10 Horrible WWE Feuds That Led To Great Matches

10. Kurt Angle’s “Bestiality Sex”

Let's just get this one out of the way.

In 2005, Kurt Angle started stalking Booker T's wife Sharmell and saying he'd like to have "bestiality sex" with her. As if that wasn't enough, Kurt also alleged that Sharmell had been touching him up privately backstage - this was all designed to get under Booker's skin, but it caused some fans to gag instead.

Then, something amazing happened: Angle and Booker dispensed with the ludicrous plot points, the bell sounded at Judgment Day '05, and they... just wrestled an intense, slick match. Booker's aggression fit the story, sure, but being on the front foot with electric offensive flurries was always when the ex-WCW man was at his very best anyway.

Meanwhile, Kurt sold his arse off. It's amazing to think what could've been had WWE's writers stopped tricking themselves into thinking they needed more 2002-esque controversy to create cash, and simply let these dudes do their thing.
