Following the end of the WCW/ECW 'Alliance' angle, WWE were seeking ways to freshen up many of the characters involved. One of those men was Tommy Dreamer. The McMahon family weren't content to let him live off of his ECW fame in the promotion, they wanted to develop their own gimmick for him. Unfortunately, what they came up with was nauseating. All of a sudden, the hardcore wrestler was prone to grossing people out by eating and drinking absolutely anything he could get his hands on. Maybe the organisation were trying to piggy back on the success of shows like Jackass, which featured the hosts doing all manner of gruesome and dangerous things. Whatever WWE were searching for, they didn't find it. Over the span of the character's run, Dreamer drank various suspect liquids. He also decided to eat his own hair following a trip to the barber's shop. Worst of all, he even drank The Undertaker's tobacco spit cup live on Monday Night Raw. Even 'The Deadman' looked like he was about to be sick upon witnessing his peer agree to the stunt. It's not even clear whether or not Dreamer was supposed to be heel or babyface, he was just a revolting guy. What other wrestling angles can you think of that were disgusting?
