Though only a few fans would have heard of 'Signature Pharmacy', the company is actually responsible for one of the most shocking real-life moments in modern WWE.

Following the actions of Chris Benoit in June 2007, the company clamped down hard on Superstars using substances, and found several stars in violation of the relatively new Wellness Policy.

This included Edge, Mr Kennedy, Randy Orton, William Regal, The Hurricane, Johnny Nitro and many more stars. As you can imagine, this was a huge blow to the company.

Forced to suspend some of their top stars, WWE was left scrambling to write out characters, with many losing matches during the same episode of RAW. Though they returned 30 days later, the damage had been done by the scandal, as Superstars learned you can't beat the system.
