10 Wrestling Angles That'll Make You Puke

5. Heidenreich Takes A Liking To Michael Cole

Jon Heidenreich remains everything that was once wrong with WWE's signing policy. The man was extremely limited as an in-ring performer, and the promotion felt the best way to book him was to make him flat out weird. Initially, he carried a doll around with him, called 'Little Johnny'. When that was canned, he was handed a feud against The Undertaker. All of a sudden, WWE cast the man as someone who would pen poetry. Naming these verses, 'Disasterpieces', Heidenreich decided he wanted to read one to Smackdown's lead announcer. Kidnapping Michael Cole on an episode of the show in 2004, the monstrous wrestler literally pinned the diminutive commentator up against a wall and pretty much sexually assaulted him. By far, this was one of the most disturbing scenes fans had ever witnessed on wrestling television. It wasn't even contextual, because it didn't further Heidenreich's beef with The Undertaker. Instead of making him appear psychotic, it simply made people watching feel uncomfortable. Let's hope nobody chose that edition of Smackdown to introduce a non-wrestling buddy to WWE.
