  • Billy Jack Haynes on Drug Distribution in WWE
    WWE Legend Billy Jack Haynes talks about the system that was used by most WWE wrestlers in the 80's and early 90's to acquire Steroids, pain medications and amphetamines through various doctors and particularly Dr George Zahorian who was eventually convicted of 15 drug trafficking related charges.

    born & raised here in Portland Oregon, i grew up watching portland wrestling all through the 80's & early 90's Billy Jack & Roddy Piper 2 of the biggest baby faces EVER in portland. Billy Jack & Rip Oliver could pack the house every weekend, every show. anyone watch Billy jack, Dynamite Kid, Piper, Rip oliver, Buddy Rose, Kurt Henning in portland wrestling the shows are jam packed!! we watched on tv or it was a 15 min drive to the sports arena adults were 5$$ kids free it was awesome. the 80's was the best time for wrasslin

    If the fans only knew what was going on behind the scenes when all this was happening back then. We watched wrestling for the characters and believed in them for what they portrayed in the ring but had no idea what was truly going on back stage and in their real lives. Scary. No wonder so many wrestlers died so young.

    I can imagine all these wrestlers looking for their drug packages from fedex, not surprised a lot of them got hooked or OD’d with being able to get narcotics so easily esp when their bodies are beat to death night after night and getting little to no sleep and proper rest for their bodies. It’s a crime what those dudes went thru , I don’t blame any of them for getting hooked on drugs I would think it would be impossible not to with their schedules and ease of acquiring them.

    You can always tell who juiced when they get old. They shrink up substantially. Think of a big guy likening of your friend's dad's that got old who was big like a wrestler when you were kid's, he's still probably pretty big as an old man. Because he was a regular guy who didn't do roids. Some wrestlers are still huge, because they didn't need roids, they were naturally big.

    I don’t get it. I’m slightly sympathetic because of the ignorance of the time but these guys chose this path. Period. If you need drugs to do the job and you don’t want to take drugs, don’t do the job.
    The reality is these guys, most of them, would have been drug addicts, weekend users, or any other form of drug taker you can think of. There were guys who took it too far and there were guys who dabbled. It’s sad to see someone that old, who lived an incredible life in their youth just not be able to take responsibility for his actions. Until someone says Vince had the other wrestlers hold me down and force me to take drugs, with evidence, Vince doesn’t get the blame.
    It’s not my old Heroin dealers fault that I took heroin, and it surely isn’t the guys fault that introduced me to him. I wanted something and they each played a role in getting me what I wanted as easily as possible.
