10 Disturbing WWE SmackDown Moments You Totally Don't Remember

Following the culmination of a pyscho-sexual relationship-come-family-feud with Dawn Mare (more on that later), Torrie Wilson went moonwalking with Billy Gunn in a last-ditch effort to give both of them something to do on SmackDown's barren mid-2000s midcard.

What followed was one of the weirder takes on 'Indecent Proposal' from WWE's hackneyed history with the trope.

Billy and Torrie were locked in a rivalry with with Jamie Noble and Nidia after a match-to-build-to-a-match resulted in a grim approach from the mega-rich Noble to Wilson. He offered to buy a night with her (that may or may not have included his live-in lover as well), but a flat refusal apparently only made her a more tempting tease. Rape apologists were furnished as usual, with Tazz even noting on commentary that 'sometimes no means yes'.

The ugliness came to a head at Vengeance 2003, where Gunn was defeated by Noble in a match that stipulated Torrie had to sleep with the former Cruiserweight Champion if her charge lost. Suddenly, the harassment victim was presented like a willing fool, with the following week's edition of Smackdown playing host to a p*ss poor porn movie payoff.

Visiting Noble's hotel room for bucketloads of wine and even more bad WWE comedy, Torrie tried to booze her way through it before Nidia and Gunn interjected. This surprise insertion wasn't the last of the night - the story was wrapped in a bow thanks to a late-show reveal of the post-coitus quartet sharing sheets and smiles. It was weird.
