News, Top Story

In an interview with the UK Sun, Dwayne Johnson talks about his divorce, fatherhood, the U.S. Presidential election and more. Here is an excerpt from the interview, in which he discusses steroids in wrestling…

“Why Benoit did what he did no one will ever know.

“But in terms of rampant steroid use, they’re taking the appropriate steps to implement much stricter policies.

“An epidemic started and they had to act. We need to have a zero tolerance policy in place.

“We have a great responsibility as athletes, actors and celebrities to children, because we are very influential.

“You know the outcome of the matches, it’s a scripted television show.

“What I tell guys interested in getting into wrestling is you need to find a way to connect with the live audience. And you don’t do that through your biceps.”
