10 Times WWE Completely Misunderstood Sexuality

9. Vince Loves C**k

In 2006, Shawn Michaels and Triple H reverted to insufferable childishness for the summer. The reasons, both kayfabe and otherwise, were manifold:

- Harass Vince McMahon, after the boss had spent months trying to sabotage them separately and together

- Stay relevant during a time ECW nostalgia and a growing interest in company history had flooded the WWE crowd with 'member berries at the expense of captivating television in the present day.

- Systematically undercut just about every heel on Monday Night Raw for future ease, with bonus points for any SmackDown star caught in the crossfire.

- Flog t-shirts.

So, in an effort to replicate their genuinely cutting edge verbal assaults on the Chairman back in 1997 for an audience either ten years older or ten years younger, the pair of pillocks took to abusing McMahon with the sort of tricks and japes usually saved for a Nickelodeon show.

Tiring of dropping sh*t on him and 'spray-painting' the DX logo on his plane and place of work, they then got him where it really hurt - his manhood. Messing with his microphone to raise his voice and make fart noises, they then implied he was a homosexual, to Vince's scathing disgust.

Literally doodling over his visage, the ha-ha-larious pair scrawled an 'I Love C*cks' speech bubble next to his head. Then sold a hideous t-shirt about it. Then beat the joke into the ground over and over again. The message was again painfully clear - if you're gay, prepare to suffer ritualistic humiliation.
