10 WWE Attitude Era Moments You Totally Don't Remember
7. The OTHER Time A Woman Was Horribly Debased
Of course, being the Attitude Era, a woman was horribly debased every single week - but there are levels.
Most remember the infamous segment in which Mr. McMahon made Trish Stratus strip to her underwear and bark like a dog, but few remember a similarly vile angle on the July 20, 1998 RAW. You might think that watching a man pretend to administer corporal punishment on an actual child is in horrific taste.
It's even worse when you consider that the actual child was playing his f*ckin' wife.
The events of the previous week were recapped, during which Val Venis revealed that the IRL 17 year-old "Mrs. Yamaguchi-san" had orally pleasured him. In retaliation, her husband made her perform the "crawl of shame"; a "traditional ceremony" in which she had to meekly crawl between his legs as he smacked her on the behind with a paddle. In about the only occasion this word will ever be written in relation to this man, mercifully, Val Venis made the save - but not before the 17 year-old had to bend over and accept this fate.
And, just because the WWF was the worst, a ringside camera operator made sure to get an upskirt shot as Val carried her up the ramp. In WWE, the view never changes.
Erm.
