How different the world might have been if Raven never offended the Christians...

How different the world might have been if Raven never offended the Christians... ... Or if Kurt Angle wasn't a hypocrite (he had no problems staying employed with WWE after the Undertaker ripped off the ECW crucifixion angle). |

Kurt himself has said he wasn't even offended by the Raven/Sandman bit. WWE spiced it up a bit.
Miss Galatea: You spent a little bit of time in ECW before going to the WWF; tell us what happened when they ran the crucifiction angle with Raven and The Sandman.
Angle: I was a motivational speaker at the time. Corporations, universitys, elementary schools. I didn't want to be portrayed as a person like this… it's not that I was against what they did. I understand, It's sports entertainment. They do what they do and try to make it effective, whether it's good, bad or evil. They have a plan I wasn't offended as a part of the show, I was offended as an individual, because of the position I was in at the time. I just wanted to make sure that it didn't go on the air when I was on there. I wasn't interested in sports entertainment at the time.
That's from an IGN interview back in September of 2000.

Yeah Kurt was with WWE when the Austin/Taker one happened, but he wouldn't end up being on TV until 5 to 6 months after. He was doing dark matches for at least a year after he had signed (which Powerslam magazine said that didn't look good for his future career...i'm glad they were wrong).
