Quote :: Former WWE Diva, Dawn Marie has admitted that she took steroids during her WWE career in a new profile piece on WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon. Read the excerpt below:

Dawn Marie Damatta, who performed with WWE from 2002 to 2005 and whose profile is still on the company website, said she has used steroids during the course of her wrestling career, which began in the late-1990s

“I chose to take that shortcut,” Damatta said. “Did Vince tell me to take that shortcut? No. Did WWE? No. Why did I do it? Because I thought that’s what I needed to do in order to keep up . . . There was no testing policy.”

She said it is clear just from looking at the physiques of today’s WWE talent that steroid use is not as prevalent as it used to be. And she believes the drug-testing policy is also reducing the abuse of drugs such as painkillers and saving lives.

Damatta said she likes and respects Linda and Vince but believes they could do more to assist former talent.

“Wrestlers are taken as children, thrown into this industry and then we’re dumped back out as adults. There’s no learning in the world. We’re on the road, traveling, hustling, getting beat up,” Damatta said. “Where do I go? What do I put on a resume?”

Since being released while pregnant in 2005, Dawn has gone onto found Wrestler’s Rescue, a charity aimed at supporting retired professional wrestlers.

i mean look at Edge from 1998-2004 compared to him now...really ripped to no definition at all

Triple H has lost a lot of deffinetion...and i aint gonna put it down to age...cos he's an avid work outer, he does so with Sheamus

Orton used to be really big and beefy at like 250 or something...since then he's dropped like 15 lbs and is not as bulky

so at least for the most part the test policy is working

She was a woman nearing her 40's, in a group of 20 year old girls. Like she said she had to keep up. Kinda shocked, yet not shocked at the same time.

you'd never expect it to be her. i would have thought someone like Jazz or Chyna maybe but never Dawn. i never knew she was in her 40s while she was in WWE. whatever she took worked anyway

There was another piece to this article, mostly about McMahon.

Quote :: McMahon will not face those same challenges when he retires — if he retires.

“As time goes on obviously I’m going to be in retreat mode,” McMahon said.

He said that, particularly now that WWE is a public company, there is more and more shared responsibility.

“People think I’m involved in every single aspect of everything that we do and dominating this or that,” McMahon said. “It’s not Vince’s company. It can’t be Vince’s company. It’s a public company.”

During the interview McMahon said he was preparing to put an end to his performances in the ring.

“We need to move on, you know?” McMahon said. “It’s important that we develop new characters and my character seems to eat up a lot of time on the show. We need to have these fresh young faces.”

McMahon has not appeared on “Raw” since he was carried out of Harbor Yard on a stretcher last month.

“It was Vince’s intention to write himself out, and there are no plans for him to return to the ring,” WWE spokesman Robert Zimmerman said by e-mail.

“But since it’s WWE, you never know.”
