10 Raw Moments WWE Wants You To Forget

In a way, you kind of have to admire the bare-faced honesty of WWE's short-lived "Hot Lesbian Action" skits in 2002. Eric Bischoff essentially came out and told viewers that he was exploiting sex for the express purpose of pulling in better ratings.

Everything else about the angle left fans feeling a little cheap, though. It felt sleazy and tasteless, and on top of which it seemed to feed into the stereotype of wrestling fans as basement-dwelling, sex-starved teenagers.

In any case, what they did in the ring - thankfully, if you happened to be watching with mum and dad - wasn't even particularly raunchy. The fact that Bischoff derived such pleasure from it was perhaps, more than anything, evidence that he had yet to discover the internet.

Now that WWE has finally embraced its female performers as wrestlers instead of mere bikini models and occasional figures or ridicule, it's unlikely that anything like this would fly today - not without Charlotte and co coming to the ring and putting the Raw GM through a table, anyway.
