10 WWE Stars Forced To Do Disgusting Things For Storylines

10. Tommy Dreamer - Drinking Tobacco Spit

At present, Tommy Dreamer has been in the news for some pretty disgusting, bafflingly flippant comments made on Dark Side of the Ring. Back in 2002, it wasn't the Innovator of Violence's words that were causing disgust, but more it was his on-screen actions.

This was a time when the Invasion angle had wrapped up, the Alliance had been trampled, and the vast majority of WWE's relatively recent acquisitions from WCW and ECW were struggling for TV time. While certain Alliance names had to earn themselves a spot on the roster, Tommy Dreamer found himself in the most bizarre role of carrying out stomach-turning acts on a weekly basis.

In skits where Dreamer proclaimed himself as "just a regular guy", he'd proceed to do gross sh*t like brushing his teeth with his dog's toothbrush, feast on toilet water, eat hairy hot dogs, and eww-ingly drink a cup of the Undertaker's tobacco spit.

Due to the negative fan response to this gimmick, WWE thankfully dropped it after just a few weeks, but man, it was a rough, rough few weeks for Tommy Dreamer and for those unfortunate souls who had to watch these segments play out on TV.
