just posted it on my face book page. People need to be informed about how much hype is involved

We're being spoon fed a mound of crap every single day .
lies, lies the perpetual lies....

sad but true

John Stossel is one of my favorites, the most objective as far as news reporting goes.

you hate him because of that?

John had the last laugh, that wrestler was fired and John sued him.

Really good article, it definitely challenges a lot of misconceptions and general fear of the unknown. It's a witch hunt plain and simple.

The steroid debate is more about lost government dollars but it's masked by all these claims of death. People overdo aspirin, allergy and cough medicine all the time.

Isn't liver toxicity and cholesterol a bigger concern? Hell accutane can cause liver tox and that widely prescribed by dermatologists

No. Stossel came off as being smug-and I hate smugness. I also saw that when it came out originally (signs of age showing). I was a HUGE Hulk Hogan fan back in the day.

All he was doing in that interview is repeating what another pro wrestler had told him in a previous interview, he was not trying to insult wrestling.

I think he produces very objective and well researched shows and articles.

juggernaut · 05-07-2009, 03:59 PM

I'm not doubting his journalistic gift. He does espouse on very interesting topics and it is intriguing what he has brought to the table on 20/20.
I just thought it was a dicky move to question a professional wrestler about how it was fake and this poor shlub takes a beating. Ever see the Wrestler with Mickey Rourke?

That being said, I liked his latest report.

**Prince** · 05-07-2009, 04:19 PM

fake is probably not the best choice of words as wrestlers most definitely take some beatings and endure pain and injuries.

juggernaut · 05-07-2009, 04:41 PM

Exactly. Again try watching the movie The Wrestler. Its really fucked up what these guys go through.

**Prince** · 05-07-2009, 07:22 PM

juggernaut · 05-07-2009, 09:17 PM
