8. 3-Minute Warning Nearly Break A Woman In Half
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=505E8TzU7m8 Jamal and Rosey, collectively known as 3-Minute Warning, made quite an impact on Raw in the early days of the Ruthless Aggression Era. Their whole gimmick revolved around storming the ring at random times (at the behest of Eric Bischoff) to utterly destroy whoever was unfortunate enough to be in there at the time. For the most part, they were a fairly entertaining part of the program, even if they did have that pseudo-Goldbergian element to them. But leave it to Bischoff to take the angle one giant leap too far, and eventually they wandered into an uncomfortable territory, where a big part of their schtick involved dismantling women in more and more disturbing fashion. Remember the dark period of the Dudley Boyz career where they got off on powerbombing women through tables? Yeah, this was much, much worse than that. They brutalized everyone from Lillian Garcia to the geriatric Moolah and Mae Young, dropping them with full force strikes and slams. The most savage beating was dished out to a pair of fragile-looking 'lesbians' who Bischoff had coaxed into stripping down to their lingerie and making out in the middle of the ring. Jamal and Rosey stormed the ring, and Jamal promptly gave one of them a chest-crushing kick to the sternum (seriously, that had to break something). Then Rosey hoisted the other over his head like she's an actual rag doll and began taunting the crowd, threatening to toss her outside the ring. But that would have been gentle compared to what he actually did, tossing her to Jamal, who performed a devastating backdrop, seemingly landing with all of his weight on her tiny little frame. It remains one of the most disgusting, exploitative moments in company history and doesn't get any easier to take in.
