Inside Edition - WWF Steroids 1991 

Ahhh TV without twitter... the days...

"Everybody's on steroids" -nate diaz

steroids are as American as ApplePie

Most wrestlers from WWF used steroids back then. It's not a shocker to find this out now

"only people that don't pass are people they want to get rid of" that applies to almost every sport nowadays

Baseball players and football players were just as juiced up as wrestlers back then.

And this was why Vince stood up in the 80's/90's and said we're 'not wrestling, we're sports entertainment!' so he could get out of his employees being drug tested by outsiders that he couldn't control. It even came out leading up to a wrestlemania a couple of years ago a couple of wrestlers failed the drug test but because they were within the big matches of the card their failed test results were filed somewhere never to be found again. Lance Storm even said that was why he was dropped by WWE because he would doing any of the enhancing drugs

Steiner and Graham look so much alike.

Fun Fact: George Zahorian still practices medicine in Central PA. It looks like he was able to keep his license after his conviction.

6:10 might be the most true statement about WWE ever said and it's still 100% true today.

0:17 but we all found out that that doesn't work for you brother

look at how much Hulk slimmed down in 93'

Omg so shocking that hulk gd hogan used steroids.

1991 it's 2016 and people still think they can grow that big

Bill O Reilly is off tonight; Thank God

He doesn't owe anybody anything!!! He's a performer. He! Performed! WE Loved it! Life goes on. It's a smear campaign now. That's why we are hearing this. Otherwise it would still be on the back shelf. Same thing with football players. When they want you out they smear you first.

Billy Graham: goes around schools warning against steroids and how they can fuck you up mentally and physically Also Billy Graham: *urges modern day wrestlers to abuse steroids*

I find it interesting that both Savage and Warrior have died from heart related issues (likely stemming from steroid abuse)...and yet Hogan is still around well into his 60s.

Just like Chris Benoit, the WWE rarely talks about this topic

Story starts at 2:11. You'd think Inside Edition was an amateur RU-vid videomaker with their long ass intros.

Hogan did have legit 24" biceps during the 80s, the reason why he was given the name "Hulk" was because he was much larger then the actor from the Incredible Hulk series.

Yep. I found it odd they spelled his name `Shults` and not the more common `Shutlz` though...

Well he didn't lie, you can be a great athlete with vitamins and prayers... but you most likely will not be 300 lbs at 8 percent body fat. lol. I mean they all use steroids everyone knows that already.

Even if you use steroids, you still have to workout and train. It's not like the super soldier serum that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America. I'm not defending Hulk Hogan. I'm just saying that Hogan made the WWF/ WWE, way before Stone Cold, The Rock, Triple H, Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, and John Cena. There was no way that Hogan could have body slammed the 550 pound Andre the Giant without the help of steroids. It's the same thing with baseball. Fans cheered for Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and A-Rod when they were hitting home runs. Now, the same fans want to criticize them for cheating. You can't have your cake and eat it.

Reporters of the inside edition will never let anyone go up, they will always pull down people going up the ladder of success. They feel envious when others grow in life. They do many things to ensure that their growth is not smooth. Hogan was larger then life , he reached out to millions in despair through his american spirit of happiness and hope which of course is no where to be seen in the world of today. Bless you always Hogan , hulk-a-maniac for life.

LOL the opening newsroom sequence is hilarious in this context. Stop the presses, Hulk Hogan doesn't have a natural physique!

this just goes to show you how the media tears down professional wrestling. I also want to say that I do admit that wrestling is predetermined, but the wrestler's do get hurt. It's better then some of these soaps operas I have seen in my life time.

Shultz is perfectly reasonable here.

If the hulkster says he didn't juice, I believe him. Lol

And Graham wonders why Hulk throws shade...

who cares if they take steroids. they dont compete on a basis that they are all clean. in fact they dont compete at all. they are talented stuntmen and thats it. I think its good if hulk tells kids to eat well and take vitamins, I mean what should he tell them!!! If a kid grows up and wants to be a wrestler on steroids then thats his business when he's an adult. compared to all the cyclists these guys are like saints!

Hulk is the man no matter what haters say.

i don't feel betrayed. Only reason they have to lie is because it is illegal. Hulk Hogan is still my favorite wrestler of all time.

The longest intro television has everrrrr seen

that intro is so late 80s early 90s...

Why the testimonials of Superstar Billy Graham and The Ultimate Warrior against Vince McMahon failed but the Hulk Hogan's testimonial against Vince McMahon prevailed not to put him in jail but to save him? That is the question!

