      @SovereignStatesman 9 років тому +7

      prototype9000 He's not a wrestler per se, he was a college graduate with 2 degrees who got into wrestling because he liked it, even though he had to train on a farm and drink water from a trough with horses and livestock. The guys who do it for the money are just whores who either quit in 2 years or lie their asses off like Hogan.

      Future man here. During 2018 at WWE's joint PPV with the Kindom of Saudi Arabia hosted Crown Jewel at which Triple H tore his left Pectoral muscle right off during his and HBK's match with The Undertaker and Kane. Triple H = Steriods

    Steroids don't automatically create Ultimate Warrior-like physiques, so if you're disbelieving because he wasn't a monster muscle head, you have to look at it differently.... take a SERIOUS look at HTM in WWF, versus his early times in CWA/Mid-South, and just in general, he was in fantastic shape. It's hard to see that when you're comparing his body to Hulk Hogan's.

  • @TheNotbadphonedaddy
    @TheNotbadphonedaddy 2 роки тому +12

    I had a talk with another professional wrestler and this is what he had to say about steroids....
    There were wrestlers who worked out like crazy that were on steroids.
    There were wrestlers who worked out like crazy that were not on steroids
    There were wrestlers that didn't work out at all, but still took steroids
    There were wrestlers that didn't work out at all, and didn't take steroids
    If honky was taking steroids, and he was working out, like he claims an interviews.... Has to be the most unlucky person in the world when it comes to getting definition

    • @Lysimachus
      @Lysimachus 2 роки тому +3

      He says in his Hannibal TV shoot that he "enjoyed that I didn't have to work out quite as hard to get better results", so he's somewhere close to the third category.

    • @billj4525
      @billj4525 Рік тому +2

      Yeah, he wasn't big or ripped. It's genetics though. There's a lot guys at the gym who take steroids and you can barely tell they lift, and others who take them and look like freaks, which is where good and bad genetics come in.

  • @CarltonGLong

    Great piece. It is refreshing to see HTM speaking in a normal voice and actually passing on information as opposed to trying to cut a new promo.

    Appreciate the honest and humanizing demeanor of the Honky Tonk Man here who by the way after admitting to all that is still alive and looks healthy and happy considering. He still has that charisma and should have tried acting if he hasn't already. Definitely a wrestling legend and party entertainer. I would love to listen to this guy tell old war stories by a camp fire at a barbecue man, such a great story teller and brings alot of experience to the table 🤙🏼♥️

  • @asoncalledvoonch2210

    HTM is 1 of those people that would give you extremely valuable advice on any subject and he would probably be happy to tell you.
    Most wise people today don't get to give advice because my generation think we know everything.
    We don't.
    And I sure as hell don't.
    Wayne Ferris (HTM) is a decent old guy.

    The heart DOES respond to steroids, it also makes it expire faster. That's why men die 7 years faster on average than women, and people on steroids in about half the time.

  • @robertbishop5357
    @robertbishop5357 6 років тому +3

    I used to out lift guys that were on steroids. Never took them because I saw how they affected those who took them. A big problem with steroids is that it causes the belly of the muscle to get far stronger at a faster rate then the tendons and ligaments that connect the muscle to bone. As such it's much easier to get a complete tear off of the bone. Wrestlers dying at a young age because of how all the drugs and steroids adversly affect the heart muscle and other organs.

    @mr.x9566 3 роки тому

    For those that say " you couldn't tell he was on steroids". If you know what you're looking for, you CAN tell.
    I've spent enough time in and around gyms over the past 16yrs with dietitians, weight lifters and internationally competitive bodybuilders. Multiple family members of mine have used steroids (two died from heart attacks; enlarged hearts) - both were honest about their use.
    One of them (my cousin) would ask "Can you come into the toilets and shoot me up". That gym had signs up asking members not to leave their used needles lying around. A friend of mine (a very soft looking, chubby man - also on steroids - was his training partner), would always end up injecting him.

    I have had friends on steroids and have friends that currently use them.
    One of them (who's honest about his use), looks like a stereotypical fast food, beer bellied, over weight guy with no muscular development at all. He has gangly arms and legs, he lifts well below average for his gender and weight.
    He has a moon-face, a constantly rock hard bloated stomach; (water retention) and a muscle tear in his shoulder that he has attributed to his years of steroid use.
    Steroids doesn't necessarily equate to big & ripped or big OR ripped.
    Honky was probably using steroids regularly (from what is an educated guess) around the back-end of his run in The Blonde Bombers up until mid-late1989. He looked like he'd have utilized compound lifts.

      According to Bret Hart, Davey Boy was awake for 72 hours straight from smoking crack before they had their Summerslam 1992 match, so he basically had to carry him through that entire match. It’s another reason why that’s one of the greatest matches in WWE history when you take that into consideration
