In 1990, the World Wrestling Federation was the most dominant entertainment empire on the planet. Hulk Hogan was a global phenomenon. WrestleMania was a cultural event. The money was pouring in and nobody — nobody — could touch them. Five years later, the arenas were half empty. The top stars were gone or broken. The creative well had run dry. And a rival company was quietly sharpening a knife with their name on it. This is the complete story of how it happened. Five years. Five videos. One unbroken arc of ambition, panic, miscalculation, and slow-motion collapse. From the peak of the Hulkamania era to the desperate, rudderless company that stumbled into 1995 with no clear star, no clear vision, and no clear plan. It didn't happen overnight. That's what makes it fascinating. It happened one bad decision at a time.
