Former WWE Attitude Era Superstar Roasts Billy Gunn for Steroid Use

WWE and steroids go hand in hand, or at least they used to. Size didn't just matter in older versions of WWE, but it was near crucial for survival. Seemingly, wrestlers never hesitated when it came time to sticking themselves with hypodermic needles.

While that culture appears to be a thing of the past, relics of previous generations still find room to at least make reference to performance enhancing drugs.

Former WWE Superstar, Bob Holly, posted a recent picture of himself looking "smaller" than he did back in his prime. Attitude Era peer, Billy Gunn, saw this as the perfect opportunity to tease the deflated wrestler:

Oh, but the laughter would stop there for Gunn. Bob Holly would use his old hypodermic needle not to inject himself, but to pop Gunn's balloon:

Attitude Era buddy, Stevie Richards couldn't resist chiming in on the fun:

Oddly enough, even though Holly wrecked Gunn, he also basically admitted to steroid usage. Ho hum.

For Gunn the insult is all too relevant as Mr. Ass' abuse of performance enhancers is still relevant today. In 2015, Gunn was serving as a trainer for WWE. That is until he egregiously failed a drug test and WWE relieved him of his coaching duties.

Here's the full story from a 2015 Wrestling Observer Newsletter:

"As noted, Billy Gunn was fired from his job as a trainer at the WWE Performance Center after he tested positive for performance enhancing drugs at a power-lifting competition back in July. WWE was not aware of Gunn's suspension or the fact that he was doing these competitions.

"Bryan Alvarez noted on Wrestling Observer Live that it's believed WWE only tests their contracted talents, not the coaches and staff at the Performance Center. This is probably why there was never a negative WWE Wellness test for Gunn. However, WWE officials were forced to release Gunn because they can't have one of their trainers testing positive for performance enhancing drugs as it makes their entire developmental program look bad."

PED's are something WWE has zero tolerance for in 2017. While some wrestlers still may be using them, it's quite the risk. WWE has given no exception on their wellness policy as they suspended their top star Roman Reigns in 2016. As a publicly traded company, WWE simply cannot afford its employees to be using illicit materials, hence the rapid firing of Billy Gunn.
