10 WWE Attitude Era Moments You Totally Don't Remember

10. The Forgotten Vince Russo Gimmick Match

The old wrestling adage - "If the wrestler name looks weird on the WrestleMania marquee, then it's probably sh*t" - can be applied to a long-forgotten and clinically braindead Vince Russo stipulation.

Think of WWE "gimmick" pay-per-views. They're not universally beloved or anything, but the event names are still cool/marketable and don't read as very stupid.

WWE TLC.

WWE Hell In A Cell.

WWE Cast?!

That makes WWE Fatal 4-Way seem as cool as WWE No Ropes Exploding Barbed Wire Double Hell Death, and it never crossed Vince Russo's mind that it was incredibly stupid. Of course it didn't.

Wildly, this wasn't some brain-wormed one-off midcard experiment; it took place between two of the biggest stars of WWE's hottest period ever in The Rock and Triple H on June 7, 1999.

In retaliation for injuring Mankind, Triple H - the heel - was forced to wear a cast by Mr. McMahon, who played babyface at the time (before naturally swerve-turning later that very night). He could barely move as Rock, his arm in a cast, was able, as the babyface, to use it as a weapon.

Match went two minutes before the Undertaker interfered.

The Attitude Era was mostly terrible.
