If the drug policy were around 10, 20 years ago...
 

If the drug policy was around 10 and 20 years ago (and enforced the same way as today) in the WWF how different would it have been?

Obviously the top guys like Austin, Hogan, etc would be protected, but there will be those "Jeff Hardys" back then.

I suppose Jake Roberts would have been the Jeff Hardy of the early 90s...

But how would the landscape have been changed? A lot? Not at all?

Not much if any I'd wager. I don't see the wellness policy solving too many problems.

Million Dollar Man would have been in the main event at Wrestlemania VI instead of Warrior and Hogan probably would have gone over.

Not much. Chris Benoit was certainly no Hogan in WWE's eyes, yet he still managed to get around it. As did tons of midcarders prior to the "Scandal."

I'm sure some people would have been caught, but not many. Not enough to really change things.

I think alot of guys wouldn't have been able to get through the pain without their pills, and would have retired much sooner.

They would have also lived longer.

In the end, nothing much would have changed then, but there would be alot more guys around now.

Except it's so easy to get legal scripts for pain killers...

There would be no wrestling.

No shit! They give that shit out like candy. My back really hurts though, so I need it. :shifty:

All they'd need was a mark doctor or their doctor being buddy-buddy

And STILL morons are and would have been caught without one.
