12. Heidenreich Rapes(?) Michael Cole - SmackDown 2004

Oh goodness, this. On a 2004 episode of SmackDown, Heidenreich suddenly kidnapped Michael Cole from the announcers' table (or €œthe announce table€ in WWE parlance) and dragged him to an undisclosed location in the bowels of the arena. Well, the cameraman followed them, but he didn't intervene. Maybe Heidenreich threatened him. Anyway, when we visit them for the first time, Heidenreich is behind Cole, who he's pinned up against a wall. While talking about desires and giving Cole €œwhat he wants,€ he repeatedly thrusts against him, and ostensibly, the inference is that he's raping him. The show cuts away, and when it comes back, Heidenreich throttles Cole while speechifying more poetry, before shoving him out of the mysterious room and into a hallway.While he noted that the word "rape" was never used when the angle was pitched to him, Heidenreich claimed that €œVince McMahon came up with it in a dream one night.€ I'm sure he did.
