The Attitude Era is never coming back. But fans get their share of blood, action and excitement these days from MMA. There is a big crossover audience that is a fan of both MMA and WWE, and we daresay, that the UFC fanbase may just be outgrowing that of pro-wrestling.
As a legitimate sporting body, the UFC treats drug tests very seriously. Not to be left behind, WWE probably wants to appear just as serious about its performers abusing drugs. And hence, the suspensions are a necessity in order to not be left behind by an increasingly transient audience base.