There's one rule in the entertainment industry. Don't get caught. Hogan got caught.

Graham and Schultz made out that they were getting the truth out there for the kids but it was all down tio jealousy. Even when Hogan was found to have used steroids (like every single other wrestler of that era) he was still over for years.

Hulk Hogan was one of the biggest users of steroids in wrestling history.

Inside edition breaking news. Water is wet.

LOL "Hollywood Huckster" followed by Hogan's mug at 1:50. This was 5 years before the Billionaire Ted skits and Hollywood Hogan.

The hulkster would never use steroids he just eats his vitamins brother

"BIll O'Reilly is away on assignment." THANK GOD

The media design of this news station is hilarious

Thanks for shedding light on the truth now me and all my friends can start using steroids!! Just an example of what would happen if he did come clean!

I like what Dave Shultz said, as a kid I didn't look up to my dad, or other regular men, these guys were like super heroes to me. They were superhuman in size anyways, and now we know why. As an adult I realize you can never attain the muscles of these guys without PED's. After we gained more knowledge, the shift in wrestling changed from muscle guys to smaller more athletic guys that looked more normal.

There are still some in WWE that use steroids. Look at Lesnar. The reason they can avoid the wellness policy is because they r signed as part timers. That is the loophole these days around the test.

To be honest WWF woud suck without steroids.They woud all have Ted DiBiases physique.

Is this Why Vince had a problem with Hogan due to him testifying against him?

Those failures really tried to ruin his career in 1991

Take *any* field of human development you want (sports, art, etc) and then try to understand the difference between an amateur and a pro. You'll see that what's sets them apart is the level of development each is set to achieve! A professional must attain a much bigger and better state of perfection at what he does, and for that to be possible there are extra costs (comes with the territory and it's the only way, but the fact they are willing to do it is, IMO, proof of honor and *not* of shame). Now, in sports that cost is an "unhealthy" extra mile to be run that amateurs need no to put in, and it comes in many forms... Do you think the training regime of a professional can be considered "healthy"? Exacerbated effort, too many hours of non-stop workout, muscle fatigue and cardiovascular abuse, you name it. If you asked an ordinary man to mimic such training he would die of exhaustion or his heart would burst. But we accept it, because we know that it's the cost a professional must pay to push his limit, to break that next world record, to perform always a little better and keep giving the viewers a reason to fill stadiums or gather around the TV. Pressure commands it! But then, for some reason, people just seem to not understand that steroid use is simply another cost, not any different (or dangerous) than the monstruous work-out rigors they go through. If an athlete dies of exhaustion by the marathon end line (like it has happened) the public claps and he's a hero, if another admits he used steroids they boo him and he's a loser... Where's the logic in that? Both took risks for the sport they love, to be able to add that little extra bit of performance and give the world entertainment and awe. I see no difference.

lol the news music is so funny

There are only two things wrong here.... 1. Hulk lied about his use when asked directly. 2. The other wrestlers came out and did this.

If there weren't so many intros the video would go for like four minutes..

30 years later and nothings changed.

I was a collegiate athlete who took steroids because I got tired of being in excruciating pain every single day. I took a small amount of deca and a pro-hormone. Today, in my 30’s I am in great health and can still workout hard and enjoy life. I am fitter than most 20 year olds. My teammate (close friend of mine) who didn’t take steroids and listened to his doctor, completely destroyed his kidneys with NSAID’s. He was a great athlete and otherwise would be in great health, but due to taking the “safer route” smh…he now will eventually need a kidney transplant and it is likely he will have to have limbs amputated in the future as his kidney function continues to deteriorate with time. I’m not saying that anabolic steroids are completely risk free, but when taken in a responsible manner as opposed to abusing them they are a safe drug. Weak people want others to be weak. Our culture loves to see others fail. That’s why we tolerate widespread opiate addiction because we love to see others fail. Steroids make people insecure because they make people strong, and there’s nobody that everyone loves to hate more than a winner. Trust me I know.

You mean you don't get 24-inch pythons naturally?

When I saw this special report, my Dad said that the Wrestling company was gonna release Hulk Hogan and every other wrestler that had the drug was gonna be released and the future wrestlers were gonna be smaller and more natural bodybuilders. When I found out Hulk Hogan was gonna be released, I was sad that he got released. But happy that he went on to the WCW to continue to be a Wrestler.

I think there are enough and more documentaries about that.

tquest1 In The 90's Undertaker Wasn't Even On Steroids

Andre, Bundy, Slaughter...also, the war on drugs should be called off and ALL drugs should be legalized.

