I'd surmise that it is well past the rumour stage.
Some guys have even detailed what they would do to make it through the day.
Del Wilkes who wrestled as The Patriot described what he took to get through the pain. I read an interview with Sean Waltman (aka X-Pac, 6-pac, 1-2-3 Kid) where he talked about drug use in the business. I've seen other interviews or comments in books about wrestlers life styles and their usage of drugs. Some of these guys seem to know as much about drugs as some doctors (exageration but you get the point).
It is quite amazing that some guys are still alive. I read about guys like Lex Luger and Scott Hall and they don't even know how they are alive.
