Wrestlers Reacting to Steroid Allegations

Similar to the famous "fake" question, all pro wrestlers eventually get pressed about steroids. Check out this video compilation of wrestlers responding to steroid allegations.

One of the most famous press clips on wrestling and steroids came from The Arsenio Hall Show. In the midst of the early '90s steroid scandal in the WWF, Hulk Hogan went on TV to claim he'd never done steroids.

"What I am is what I am. I'm a real American, I love my family, I love my god, I love all my people who believe in me," Hogan prefaced. "I was insulted when the speculation said all you've got to do is take a pill or take a shot in the butt everyday to get to look like Hulk Hogan. I've trained 20 years, two hours a day to look like I do. But the things that I am not, is I'm not a steroid abuser and I do not use steroids."

In a follow-up report by Inside Edition, Superstar Billy Graham torched Hogan's TV testimony.

"I myself, personally, have injected Hulk Hogan with anabolic steroids," Graham said. "I want him to be honest. I want him to tell the American public because of the overwhelming evidence of testimonies from people like myself. He's taken steroids from the late '70s through the whole decade of the '80s. I want him to come clean, he owes it to his fans, he owes it to the children of this country."

10 Infamous Receipts in Pro Wrestling History

In pro wrestling, a "receipt" is an ass-kicking that you brought upon yourself. It comes from the cardinal rule of the business -- always take care of your opponent. If you fail to do that, the repercussions will fall squarely on your head (often via chair shot).

The Undertaker recently explained the purpose of giving receipts in wrestling. "I'm pretty patient [when it comes to giving a receipt]. It all depends on intent," the Deadman said. "Some guys just work very snug. I pride myself on my punches. I feel like I can make it look like I can take your head off and not touch you. Every once in a while one gets away from me... I'd much rather it be there than it miss. It ain't ballet."

But not all receipts come after a stiff shot gets away. Sometimes a performer delivers a receipt to protect themselves from an unsafe worker, like when Taker had to shut down Giant Gonzalez at Wrestlemania IX. "[Gonzalez] cracks me right across the back of my neck, and then once I get back the feeling in my little fingers... I flipped," Taker recalled on his podcast. "I turned around and just started wailing on him."

Let's go back to classic WWE, the old territories, and even a battle between monsters in Japan. Here are 10 of the most infamous receipts in pro wrestling history.
