The True Lurid Story Of Free WWE UK Pay-Per-Views

It's not as if the WWF were no longer allowed to sell the dangers. But they knew exactly what they were going for, with that particular tone, and the profoundly grim "Well...onto the t*ts" precedent had already been set.

And the t*ts would materialise, but first, the Hardy Boyz defeated the Dudleys in a demented and frantic stunt-show. This was the first WWE Tables match, and the excellently timed and super-brutal action was laced with the prevailing feeling that these things could - and often did - go too far. It was electrifying, but also terrifying.

Onto the t*ts!

Mae Young then "won" a swimsuit contest, in which Jacqueline performed said bounce, Terri Runnels wore a thong so tiny it was practically invisible, BB shook it like a polaroid, The Kat wore a bubble wrap bikini that Jerry Lawler in dire connotations wished to pop, and, in the closing sight gag, the elderly Mae Young arrived on the scene as a last-minute contestant. She aggressively dry-humped midair before revealing the prosthetics. At least she was up for it. Ivory unmistakably was not, illuminating just how degrading all of this was.

Remarkably, for about 15 solid minutes, the pay-per-view calmed the f*ck down, not that man-on-woman violence was considered a break from the "sick filth" by the broadcaster.
