it would violate their testing policy, which now THAT would really suck. But part-time talents aren't tested at all(if I remember correctly) so it doesn't matter.

No way guys he''s TOTALLY clean and natural. I mean check him out compared to other natural bodies: So obvious that he's clean. I mean, he looks more like those guys than The Warlord, that's for sure. Totally. I love when people use this argument despite Funaki having a suspension for roids. Ziggler has been Wellnessed as well, maybe a month into his run as Dolph.

The same way the Christian Bale can get up to 220 lbs of solid muscle to play Batman, a regimented schedule of diet and working out with a personal trainer, being off the road helps as well.
Rocky is a naturally big dude, it's not a stretch to think that with the proper regimen he can look as he does now. I have no idea if he's clean but it is more possible than a lot of people realize.

Lest we forget, Rock is 6'5. Everything about him is f***ing huge already.

The Rock does actually wake up at about 3 or 4 in the morning every day to work out though

There's a reason why most pro bodybuilders are under 6'. I was watching Rock vs Shane O'Mac in a cage match the RAW after Backlash 2000 earlier. One thing I noticed is that Rock had a lot more fat on him back then but his upper back was still huge. Someone mentioned it earlier about it being a sign, but even when he clearly wasn't on anything he still had a massive upper back. I think he may have dabbled here and there for movie roles, but I don't think he does much. Most of that is natural.

NOTE: If the best you can do is come into a thread and flame people because they don't share your views, DON'T POST.

It does appear he's on 'something' just given his age etc. that has already been discussed
He might not be as hr is a workout fiend now as well; I mean look at his Disney stint where he looked downright scrawny compared to now.
Either way, I don't care.
I do remember seeing his H'ween pic as the Hulk and thinkin "holy shit he got huge!"

I saw that trailer for the movie with Mark Walberg, and definitely thought he was looking roided up. He didn't look quite as humongous on TV Monday night, but he was wearing a shirt.

Not sure if serious... ...You do realize that's a bad example to give, yeah? Bale's openly admitted to taking substances to give him an extra boost to build that mass. He specifically said he used alot during Begins' filming, which is probably the most obvious of the three to see it in. Looking the most bloated he's probably looked during the three movies in that one. Also, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it or it's bad. Rock's likely taking things that are perfectly legal. I'm just saying, there's genetics, and then there's what's going on with The Rock's body.

I agree and disagree with this point. I think it was stupid that the congress attacked professional wrestling before the NFL and MLB, which clearly had rampant steriod use throughout the 80s and probably the 70s as well. Unfortunately it was more obvious in a show where people wear little more than underwear and more questions were asked, especially with guys like Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior. However, with all of the deaths in wrestler over the years, especially in the last 20, this needed to happen. Too many wrestlers were dying way too young and I am sure steriods had their play in it, along with recreational drug use. But as far as the Rock is concerned, he barely works for the company. Steriod/HGH use is very common in hollywood, so it wouldn't surprise me if he used. It would actually suprise me more if he did that without some form of added testosterone.

I made a joke topic immediately following RAW about the Rock on roids. He's definitely juicing but it ain't about WWE any more. He's gotta have this look to secure these summer blockbuster movie roles he goes after. Sly Stallone juices, he openly admitted to it right before the latest Rambo came out. Vince ain't gonna make the Rock take the wellness test because Rock isn't a full time wrestler and he makes Vince a boatload of money in a short time frame. Chances of the Rock dying of a heart attack from roids in his 2 month stint are extremely low. He's only gonna wrestle twice. Most if not all of ur favorite action stars are on something and so is the Rock.

He's probably on some "suppliment" or other, but here's one for you to remember.
Not only does the roster have to deal with wellness, the roster is damn small. That shot they took with Rock and Punk, they did with Rock and Cena, it's designed to make Rock not look a ton bigger than the other guy.
And in the shot, I don't feel that Punk looked that much smaller than Cena.
Cena's small too, he's just jacked, and they book Cena as superman. So while there were big guys all over the place 10 years ago, the roster is full of munchkins now and guys who have a really slim look.

I met the guy face to face and he's an action figure come to life.
