As if meetings were called solely to come up with new ways to shock the audience (which they probably were back then), the 'Live Sex Celebration' performed by Edge and Lita on the 9 January 2006 remains one of the most out-there segments WWE have ever produced on Monday Night Raw.

Oh yeah, and one of Lita's breasts was clearly visible on screen for a few seconds, just in case anybody was flicking through channels and stopped clicking buttons because they thought they'd found Babestation.

Imagine any WWE female being involved in something like this today; it just wouldn't fly in an era of political correctness and female revolutions. Naturally, that's a good thing, because this entire angle was a horrendous example of taking things too far.

Jim Cornette said it best during one outburst, the legend claiming people tune into wrestling to see wrestling. Surely not?
