Long after Kurt Angle had imposed his physical will upon the bulk of the WWE roster with his devastating array of submissions and holds, he turned his attention to Booker T's wife Sharmell in a hideous storyline extenuated by a misspoken line about wanting 'bestiality sex' with Mrs. Spinaroonie.

The infamous threat came just weeks after Booker had dared to cost Kurt a shot at the WWE Title. Repeated threats of rape and assault were deemed fair turnabout, as Angle cynically espoused his love for 'gutter sluts'.

Seriously for a minute, what the absolute f*ck was going on? WWE were playing fast and loose with the 'Wrestling Machine', just as he was with Sharmell herself. Grabbing her and attempting to physically violate her in the infamous storyline's gross conclusion, pinning her with her legs over her head and...winning the feud?!

Yes, though Kurt had been a sadistic sex offender for the duration of the tale, he was given a major victory whilst the pair fought it out in a grisly handicap match. Admittedly, the two had one last match in them, but it was more to transition Angle to his anti-ECW angle with Tazz than it was to continue their rivalry. Kurt had already done his worst.
