The wrestlers generally don't advertise doing coke and abusing pills. We only find out if they die or get arrested.
Nothing is hidden these days. Everyone knows their real names and schedules. If they are abusing drugs is going to be exposed very quickly.
The modern guys are a different breed. Most look at Sports Entertainment as a 5-7 year deal that they can hopefully transition into something else.

I'm a lifelong wrestling fan and I'm always at odds with that fandom when I read/hear about how these men and women end up. With that said, the present generation HAS learned. Just look at them PHYSICALLY. They are not comic book heroes and mythic warriors, they look like normal athletes in the 210-230lb range for the most part.Lets take a look at the MONSTERS of the 80's and 90's and their fate.
Scott Steiner- Alive and well in his 50's. Never did illicit drugs but did use "Testosterone".
Lex Luger- A tragic story as the years of steroid abuse has ravaged him. Though he never abused illegal drugs. He is alive and in his 50's.
Barbarian- 50's and still a monster. Never used illicit drugs.
Nikita Koloff- 50's and is now a Pastor. Never used illicit drugs.
The list goes on and on.
There's no way I believe Steiner didn't use steroids. His ****ing biceps looked like pyramids.
what made his piper's schtick beautiful was that for some time in the mid-late 80's, it seemed like it was written in his contract that nobody could punk him unless it was wrestlemania. so like he was ALWAYS trolling and ambushing hogan and other various good guys but seemed to always get away with it. it was like they made woody woodpecker into a wrestler.

He will KILL YOU for saying that!!!
Steiner makes a distinction between "Testosterone" and "Steroids". He readily admits to using "Testosterone" but NOT " Steroids".
He talks about in several interviews you can see on YouTube!
