10 Most Shocking WWE TitanTron Moments
3. Pusher
After a comprehensive beating by tag team upstarts The New Age Outlaws, and a failed reboot as 'LOD 2000', The Road Warriors had become damaged goods by the summer of 1998.
In storyline terms, this appeared to trigger stifled 'demons' within Hawk.
WWE chose to exploit his real-life drug and alcohol addictions by sending him out to act drunk during Legion of Doom matches, until Animal could no longer trust him as a partner.
LOD hanger-on Darren Drozdov had become a third man in the group shortly before Hawk's problems were apparent, so willingly took his place in the team in the interim.
Hawk re-emerged on a November episode of Raw in the middle of a Legion of Doom match, climbing to the top of the TitanTron and threatening suicide against the pleading wishes of longterm partner Animal.
Droz climbed the structure too, ostensibly to talk Hawk down, before appearing to shove him off the top to the floor behind the screen.
This literal manifestation was supposed to present Drozdov as 'the pusher', who had been secretly enabling his drug addiction as a way to force him out of the team completely, but both Hawk and Animal left the promotion in disgust with their position before the angle was fully paid off.
