10 Most Desperate Ways WWE Got You To Watch
1. Hot Lesbian Action
Once more for those in the back: there was no such thing as the 'Ruthless Aggression Era'.
It is a made-up thing.
Vince said that phrase for about a week as WWE continued to operate under the same format and in the same tone as the Attitude Era. Fed programming was still a cheap, tawdry and unsophisticated attempt to appeal to adolescent males. It was in poorer taste and even hornier than the events of 1998. In 1998, at least Sable was presented as a character you could get behind. She was put down by her overbearing husband. There was a purpose to the character, even if she existed to give Jerry Lawler an erection.
In contrast, 'Hot Lesbian Action' was a far more naked ratings grab. That was the purpose of a segment conceived by Eric Bischoff in storylines as a publicity stunt. They said the quiet part loud.
"The Invasion disappointed many of you, but cheer up: we've hired two women to lick each other out, so...keep watching!"
They created a special logo for it and everything, in which two women-shaped silhouettes rubbed their asses together.
"Are their p*ssies next?
Stay tuned live on Spike!"
Gross anti-wrestling: then, now, forever.
