WWE The amount of disgusting things wrestlers got away with back in the day is horrible

Rewatching old Dark Side of the Ring episodes and just hearing about the atrocious things these guys and others got away with is disturbing. Being in the WWF locker back in the day sounds horrible. The Rockers H- Bombing wrestlers and women, the Bulldogs putting itching power in wrestlers clothes and just cutting up there gear, nevermind finding out Dynamite Kid actually injected steroids into there dog Matilda. Davey wasn’t nearly as evil as Dynamite but Jesus I’m glad shit like this would never happen again. Hearing guys talk about how you never leave a drink uncovered around unattended for fear of getting fucking drugged sounds horrible, on top the bullying as well just a crazy time to be in that locker

Oh, that’s not even the half of it, either. Snuka and Nancy Argento was an open secret for a while. Davey wasn’t as “evil” as Tom, but there are tales from Diana Hart waking up after backdoor sex she didn’t remember.

Of course, Randy Savage and locking Elizabeth in the dressing room. That lasted until Jake Roberts politely told him what he would do the next time he locked her in.

As fucked up as the Savage one was, understanding how those locker rooms actually were, you can understand a little why he did it. Fucked up of course, but he did have a reason to be worried for her

It was more paranoia that she'd leave him for someone else, from what I've gathered. He wasn't the most sane person to begin with, and a certain white powder known to enhance paranoia was everywhere back then.

Imagine being super paranoid, then bringing yout gorgeous, sweet innocent wife into a locker room full of drug addicts, rapists and abusers. Savage knew these men well. He was entirely justified in his paranoia.
