WWE News: The Rock talks about WWE and steroids, his steroid use, Benoit in college Aug 31, 2007 - 10:48:00 PM
Duane "The Rock" Johnson was interviewed by FoxSports.com about WWE's suspensions in an article published tonight. The following are key excerpts:
--On steroid issues in WWE: "Clearly, there has to be an aggressive educational program put in place. These guys have to be armed with the knowledge and understanding of how bad these drugs are and the dangers of mixing these drugs with the lifestyles they lead."
--Regarding Chris Benoit: "I was blown away. I had a chance to work with Chris on many occasions. He was a great guy and I knew his wife very well. The guy I knew wasn't the guy who committed these heinous crimes. I've stopped trying to figure it out because Chris had wiring that allowed him to do that where anybody who was sane couldn't fathom doing that."
--Rock on using steroids briefly in college: "I always joke about it because nothing happened. I had no idea what I was doing. I was probably taking Advil or something like it because it seemed like there were no changes. I didn't understand what it was all about and that UM had drug testing all the time. When I got in the wrestling business, I never cared about being the biggest guy. I just wanted to be the most entertaining."
--On wrestling surviving without roids: "I always tell guys I know that want to get into pro wrestling to make a box with their hand and put it around their face. I tell them, 'This is where you're going to make your money in wrestling. You should take care of yourself and your body but you're not going to make money with only your biceps.'"
