I'm reading an article on steroid and drug use and I get it-it's a sad tale, and no one was trying to justify it, but reading what their jobs were really like, it seemed almost impossible to not get involved in something bad, and not just steroids.
Who, especially from the pre 1990s was regarded as a clean wrestler.
I'm pretty sure Bruno and Bob Backlund
Who else?

Gorilla Monsoon once said Iron Mike Sharpe got locked in an arena overnight after a show because he wanted to continue his shower, so I'll go with him.

Ricky Steamboat? Dude probably dabbled in roids(like everyone else in the 80s), but are there any bad stories out there?

From shoot interviews the One Man Gang/Akeem was straight Edge.

I know you said pre-90's, but Lance Storm is a saint in that regard.
His career technically started in the 80's, so did Mick Foley ever do any hard drugs/steroids?

Lance Storm immediately comes to mind, with him boasting in ECW that he had the best body you could get with a negative drug test. I know you said pre-90's, but Lance Storm is a saint in that regard. His career technically started in the 80's, so did Mick Foley ever do any hard drugs/steroids? Steroids, no. He tried some supplements, I forget which, but Colette tossed them since I think they were pretty dodgy. That's the closest I've heard of him doing anything like that. As for the rest, he's used pain pills as directed, but no hard drugs, and he wasn't much of a drinker, outside of early in his career when he got plastered a bunch in Nigeria, because it was Nigeria.  |

I remember Cornette saying Sharpe would show up hours early and be let into the arena, where he'd run around the building, take a shower, prep for his match, take a shower, have his match, take a shower, etc. You know you're kind of a weird man when even among wrestlers, you're the strange guy. |

Lance Storm is so clean the only time he ever got drunk was when Tenyru basically forced him to drink after a show in Japan

Not the intent of this thread, but I've heard from friends who have worked with him that Johnny Swinger is a pretty severe germaphobe, so him, probably.

So that's what happened to Iron Mike Sharp, rusted solid after one too many showers |

Come to think of it, considering his wrestling style in the 90s, how did Foley avoid getting addicted to pain killers? By not taking them in overabundance, and if the prescribed dosage wasn't enough, rather than taking more/something else to deal with the pain he just endured it? |

Didn't someone have a story about watching him rub an entire stick of deodorant under one arm? Yeah, Hogan once said in an interview that Sharpe would just keep applying underarm deodorant while having conversations in the locker room. If he used it all, he would just go into his bag, grab another one, and continue. |

I was going to make a joke about Chris Brookes and how he loves his Lush Bath Bombs, but that's not the right type of "clean"...

"Iron Mike Sharpe once installed a shower in an office wall during our conversation just so he could use it, dude." |
