5 Reasons WWE's Attitude Era was overrated

#3 The Attitude Era was home to some unsavory, sleazy storylines

The Attitude Era may have given us Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mr. McMahon, but it also gave us some of the most cringe-worthy moments not just in WWE history, but all of professional wrestling.

First, you had Val Venis, the wrestling p*rnstar with a not so subtle last name. He would be the victim of a near-castration by Asian street gang Kaientai, and was only saved by tabloid headline mainstay John Wayne Bobbit.

Then there was the matter of the Godfather, the wrestling pimp who would peddle flesh in an attempt to get his opponents to forfeit their matches.

Lest we forget, there was also the matter of Mark Henry losing his 'World's Strongest Man' designation in favor of "Sexual Chocolate.' As part of his storyline he would be romantically involved with an eighty year old Mae Young, impregnate her, and then watch as she gave birth to a hand.

Next time you want to brag about how great the Attitude Era was, we suggest you remember moments like the above.
