1. Give Mae A Hand - RAW 2000
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c36qKzPx6RI When the Katie Vick storyline infected WWE television in 2002, the story at least made sense. It had a beginning, a middle and end, no matter how horrifically bad all three of those parts were. Mae Young's pregnancy angle at the turn of the century did not. First, she was way, WAY too old to conceive a child. Second, the necessary time had not passed between inception and delivery. Third, when she finally did give birth, she gave birth to a hand. That's right, a hand. Not a child with an abnormally large hand or even a baby with a hand for a head. She delivered an ADULT HAND. There is no excuse for such stupidity. It insults the intelligence of the audience and makes the product the laughing stock of the entertainment industry. Which is a shame because the angle occurred at a time when WWE was on their hottest streak ever from a quality standpoint. To have such as black mark on such a golden period of time is inexcusable. Especially when it seems as though the only purpose for such a astonishingly bad angle is to make Jerry Brisco puke on live TV. The very definition of a WTF moment.
