7. Christy Hemme Put A Phrase On WWE's 'Do Not Say' List

Despite Paul Heyman's best attempts to turn Raw's male roster into a cuck-heavy wasteland of Attitude era controversy, don't expect to hear the words, "C*m-burping gutterslut" on WWE TV (the 'C' word has been censored for your delicate eyes, but the 'g' into 's' one hasn't for shock value).

That's a relic best kept back in 2004.

On the 30 August 2004 episode of Raw, Christy Hemme barked that insult at fellow Diva Search contestant Carmella DeCesare, and it caused a mini-meltdown behind the curtain. Bruce Prichard, speaking via his podcast, said that Hemme said the line so fast few at Gorilla heard it. When they did, there was uproar, and both women were chastised later.

Further, "c*m-burping gutterslut" was placed on a strict, 'Do Not Say' list by WWE officials. That's something that stands to this day, meaning you won't hear anything more risqué than "b*tch" or tame insinuations of promiscuity on the programme.
