10 Wrestlers Who Admitted Their Physiques Were Drug Enhanced Bull$hit

9. Dynamite Kid

How do we know? His book, Pure Dynamite. Dynamite Kid was one of the most physically gifted performers in wrestling history. A brilliant high flyer and technical wrestler, he was hugely influential in a number of ways. His series in New Japan Pro Wrestling was the first major junior heavyweight feud that American fans really got into via the trading of videotapes, serving as a gateway to Japanese wrestling. When he came to North America, it was via Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling in Calgary, where he was a big part of the development of Bret Hart into a great wrestler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzOhVoPUaW4 When Dynamite left England for Canada, he was quite literally a skinny teenager. A great athlete, of course, but absent any of the protection of England's weight classes, he looked incredibly tiny. He quickly wowed crowds and got over anyway, but it wasn't long before he started getting steroids from an athletic commission doctor. Within a few years, he looked like he was a completely different human being. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h2L4nKReZY He gained an absurd amount of muscle that just didn't belong on his body. That much added unnatural weight is stress on your body even if it's muscle and not fat, and when you throw in a reckless in-ring style, it took a tremendous toll on him in terms of injuries. He got off steroids due to a heart condition, but that was after he had already destroyed his back, eventually costing him the use of his legs.
