How about the time Val Venis boned the wife of Kaientai's manager so they tried to chop off his dick?

Or how about Terri Runnels faking a miscarriage?

Or how about Chyna setting Mark Henry up to have sex with a trans woman?

Or how about Beaver Cleavage who wanted to bone his mum except actually his name was Chaz and he was beating his girlfriend except actually she was faking it the whole time?

Yeah, there are some great moments in the Attitude Era, but you have to dig through a ton of rancid poo poo to find them.

At least it gave us this, though:

He was a heel you could love, and frankly had to because he had that perfect balance of outlandishness, dickishness and just overall greatness. It's a hard combo to get right but by God he did

...and of course they couldn't just try to cut off his dick, they had to yell "I choppy choppy your pee-pee" as they swung the sword.

...and of course the sword missed due to 'sudden shrinkage'.

...and then there was the formation of Right to Censor where Val (and other formerly offensive comedy acts) 'turned heel by being prudish and aping the Parent's Television Council.

That's when I started watching. It wasn't until years later that I watched the months before it to see how WWF so hilariously wrote themselves into a corner.

When Slaughter came back in 1990, he was supposed to be an ultra fascist war hawk, completely pissed that Nikolai Volkoff was able to be embraced for turning face and loving America. But mainly, he got heel heat by calling out the US for being too cowardly to go to war with Iraq.

Then the US went to war with Iraq. Vince was like, "Uh... crap. Slaughter loves Iraq now, I guess?"

A year later, Slaughter had to walk it all back in-character so he could be a face again. It was awkward.

oh poo poo, i've just realised that i didn't share my favourite wrestling fact of all time:

in the run up to that trump wrestlemania appearance where he takes the lovely stunner, they did a big storyline on raw where it was announced that donald trump had bought ownership of monday night raw from vince mcmahon and a bunch of golden trumpbux fell from the ceiling, yadda yadda (very obviously a storyline, and entirely on the tv show). the original plan was to for that to be a big ongoing storyline between the two of them to build the match, but suddenly the next week it's announced that vince mcmahon has had a big freakout and bought it back for double what trump paid for it

the unofficial reason they changed that was because the loving stock price immediately tanked after the trump announcement

that implies two things

1) vince mcmahon, two-time failed owner of the xfl, is considered a significantly smaller business risk than donald trump
2) institutional wall street investors do not realise that the things that happen on a pro wrestling show are pretend and that kane did not kill the undertaker's parents in a fire
