10 Times WWE Tried (And Failed) To Be Edgy

5. Tommy Dreamer Mimics Dirty Sanchez

The alt subheading for this was: "Tommy Dreamer Is F*cking Disgusting".

In 2002, WWE's creative team produced some of the worst telly of all the times. There's another example to come later on the list (not Katie Vick - let's skip that for once!), but Dreamer takes centre stage for the time-being. His homage to Jackass/Dirty Sanchez was dreadful stuff.

So, what was the ex-ECW lieutenant up to? Well, Dreamer downed a cup of The Undertaker's tobacco spit, brushed his teeth with the same toothbrush his dog had used and chowed down on his own hair after a visit to the barber shop.

Such shock tactics unsurprisingly failed to get Tommy over with fans. What were they supposed to do? Believe the dude who eats hair had a shot at battling the big boys in main events? It was incredibly forced, and nowhere near as gripping as the silly/foul antics of the MTV regulars.
