#4 The Heidenreich angle
Oh Where do we start with this one!!
Heidenreich briefly worked for WWE in 2004, and for a brief while it seemed like he could actually be a moderately big deal in the company. He even got written into a feud with the Undertaker.
The WWE ran a ridiculous angle where it was heavily implied Heidenreich raped Michael Cole in the bathroom during a SmackDown taping. (Not one of WWE’s high points and I’m sure not one of Cole’s either).
Heidenreich was seen pressing Cole against a wooden wall and pressing up against him. Heidenreich also told Cole he knew he wanted it and liked it as much as he did. This was one of the worst angles WWE had put out there and Micheal Cole was the main man involved in it.Cole whimpered and cried throughout the attack. Even if you didn’t like Cole, you couldn’t but feel sorry for him.
The mastermind behind this highly uncomfortable moment was none other than Vince McMahon himself.
Any surprises there?
