Now talking about me is an open book and you can ask anything you wish. So I will answer your question with all honesty.
The easy question 1st: DID I SELL TO WWE wrestlers.
Answer: Yes. I sold to WWE and the old NWA federation which became the WCW. To pinpoint the timeframe: Prominent members of the NWA were: Lex Lugar, Sting, Rick Flair, Arn Anderson, Chris Benoit. and my favorite tag team the Road Warriors (whom I was very good friends with). It was between the years, 1983 and 1988 that I delt with supplying some of them. (I am not saying I supplied any of the above persons. I'm just named guys in the NWO because alot of people may not remember that federation.
Why did I stop steroids:
A: Because I was not a Steroid user, I was a Steroid Abuser. The stacks of drugs I used was enormous to say the least. They had a very bad effect on my personality. I had very bad cases of Roid Rage for example. I was mean and very nasty to say the least. On the physical aspect of my usage, I remember every time I went PEE, it felt like I was pissing napalm. I used to dread going to the bathroom it hurt so bad. I had periods of very bad acne on my back but luckily a doctor hooked me up for that side effect with medication of some sort which cleared it up. On the Legal aspect: During that time frame I used to instruct Martial Arts to the FBI Special Agents (Organized Crime Unit) from the Newark, NJ Field Office and several New Jersey State Police Barracks including several other Local Law enforcement agencies(City and Township). Steroids became a Federal offense during that time and I was advised to give them up partially for that reason. As did every cop I knew on juice at the time. I also saw some bad things happen to a few friends of mine. One guy needed surgery on his ass to remove some huge infection or something like that. He had a huge mass of meat taken off his butt. (nasty), Another friend when he came off the stuff went so far into depression that he almost committed suicide. I myself would have serious bouts with depression when I came off a cycle.
In short I weighed all the positives and all the negatives. In short I concluded that I didn't need them anymore, my goals were never to compete at a professional level so why was I taking them? My reasons for taking them were all ego related. I loved being able to incline bench over 400 for reps and around 500 for reps. I loved the attention I received when I got on the squat bar or anything that I pushed tremendous amounts of weight. I loved the looks I received from strangers ouside the bodybuilding community and the "ewwwww your gross" comments from some females. I ate all that shit up but it wasn't worth dying over. And to be honest, when I was at my biggest 270 with a 33 inch waist and ripped, I didn't feel very good.
I went natural in 1990 a few months prior to getting married. I feel better now at 40 years old then I did then.
