10 Most Brutal Acts Of Wrestling Revenge
9. "Choppy Choppy Your Pee-Pee!"
A Rated R update on the New Generation occupational gimmick trope, Val Venis was the WWF's resident porn star in 1998. Dropping both loads and foes alike, the Venis character presented the creative staff with a new means of crafting storylines; instead of sneak attacks or undefeated streaks, Val simply slept with the wives and girlfriends of the roster.
One such laaaady was Shian-Li Tsang, the wife of Kaientai stable manager Yamaguchi-san, though how this came about is something of a mystery. Vince McMahon was later bemused to discover, from Jim Ross, that Asian pornography was a popular genre, and yet, he was convinced to present Tsang as a love interest here. Perhaps his love of problematic comedy accents superseded his ignorance of the wider world.
This storyline was pitched by Vince Russo, presumably; this doesn't seem like a Jim Cornette idea. Then again, since vengeance was taken against a wrestler famous for his penis by hacking said penis off, it reads like one of his fever dreams. Yes: after Venis had his way with Tsang, Yamaguchi-san decided to seek his vengeance by "choppy chopping" Val's c*ck off. It didn't happen, obviously; Venis explained that he was shaved by both shrinkage and the emergency surgical help of friend John Wayne Bobbitt, whose pee-pee had been chopped off back in '93.
Though commonplace today as a result of Stephanie McMahon's popularisation of it, this penectomy angle was shocking by the standards of the time.
