5. Tom Cole Buries The WWF
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCq8t5rDhVQ All of this is really disgusting. Tom Cole was a young ring attendant for WWE when he hurled charges against the company that resulted in the resignation of three long-time employees and helped fuel a sex scandal that would blight the WWE for years. Cole went public in 1992 with a series of claims of sexual wrongdoing. He claimed that a WWE official had attempted to seduce him two years earlier when he was 19, that another had grabbed his buttocks, and that he had been sexually harassed at the age of 13 by a part-time ring announcer who allegedly targeted youngsters from broken homes and troubled backgrounds. The names of Mel Phillips and Pat Patterson were heavily linked to the trial which was settled with Cole being awarded $55,000. Phillips was sacked while Patterson still works for the company today.
