To ease this off his personal life a bit, when was it that you think his ring persona started to crack? For me it was when he came back to WCW in '98. Before he left he was just being himself and seemed to have his stuff together. But I noticed a major difference during "the greatest day in the history of our sport". It didn't get any better once he went on with WCW during it's final years, and only seemed to be more like the guy we all idolized during the Evolution period.
