All in the name of one man's view of purported "entertainment".

Across the decades, WWE has been known for putting its talent through the wringer.

While the gruelling schedule is one way that Vince McMahon's sports entertainment juggernaut has put the screws to its performers, it's certainly not the only way. And here, the focus is on those times that WWE put its talent in positions where they were forced to do something grim and disgusting.

Sure, being put in a ring - or locker room, for that matter - with Bradshaw is one way to trouble a talent, but that's nothing when compared to being forced to eat sh*t and like it in the form of classless segments, repulsive acts and some morally-sickening enforced angles - and all often under the guise of what one man and his cronies think makes for great wrestling television.

If WWE wants to tell a story, it doesn't care what its stars have to do in order to tell the tale envisioned by McMahon and his core crew. But for said stars, some of them have been put in a position where they've had to do some utterly gross things to appease their boss.

With that in mind, then, here are ten such examples of WWE stars having to carry out some truly horrific acts in the name of purported entertainment....

10. Tommy Dreamer - Drinking Tobacco Spit

At present, Tommy Dreamer has been in the news for some pretty disgusting, bafflingly flippant comments made on Dark Side of the Ring. Back in 2002, it wasn't the Innovator of Violence's words that were causing disgust, but more it was his on-screen actions.

This was a time when the Invasion angle had wrapped up, the Alliance had been trampled, and the vast majority of WWE's relatively recent acquisitions from WCW and ECW were struggling for TV time. While certain Alliance names had to earn themselves a spot on the roster, Tommy Dreamer found himself in the most bizarre role of carrying out stomach-turning acts on a weekly basis.

In skits where Dreamer proclaimed himself as "just a regular guy", he'd proceed to do gross sh*t like brushing his teeth with his dog's toothbrush, feast on toilet water, eat hairy hot dogs, and eww-ingly drink a cup of the Undertaker's tobacco spit.

Due to the negative fan response to this gimmick, WWE thankfully dropped it after just a few weeks, but man, it was a rough, rough few weeks for Tommy Dreamer and for those unfortunate souls who had to watch these segments play out on TV.
