If The People v. OJ Simpson taught us anything, it’s that people love a trial from the nineties. In the summer of 1994, Vince McMahon faced his biggest opponent ever: the federal government. He was charged by the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York with distributing anabolic steroids to his cast of beefy, bulging characters in WWE. It was a desperate time for his empire as the Walt Disney of Pro Wrestling could have been put behind bars, the future of his company unknown.

Sure, we already know the verdict – McMahon was acquitted on all charges. But that wouldn't stop viewers from wanting to relive how a seemingly foolproof case, featuring a dirty doctor and numerous WWE Superstars clearly on the gas, was lost. The idea of an episode with Nailz taking the stand is already Emmy-worthy.
