Some moments you were surprised that were green lighted even back then?

Even though there were way less restrictions back then, what were some moments that you were shocked they allowed back then?

Two of my examples would be The Big Bossman being hanged by Undertaker in the ring & Brock pushing Zach Gowen down a path of stairs.

The last clip definitely wouldn’t air during the #metoo environment. Triple H strongly implies he raped stephanie in this.

This got a really really young me scared for Brutus’ life

Couldn’t watch Superstars for the next couple weeks

Kerwin White. Even for a company as racist as WWE, having a Mexican take that gimmick in the 2000s was some unbelievable shyt.

Angle trying to rape Sharmell for like a month around that time was too.

Showing the snake actually bite Macho Man on Saturday morning TV back in the day was out there too, though for obviously much different reasons.

 

[DaylitoJames]

Having their mexican wrestlers ride down to the ring on lawn mowers every week

you know that triggered JBL

Some of us were watching this shyt on Saturday morning while eating cereal

The Boss Man hanging is a good one because had it gone wrong - and it really looked like it was about to go wrong - they would have killed a man on live television.

Now that I'm thinking of that time frame, I'm remembering that they actually had Heidenreich rape Cole on screen around then.

UPN somehow signed off on it.

This reminded me about Cryme Tyme and... well everything about that gimmick




Looking back, it was disgraceful af. How in the world did they not catch flack for this??
Seeing how WWE treats/treated minority wrestlers makes me not even want to watch period.

Pretty sure all of that is on wrestlecrap too. Remarkable how much awful stuff has gotten the green light. Another angle would be woman beater Test.

Edit: how the hell did Eugene ever make it onto the air? A guy who’s retarded?

Cryme Tyme. Even though the WWE has a history of BS like that I thought it was crazy that it was green lit in the 2000s

The Austin/Pillman gun incident in 1996.

The Bossman lynching at Wrestlemania 15

Mae Young giving birth to a hand

Bossman feeding Al Snow some cooked dog

No way in hell this shyt would fly in this day and age
