Before he was forcing himself upon women of the WWE locker room, Kane was trying to electrocute Shane McMahon's special parts. As ludicrous a sentence as that is, it's nonetheless true; Kane attempted to fry Shane's testicles on the September 1, 2003 episode of Raw.

McMahon was feuding with a freshly unmasked Kane due to an attack on his mother, Linda, by the maniac heel. Attempting to fend off the monster and protect his family, Shane found himself in quite the predicament. Kane literally hooked up jumper cables to his rival's nuts and tried to electrocute them. Rob Van Dam would come to Shane's aid and stop the BBQ.

The idea was sound enough, since WWE were trying to portray Kane as a sadistic psychopath who would do everything he could to inflict pain. This particular segment was so bizarre though that fans actually seemed disappointed when RVD saved Shane. People were intrigued to see just how far WWE would let things go.

Oddly, Kane appeared to be enjoying proceedings a little too much. It was the kind of wrestling television that's incredibly embarrassing to watch with those who don't 'get' the industry.
