– During a recent edition of his Tuesday with The Taskmaster podcast, former WCW wrestler and booker Kevin Sullivan discussed how wrestler wellness has improved compared to his generation. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Kevin Sullivan on how wrestlers now are looking after themselves more: “It’s because they’re not driving three thousand miles a week. I don’t think that sitting in cars that long – where do you get the energy to work out and watch what you’re eating? These young guys have learned a lesson from the guys of my generation.”
On wrestlers using supplements instead of steroids: “[Wrestlers today] got great supplements and they’re not using the steroids. I’m a believer that – I never used to think this way when I was taking them – but steroids cause a lot of problems later in life.”
On how rampant steroid use was earlier on: “I’m not going to mention his name, but he’s a huge guy from the WWE. He was a big name, he was in a tag team. I saw him take 9cc’s right off the bat. I think there was three needles with 3cc’s each. That can’t be good for you? Back then, If 1cc was the recommended dosage a week, people were taking five.”
