I can’t say I’ve ever heard anything about Rick Martel in regards to hard partying or drug use. Not to meantion, he always looked like he was fresh out of the shower so I’ll throw him a nod.

Unrelated to the topic at hand, but the title reminded me of a wrestling story here from Portugal.
So, a few years ago (I wanna say 10 or so) there was this tag match between 2 guys who I can't recall the name of against another one guy I don't recall the name of teaming up with a wrestler named Danny Hell. So, the guys were in the locker room before the show started but it all was... quiet. On the one hand you had the other team already geared up just chit chatting between them and on the other you had the one guy already geared up and Danny Hell... who was taping his kickpads and, as I was told, doing a "tremendous job of tape wasting" (for the record, the guy didn't even have kicks in his moveset). At this point nothing about the match was discussed, I don't think the booker even had said who was going over. Tired of this "deafning silence" the one guy stands up and asks all three: "so... what do you guys wanna do in the match?". At this point the silence becomes even more deafning as Danny Hell stops taping his kickpads, looks upward to his tag partner and utters: "We fight clean". And then resumes taping.
I doubt the match is anywhere on tape, so I'll leave you guys with an old teaser with the guy in question:
EDIT: Hey, I wasted my 6666th post to talk about f'n Danny Hell. I should be proud!

Adding to the Lance Storm stories, he would bring his wife on the road with him, thinking he would get over as a clean family man, but it ended up hurting his autograph sales since it made female fans lose interest in him.

When would this have been? I had never heard this one before. I do remember him talking about his wife and Dawn Marie getting on well, and that there were never any jealousy problems there, when someone was asking about it.

When he was in Smokey Mountain Wrestling. Bringing your wife was a no no because it would turn off the rats and the normal female fans. Cornette asked Jericho to please sleep with some girls so they would come to the matches and bring more people with them, unfortunately for Corny, Jericho had standards and Lance was maried. That was the reason the Thrillseekers didn’t move merch lol.

It's part of why he slags off Steamboat's WCW run, that the family man stuff just kind of made Ricky look lamer than Ric.

Him disliking the family man version of Steamboat was more of Bonnie coming into the company and forcing the booking comitee to present her as the wcw version of Miss Elisabeth. Bonnie wasn’t liked backstage and Ric Flair had to fire her.

Jimmy Valiant told me that Killer Kowalski, Bruno and Nikolai were the wrestlers all the other wrestlers thought would each live to 100. All three were no drugs or alcohol.

One Man Gang, Tito Santana, George Steele, and Hilbilly Jim were probably the cleanest guys in WWF during the mid to late 80's when the drug-party scene was at it's peak. Everyone else was involved in something bad.

Martel was one of the wrestlers involved in the Dr. Zahorian trial where they all admitted to using steroids. I mean it was obvious just looking at him around the time of his heel turn when he became the Model, that he was clearly on the juice. For the most part he was pretty straight laced and definitely one of the "good guys" in the business back then but he wasn't completely clean.

Yeah, a lot of guys had brushes with steroids even if they didn't stay on them long. Lanny Poffo had a bit where he was talking about trying steroids, getting quick, huge returns on it and even guys like Warrior complimenting him, but that he pretty quickly realized he wanted no part of the risks and side effects, and went clean again.

Don't think anyone has said a bad word or had a bad opinion on Molly Holly.

Don't think anyone has said a bad word or had a bad opinion on Molly Holly. There WAS that immature and obsessed YouTube user, who I am sure also started that anti-Molly Holly website that called her a liar and a hypocrite, especially posting a picture of her wearing a button-down tied in a knot at the bottom and showing a little skin.

So are we drawing distention between those who are straight edge but are out cheating on their SO's and those who may have the occasional drink or smoke a joint from time to time but are completely loyal to their wives and children? Because if we are then Owen Hart has to be in this conversation.

Kowaski took it a step further, he was a vegetarian. That and good workout with cardio is probably why the f***er wrestled for a zillion years,
