10 WWE Attitude Era Moments You Totally Don't Remember

Alternate slide title: The OTHER OTHER Time A Woman Was Horribly Debased
In order to prove that something fairly awful happened during 1998 every single week, I asked Adam Clery and Adam Wilbourn in the office to pick numbers between 1 and 12 and 1 and 31, respectively.
They chose 8 and 25, leading to me to the closest episode of RAW on the Network: the August 24 edition.
Marc Mero fights Kurrgan, which ends in a schmozz after Jacqueline, in a rastafarian disguise, attacks Sable at ringside. "I thought it might be Ziggy Marley for a minute, but it was Jacqueline" Jim Ross says. Already, things are deeply questionable. In the very next segment, "drunk Hawk" is scripted to break kayfabe at commentary during Southern Justice Vs. New Age Outlawz by talking about no-selling the piledriver in the '80s. Jerry Lawler tuts at his unprofessionalism. In a trivia note, this segment is also the birthplace of Jeff Jarrett's "Don't piss me off" catchphrase.
"You want some WWF Attitude? I'll give it to you," Jarrett said, and he does, by repeating the catchphrase about 10 times in half a minute to get it over.
Later, The Rock propositions Chyna. Jim Ross is disgusted. "She's not an intern, Rock," Ross says, as if...that's OK. The WSJ might want to take a look at this. Seconds later, The Rock motions to forcibly kiss Chyna, before deciding that she's a piece of trash and making Mark Henry do it. Shawn Michaels, dead against that sort of thing, makes the save. Triple H later blasts Taka Michinoku full-force on the head with an unprotected chair shot because he is pissed with...The Rock.
All of this happened, no word of a lie, when idly skipping around a totally random episode of RAW in about 10 minutes.
In order to prove that "fairly awful" was thoroughly mundane in 1998, something from the August 24 RAW warrants the very next, separate entry!
