>>13389902I don't think some of the younger anons realize just how devastating that steroid scandal was to WWE back then. Even the Benoit tragedy didn't threaten the company itself that much in comparison
If anyone wants to see a visual representation of how horrible things got, watch the opening segment for Wrestlemania 11. They didn't even focus on the wrestlers or try to make the wrestlers themselves seem like the main attraction. The intro was just hyping up all the guest celebrities and treating them like the stars of the show, with the wrestlers just standing beside them looking lame as hell (except for Bret, he looked like a pimp with Salt & Pepa, kek)
