His brother claimed that Savage never messed with Cocaine but the preexisting heart condition could very well have been steroids. Savage said as much that he did roids back in the day but they were legal when he did them. I forget where he said that, it might of been Arsenio Hall.
Dude was jacked until the day he died, so it's open to conjecture if he was on something or simply was a workout freak. One story I heard was the reason Savage started wearing shirts in the later part of his WWF run was because of the looming steroid trials and he was paranoid (Savage was a well known paranoid among the other wrestlers) that he would get pinched as a steroid user.
For that matter. Hogan was noticeably deflated in 1992 right about the time he was heading out. When both guys made their way to WCW in the mid 90's both were looking jacked again. WCW was notorious for having a negligent back room atmosphere so they probably didn't have a damn clue who was popping what or cared.
Based on the stories of Macho Man in the past, the dude was in the character mode almost 24/7. This has led many to believe that the guy we saw on screen was really who Randy was, just cranked up to 11. The stories about him make it seem that he was like a method actor who fully adopted the character as his real persona.
I remember what your talking about - i.e. Hogan looking skinny and not like his typical self.
I always thought around that time Savage did too - and when he first joined WCW - i.e. not jacked - and not a lot of muscle tone - here's a pic below.
But as the years went on in WCW - he got huge/cut. Not sure if you're familiar with the Team Madness years - it's when he was with Sid and had an entourage of women with him - he got jacked.
