Fair enough. I wonder as to how much of that was related to the decline in business in general, as opposed to the actual angle? Hulkamania dominated the late 80's but was starting to die down as we entered the 90's. The WWE tried to give the ball to the Ultimate Warrior in 1990, but he wasn't up to the task.
Did WWF ratings spike back up in 1992?
