Why are so many people bashing Rey Mysterio and still bashing Jeff Hardy today for getting busted for drugs or steroids/HGH, yet some of the biggest legends in wrestling history, get a free pass for using drugs, steroids and HGH?

dude has a badass voice, imagine him doing some death metal vox, ish would be so brutal. on the real, i totally agree with him on all points. i have 20 year old Muscle Mag's and it's sick to see what was going on back then.

Eddie Guerrero went sober and drug free for 4 years straight.....??? sooo hmm and he died of pain killer & Alcohol overdoes I believe

If you think people bash because wwe is of now and "Superstars" are being pushed as role models and this happens

what really gets me is how most pro wrestlers are treated like day laborers... it's like the old circus days, but without feeling like part of the family. that's not to excuse bad behavior, but at least it's understandable why so many get into drug abuse. what the companies need to do is clean up the atmosphere that fosters that kind of abuse in the first place. if they don't self regulate they need to be regulated (even if it's not a legit sport)

[XSC3]

I'm guessing the primary reason people come down harder on somebody like Mysterio is because of his family friendly image. he's seen as more a role model for kids, so anything he does wrong will be judged more harshly. I understand there's enormous pressure in the wrestling industry to use drugs, both to enhance their image, performance, to deal with pain from injuries, as well as the "rockstar party" atmosphere of peer pressure. so while it's hard on the talent its for their own good in the end

[XSC3]

steroid use in the US wasn't illegal in the 70's. that doesn't mean it was a good idea, but there's that issue. one might argue that after all the deaths and negative publicity that the guys today "should know better." on the other hand, it does seem like people get bashed simply for getting caught, and yes, people will always treat celebrities or figures they like in a more forgiving way than those they don't.
