10 Times WWE's Attitude Era Got SERIOUSLY Weird
Sex, death and the World Wrestling Federation at the height of 90s smut. Get It?!
The Attitude Era remains one of the most beloved periods of time in wrestling history, particularly to the generation fans that discovered the industry through its lens. It was populated by some of the most significant characters to ever enter WWE, and there are a multitude of incredible matches and moments that live rent free in fans' heads. There is also a giant dollop of the weirdest and most unhinged storylines in wrestling history that somehow have been forgotten or misremembered over the years.
Vince McMahon's creative was at its most extreme in these years. WWE's head of creative (and pretty much everything else in these years) is one of the most bizarre humans to ever walk the earth, and that was never more apparent than during the Attitude Era.
This is a list to remember the most over the top, ridiculous, and downright messy stories to ever be told in professional wrestling or any other entertainment medium. From the gibberish to the outright offensive, these are some of the weirdest moments not just from the time period, but any point in WWE history...
10. Naked Mideon
When the Attitude Era was at it's height, The Undertaker entered the darkest period of his whole career. As the leader of The Ministry of Darkness, 'The Deadman' flirted with occult symbolism and Satanic imagery. This also included running with a stable of minions, which included Mideon. His allegiance to 'Taker was devout, and his look was perfect for the Lord of Darkness vibe that The Ministry gave off, but then things got really weird.
If you've never heard of Naked Mideon, this gimmick is exactly what you'd expect from the name. After the Ministry disbanded, Mideon would show up on WWE television in nothing but a fanny pack, a pair of boots, and a thong to show his bare ass. It served no purpose and always came across like a backstage joke that had somehow reached our screens.
Picture this happening in the modern era. It would be like The Wyatt Six going their separate ways, only for Erik Rowan to appear on TV as Naked Rowan. No explanation, just a hairy dude with a funny name, being reduced to appearing at inopportune moments with no clothes on. It was the (sort of) charming nonsense that could only happen in the Attitude Era.
