Heat

As McMahon grows The WWF brand to stratospheric new heights, trouble starts brewing, the brand gets bigger, and so do the muscles, accusations of steroid abuse, rape and paedophilia threaten to ruin the brand.

Oh boy, this is all kinds of crazy, there is so much happening here, one word that sums this whole episode, scandalous.

So much to dissect, the brand became vast, and of course people want to knock those at the top of it, but there was evidently a lot of self harm, definitely too many blind eyes turned.

I'm fascinated by how Hulk Hogan is coming across, not what I expected at all.

One thing that did leave me with a rough feeling, a snapshot of that abominable Hogan/McMahon film, holy moses who thought that was a good idea? That could have been career ending.

9/10.

This episode is where they start getting into the muck behind the scenes. The drug scandals, the sex scandals, Hulk Hogan being Hulk Hogan...

Seriously, if Hogan hadn't grassed on Jesse Ventura when Jesse was trying to get a union happening, maybe a lot of the behind-the-scenes garbage Vince Jr caused could have been avoided. The working conditions were AWFUL and a union would likely have cancelled out a lot of that.

The episode also shows a lot of why the shows and PPVs tended to stumble in the early years - Vince never really stepped back to consider what actually made what they were doing to appealing, he just thought that Bigger always meant Better so he kept chasing Bigger And Better Spectacle for the PPVs, especially Wrestlemania.
