10 Stupidest Things WWE Attitude Era Stars Had To Do

1. The Undertaker - Tattoo Santa's A*se

Your writer does not subscribe to whatever brand of insanity it is that encourages fans to leave comments on YouTube screaming into their screens about the Attitude Era.

But.

But, lost in the chaos of those fist-typed missives about PG suxing all the fun out of the product and misogyny ill-obscured by typing "women" in all caps, is a poorly articulated thirst for actual chaos. That - against the ultra-polished and too-slick-for-its-own-good present day WWE - is not an unfair request.

Take this image, for example. This absolutely insane shot of the Undertaker engraving a WWE logo into Santa's a*secheek wasn't because he was taking overdue revenge on a Ted Dibiase project from 1995 nor because he'd mistaken him for Mideon and really enjoyed doing it first time around. No, The Undertaker is scarring St Nick just to flog a few t-shirts.

This shot came from the front of a merchandise catalogue that would later also feature poor Father Christmas going through a table courtesy of the Dudley Boyz, such was your average teen t-shirt fan's lust for seeing the big f*ck get what he apparently deserved, regardless of if he'd been naughty or nice.
