These facts are simple, documented and inarguable in the big picture. The Hardys are two tough working, drug free athletes who are lucky to be getting such a great push. Where the issue of performance enhancing drug use really gets tricky in wrestling is the moral issue. That is only the law speaking, though. Those are the words of often-misguided politicians and athletic executives who don t want their athletic competitions turned into pharmaceutical competitions.

Though the drugs previously discussed are grouped under performance enhancing drugs, the drugs don t directly affect the in-ring performance of wrestlers. Some may use the strength gained by steroids to perform power moves, but that is not the larger impact of performance enhancing drugs. Generally, these drugs are simply used to improve the look of a wrestler. From 1992 to 1996, the most consistent WWF headliners were Shawn Michaels , Undertaker and Bret Hart . Hart was marketed as a technical marvel, Michaels was marketed as a brash youngster and the top wrestler in the world, and Undertaker was marketed as a kiddie gimmick wrestler largely based on size.
