    Rude was headed toward a face turn and feud with Vader before his injury in 1994. Vader's face turn came in Hogan WCW and he wasn't around that much longer, so I think we can retcon that out of existence.

    This has been totally forgotten but Vader also turned face in 1990 as he saved Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich from the Freebirds. I think it was because they didn't want to have a heel vs heel match and had booked Vader vs Hansen for Wrestle War. Vader was rarely in WCW in 1991 and I think they just forgot by October as he was back as a heel at Halloween Havoc in the Chamber of Horrors match.

    Someone with a better idea of the steroid trial timeline...

    Did the WWF potentially hold off firing the British Bulldog until after Summerslam 92 given the sizable investment in the show or just a lucky coincidence that he pisses hot only a few months later?

    I don't think he pissed hot, somehow the company found out that he and Warrior were getting Steroids (or HGH) shipped from France so they had to get rid of them both.

    It really hurt the WWF's popularity in the UK to have Bulldog gone so soon after his title win. They did a tour in spring 93 which was just terrible, running with half the crew that was already massively depleted from only 6 months  or so previously.
