10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 8 Facts
1. Hogan, Piper, Roberts, And Sid Were All Gone Within A Month Of The Event
Hogan's farewell was a given, and you've already read about Roberts' escape from the company. Piper wouldn't wrestle again for two years, only taking part in a few unaired Piper's Pit segments at upcoming TV tapings and making a brief appearance at SummerSlam at the end of August. Sid quit the company three weeks after WrestleMania out of anger due to a failed drug test.
Looking at the card for WrestleMania 8, that's half of the participants in the four biggest matches. Flair would leave the company after a European tour in February 1993, and Savage would become pretty much a part-timer after dropping the belt in September. As for other major stars, Hawk quit after SummerSlam, and Animal followed weeks later. Warrior and British Bulldog were fired that November for receiving growth hormone.
Comparing the WWE roster in January 1992 and December 1992, the differences are staggering.
