Since the very beginings of pro wrestling there has been blood in matches.

Perhaps as early as the 1950s steroids have been part of professional wrestling. When the trend in wrestling was to have larger than life real life action figures as the focus more so than traditional wrestling lots of wrestlers turned to steroids to help them achieve that look. Due to lack of knowledge or simple desire to get bigger at any cost, many wrestlers shortened their very lives due to over use and abuse of steroids. Accusations of steroid distributing nearly ruined Vince McMahon and his company in the 90s.

The professional wrestling world was rocked in early 2024 when news of the lawsuit and potential federal investigation against Vince McMahon was revealed to the world. Never has there been a more polarizing and more important person in the wrestling industry.