I took my vitamins everyday brother and never got as big as HH, maybe he had the name brand vitamins !!!

Dave Schultz looks like Jeff Jarrett

Its weird watching david act normally

Roids (80s) or no roids (90s)... Hogan was a legends for years.. and ppl will always love him. Looking forward to him in WWE in 2014

WWE Raw fears TV ratings.

Notice hogan said he didnt abuse steroids maybe in his mind his use wasnt abuse

It's only now that Hogan tells about his life of steroid abuse, drug use etc; mainly because he's made his millions and doesn't have to worry about where his next meal comes from. Back in the 70s, 80, and even the 90s everybody toted the line. Everybody claimed to be "clean 'n' sober" and if you even *thought* about admitting to juicing, it would be the end of your career. Now it's so out there and known, they don't even try to hide it. -John Cena's a walking advertisement for HGH. -Lesner's pretty much a "shaved ape". Don't even get me started on Triple H.

@ 5:16 Linda Bollea name popped up on that list more than Hulks name! I wonder what she could've been getting?

America you believe in freedom right? Then who goves a shit what entertainers inject themselves with??

Woman bust's through door. (90's suspense intensifies)

One of these little dudes who's been training, saying his prayers, and eatin his vitamins is gonna take me out one day-- I always remembered these words and wondered as a kid who it would be. Turns out, Hogan took himself out. Sad. But when you think who Hogan was referring to... Rock? Cena (took his role)? Lesnar (figuratively)?

Mr.Cox with the news story.

I kind of miss those days when shows like this really thought they were on to something letting people know wrestling "is fake" and these jacked up guys take roids.

ah yes, late 80's early 90's with its cheesy synthesizer sounds

Dave Schults walking with pet bears at 6:14??

The prayers the vitamins the training,hey vince pass me that needle brother,

I think Cena takes them too. I don't like Cena, but I have to admit that Cena has great muscle mass.

There was a time when anabolic steroids were LEGAL. Let that sink in.

all these guys used roids. wrestling and roids have always gone hand in hand. even before hogans time.

6:10 WORDS OF FUCKING GOD DAMN WISDOM

HULK HOGAN was the best not cause of steroids. He was the best because of his personality/ his character was very marketable. If you bring in the Cash and traffic they will put you and keep you in the spot light.

did bodybuilding not exist at this time, they was clearly on steroids and even Arnold himself, and he's a legend, I guess he never lied about it either

i love it when they say steroids are "dangerous"

this will be featured in dark side of the ring

So he took roids? His choice. Its sports entertainment not real competition

1:53 for what you came to see

Well to be fair Hogan, on Arsenio, said he didn't abuse steroids and wasn't on them. Abuse means taking them unsafely (many people take steroids very safely). When he says he wasn't on steroids, that may have been true at the time of the interview. He never stated that he hever used steroids at any time. At Vince McMahon's trial he did admit to past use of steroids. It's hard to consider ex-wrestlers reliable because so many of them are so bitter towards guys who did better than they did.

Hulk Hogan does not take steroids. Steroids take Hulk Hogan.

does a bear shit in the woods ?

0:40 that women is so beautiful.

I wonder if John Cena has seen this video?

What I don't get is why these wrestlers wanted to throw Hogan under the bus? Jealousy and money ? Perhaps..

Is this really front page news?

who would be stupid enough to think wrestlers dont take drugs

How times have changed. They were on the WWF's case when they were sports entertainment (just like the NFL). I remember when juicing was frowned upon, now our superstars in the nfl and nba are encouraged and protected in the name of a profit.

6:09 is it me or is Dave Shults walking around with a bunch of black bears??

Dave Shultz is full of it.

Hulk doesn't owe anyone shit. Who gives a fuck that he did? I grew up in that Hulkamania era in the 80s and when Billy Graham and Schultz were still going strong. Graham and Schultz have always been jealous of Hogan, Just like Jesse Ventura. Schultz is just mad because he was fired early on and never was a star, Graham is mad because Hulk took his style and took it to another level that to this day is unparalleled. He's been trying to get the company in trouble for years. What's amazing and sad at the same time is that they're saying Hulk abused more steroids than any wrestler, yet the majority of the wrestlers from all the promotions over the last 3 decades are dead now from steroid abuse, or complications from that, and Hulk is alive and well and outlived them, no disrespect to the dead because I loved them all, just speaking the truth.

Exactly. Thousands of people die everyday from smoking yet its perfectly legal. No one has ever died from taking steroids. Ever. Billy Graham's own doctors said steroids had nothing to do with his condition.
