Kevin Nash Defends The Rock Over Accusations Of Steroid Use

Kevin Nash has proven himself to be one of the most renowned WWE legends of all time. Big Sexy always liked to be actively involved in the business, with sporadic WWE television programming appearances or speaking on various topics on his own podcast. Recently, Nash defended Joe Rogan’s accusation on The Rock regarding steroid use.

The Rock is famous for his amazing talent, movies, WWE run, and even his well-maintained physique. The Great One’s top-notch fitness regime, disciplined hard work, and well-planned nutritious diet has been the reason for his amazing physical stature as claimed by him.

UFC color commentator Joe Rogan recently argued that The Rock had taken steroids to build his body and advised him to come clean to the public. This accusation caught the eye of former WWE champion Kevin Nash. The WWE Hall of Famer spoke about his own history of performance enhancers and detailed various types of steroids on the latest episode of Kliq This podcast.

“Rogan’s latest thing is that he’s came out after Dwayne [Johnson], saying that … The Rock is saying that he doesn’t use PEDs and Rogan is telling [everyone] that it’s bullsh*t and [he is] on PEDs. I just wanna make this point, and this is my point, and it’s my opinion. Performance Enhancing Drugs are just that.

They enhance your performance. Testosterone replacement therapy brings you back the hormonal levels that you [had] in your mid 30’s. I am on testosterone replacement therapy. If you take my blood, my testosterone level will probably be dependent on how far from my injection, between 780 and 1000. Somewhere in between there. The sweet spot is about 850 for me. I also have my free Testosterone, which will probably be around 18. I have to take a [anti-estrogen] because if not, my estrogen will go through the roof.

I weigh the same every f*cking day, I’m in no way stronger, no way faster, nothing to do with performance except my blood lipid panel is amazing for my age, especially for my genetic pre-dip disposition. My HDL, which is your good cholesterol, last time was 42. [That’s] nothing to brag about, but it’s above 40. My LDL, which is your bad cholesterol, is 55. Total cholesterol was less than 100. Triglycerides was less than 66. C-reactive protein, which is the inflammation that’s throughout your body and into your heart and veins, was like 0.7. I’m very beyond low risk, but all of those things only happened after I started to do testosterone replacement.

Yes, I am leaner than I was, but I’m nowhere like I was when I was taking steroids, when I was trying to f*cking look like Master Blaster Steel.”

Nash further went on to defend The Rock, claiming that if he was into steroid use, he would be getting access from a doctor. He even compared The Rock’s body type with bodybuilder Nick Walker.

“Dwayne is 50. If he’s taking anything, it’s done by a doctor. He’s getting either Cypionate or Enanthate, it depends. Cypionate is closer to your regular testosterone, your natural testosterone, but the Enanthate lasts longer. Yeah, I mean Dwayne looks great but … Somebody like Dwayne… number one he’s very disciplined, but he’s also very wealthy.

So I don’t think that Dwayne is getting up in the morning and as he gets the crust out of his eyes at 4 AM, is deciding if he’s gonna scramble egg whites. I mean, he gets up, takes an ice-cold shower, probably does 20 minutes of cardio with nothing in his stomach except coffee and then has his pre-workout and goes in there and trains a body part. I watch him, he doesn’t train super, super heavy, but strict super sets with constant tension on the muscles. [He] knows what he’s doing. [He’s] in his own zone, gets out of there, and the rest of the day, he’s eating optimally. He’s not missing meals, he’s not missing macros. To look the way he does all the time, instead of f*cking bashing somebody, just tip your hat to their discipline.”

For the record, The Rock did admit during a 2009 interview that the did use steroids when he was a teenager. The People’s Champ hasn’t uttered much about PEDs since.

As Ringside news exclusively reported, The Rock is a virtual lock to return to WWE for a long time for a mega showdown against his cousin Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39, set to take place in The Brahma Bull’s backyard in Hollywood next year.
