10 Most CONTROVERSIAL WWE Ruthless Aggression Storylines 

@Rob Picken. Well it runs in the McMahon family because Shane said in a radio interview about 4 years ago that he wouldn’t of mind doing the plan b for that Incest story which was going to be Shane be the father of Stephanie’s baby, because Shane said he finds his sister hot. Well if I had a sister that looked like Steph I wouldn’t mind to 😂

Honestly the crazy and somewhat offensive angles is a big part of what i enjoy about wrestling and also why i can't get into it anymore. It's too plain today, there's no surprises (at least the last time i watched). I know many of the angles of old, wouldn't hold up today and feel wrong, but i still enjoy them. I'm not looking at wrestling to be my moral compass anyway, it's mindless (but fun) entertainment.

@@nu-metalfan2654 Did they do that because I managed to miss it,thank goodness

@@conniecarroll7222 No they didn’t end up doing it.

My question is, what would be the endgame? What exactly was the plan for that angle?

I became a fan during this Era but I wouldn't say it's what made me a wrestling fan. I think I became a fan despite the Ruthless Aggression stuff

you and everyone here

@@Zeus1080p speak for yourself I been a fan since WWF new generation days 123 kid and doink days

@@BrockSamsonVB yeah and I turn 34 on the 24th

.... cool

I hated JBL as a kid but in hindsight he was a brilliant heel character. I wish JBL and Muhammad Hassan had a chance to feud at the time because the promos would've the stuff of legends

then he got stiffed but still yeah

Yes it was and such a shame that he lost that match, especially that match where we were all counting till Hunter was able to pin Booker. Bad match

True but it was the wrong time and the wrong place sadly 😢

*were

Meanwhile I was ten trying to understand everything that was going on LOL

Poor timing and they also.sjpildnt have had him go full terrorist, kinda kills the layers of the character a little

The timing was actually great, especially since it wasn't the stereotypical foreign heel but rather a more intricate character. It was all going well until they decided to do the masked terrorist angle.

Yeah 😢

It likely be better then there back up story Vince’s illegitimate son hornswoggle

We saw how excited Paul London was at the thought Vince McMahon dying 😁

@@Zombiekilleryamato Technically Hornswoggle was a backup of a backup since Mr. Kennedy was going to be the illegitimate son, but Randy Orton and wellness policy happened.

@@elneco4654 the randy orton thing happened a year later

At the time of this thing I was 13 I believe, and while I was aware that wrestling was scripted and all that as I remember things my kid brain didn’t have the awareness or processing ability to grasp that we have technology that can create this video that didn’t actually happen. So as a kid my mind was going wild because I knew it was all show because my family ruined the time period as a kid where you get to believe it’s all real by telling me it was scripted entertainment basically from day 1 of watching but too ignorant of the world to understand how there could be this video where I clearly saw him get in the limo and saw it explode yet it wasn’t real. So as a kid I spent the next week I think it was sitting on the fence I guess where I knew that it couldn’t actually be real but couldn’t grasp the video to fully accept that it wasn’t real. And that week we went on vacation and I remember watching the news in a hotel and seeing the Benoit stuff and seeing Vince speaking and finally having confirmation that it wasn’t real. But it’s even funnier now as an adult to think how wild it was to even do that on the show solely in thinking of the effects on the market it could have for a public entity to even pretend thsy this man who you’ve been saying for years is the key vital piece to your company in your SEC filings died like that. Obviously only a dense adult wouldn’t know it was for the show but even so have to think it swung their share price for a period of time.

Everyone hated JBL for some reason, the man just made every ones skin crawl.

It wasn't pretty but it gave a sense of realism. People aren't perfect and people do dumb things. WWE acting squeaky clean comes off as scripted and fake

WWE do something crazy, I remember the girls on RAW underground and immediately the people tried to cancel WWE for that.

@@DavidRamirez-sh5xd yeah man I remember 🤦🏾‍♂️ these cancel culture SJW and rest should be ashamed of themselves.

@@lewislast8501 WWE going squeaky clean is actually in tune w/ today's politically correct culture. Like it or not, that's reality.

@@jp3813 only to so much of an extent. Even the most righteous amount us have pasts with mistakes and will make mistakes today. Acting like they don't is unrealistic

Same here

Honestly it was the best dark comedy WWE ever did.

Oh shit

It might be the single most distasteful angle in the history of pro wrestling. And Vince Russo wasn't even there to take the heat for it.

@@daleharris3809 top 5.

It's not his fault

That wasn’t controversial

Given everything we just saw...?

Right! The "Eddie's in hell" was just the worst

Because that was in the Attitude Era, this list is about the Ruthless Aggression Era.

No arguments.

You're acting like as if the Attitude Era didn't have any dumb storylines lmao 😂

So you didn’t missed DX doing blackface
