>>17745453I thought it was a pretty weak episode. Didn't go in-depth as much as it should've and it made the whole episode feel like total sympathybait filler.
To be honest this entire season has been shit and they were smart to save the Hassan episode for last seeing as it's something that happened recently enough yet still doesn't get talked about in official media.
>>17746872Seasons 2 and 3 of DSOTR were thought to have a Pro-AEW slant (Jericho, YB in the Kanyon episode, Pillman Jr.) despite the Ultimate Warrior episode being the most blatant puff piece I've seen on the show. After season 3 there was a notable shift away from WWE-centric episodes into more historical accounts.
The real answer is that Vice blew their load with WWE stories early. Montreal, Benoit, Owen, Plane Ride from Hell, and the Steroid Trials were all pre-season 4.
