10 Shocking WWE Angles That Crossed The Line
5. Angle/Booker
Kurt Angle and Booker T have fought numerous times over the years on both Raw and SmackDown, as well during their spell in TNA. However, for some, their rivalry will forever be remembered for the bizarre antics of their feud in 2005.
When Booker and Kurt crossed paths on SmackDown in mid '05, the rivalry quickly took a sinister turn. Angle was placed in the role of the leering pervert, ogling after Booker's wife, Sharmell, who had been accompanying her husband to ringside at the time.
This degenerated into storyline sexual harassment, with WWE even going as far as to have Angle label Sharmell a "gutter s**t" in his promos. Naturally, this led to a match at Judgement Day 2005, with one PO'd Booker T looking to gain a measure of revenge.
Sadly, the build up also included one of the most notorious SmackDown episodes ever on 12 May, in which Angle left his match with Booker to pay Sharmell a visit backstage. Sharmell was heard screaming behind closed doors with Angle, implying he was assaulting her.
This was also the same episode that included an interview where Angle declared his vice was "gutter s**ts" and that he would like to have "perverted sex" with Sharmell. The whole storyline was very awkward and unsettling, two ingredients that don't translate well to pro wrestling.
