WWE History: 5 Attitude Era segments that went too far

#4 Hawk jumps off the titantron

We are well aware of the issues of drugs and alcohol within the wrestling industry. Road Warrior, Hawk, was suffering badly at the time with the same syndrome.

WWE took advantage of this situation, and with the rise of more edgy and real contents, Legion of Doom was given a storyline in which Animal began to question his tag partner Hawk's wrestling ability and commitment to wrestling.

The idea was that Hawk would start showing signs of someone high on drugs, which would lead to the team breaking up and feuding with each other.

The most horrific moment of this whole angle came when Hawk became so upset over the split that, the next night on "RAW," he got high again and attempted suicide on live TV by jumping off the top of the titantron.

Unfortunately, the controversial angle could not garner any interest from the fans and failed to increase the ratings.
