I'd say that in the WWE today, you can't immediately point a finger at a guy and scream steroids. Its just as likely that the guy with the huge physique got it the old fashioned way,(as as been said, Cena has come out and said that he's never used, (and considering what he represents, he'd better not be lying) and has huge gorilla arms.) and the more average looking guy is using because he's constantly rehabbing minor injuries, or is strugggling finding gym time. Rey got caught with them, despite not needing muscles to get over.
Agreed with your post. I'm not saying 'look at him, he's on steroids'. However, after having read way too much about the lifestyle of these people, I assume someone is on steroids unless they specifically are not (like Cena's rep for being clean). I think back to the Meltzer line from a few years ago, when Vince said all performers on WrestleMania would be steroid-free: 'the show's just going to be a triple threat match between Spike Dudley, Lance Storm and Mick Foley'.

I agree they have improved greatly in this respect since the day Vince watched a Batista match and realised that being insanely muscular wasn't worth a damn for entertainment value.
That's all he cares about. Pretty much every time I flick through on a Sunday and see Superstars, the workers are all on vitamin S. Back in the day, you'd have slightly flabby dudes (and they have a token one now), but in 2011, everyone (other than Husky) has a mental physique.
Superstars? WTF?
That's where you see the likes of Regal, Tatsu, Ryder, Primo, Masters (who is ripped, but compare him to when he debuted and was on steroids and he's about half the size) and others who are far from being hulking monsters and are on the whole more athletic and wrestling-focused.
WRT what Pundy said, just because Masters isn't as big doesn't mean he's not on roids. He's just less easy to accuse than he was. And if Vance Archer isn't on roids, then I'm Jeep Swenson.
