When DX pretended to gang-rape Stephanie to get to Vince. Genuinely disgusting to watch Say what now?! There was a segment in late October/November 1999 where DX had an actress pretend to be Stephanie and DX made those insinuations.

Let's try another one. Is any of the sexuality in WWE history remotely classy? Miss Elizabeth, she was always presented as classy Miss Elizabeth was a beautiful lady, but for some reason even thinking about her in a sexual way is like thinking of my mom or my sister. There's no sex appeal there. Now, Sweet Sapphire is another story.

Watching 60 something year old Vince McMahon making out with 20 year old women wrestlers as part of "stories" while he had the ability to make or break their careers on a whim.

Jerry Lawler freaked out over the word "Puppies" for the first time and I, a horny teenager never wanted to see half naked ladies on my wrestling show again. Nothing quite takes the fun out of things like a gross old man going "wink wink nudge nudge"

Nothing quite takes the fun out of things like a gross old man going "wink wink nudge nudge" That was always the weird thing for me about WWE sexuality. Teenage me could spend all night watching...things...on the Internet, but simultaneously thought the WWE's version was gross and offputting.

It's always been uncomfortable and tacky as hell.
I watch wrestling to see wrestling. The idea of possibly seeing a woman in a bikini or some PG-13 rated sexual situation was not even a draw for me as a teenager, considering that the internet is a thing that exists.

For real. I was never, ever a fan of Lawler on commentary, but him constantly being two seconds away from cranking one out at the announce table was pretty much the easiest way to make me not want to see any of the so-called titillation that WWE was trying to present.

Miss Elizabeth, she was always presented as classy Miss Elizabeth was a beautiful lady, but for some reason even thinking about her in a sexual way is like thinking of my mom or my sister. There's no sex appeal there. Now, Sweet Sapphire is another story. The sex appeal was there, no doubt about that. The difference was that Miss Elizabeth was also the kind of virtuous beautiful woman who made you want to be worthy of her. The call to chivalry that she represented in WWE is what drove Savage to his face turn, pulled Hogan into the role of us (the fans) as Savage turned heel again, held our attention to Savage during her rare appearances from 1989-1991, and then her return to Savage's side at WMVII. Compared to this, her kayfabe treatment in WCW was akin to putting her in a _Hustler_ spread at gunpoint. She was degraded by Eric Bischoff and later Russo's booking, to the point where it seemed that even her WWE legacy felt corrupted. Blame "lout culture" of the late 1990s for that, but she could have wiped the floor with Sable had someone in WCW thought to remind themselves and her that she didn't need to become yet another Jezebel.

I never saw her as a Jezebel in WCW. Even her 'sexy' outfits were extremely conservative. To me, she looked hot and modern but still carried herself with dignity. I actually preferred her in WCW, because she seemed formidable and actually viable in a manager capacity, no longer merely the delicate damsel in distress. I agree that her lows were much lower in WCW with Russo putting her in the ring, but everybody hit their lowest under Russo.

These are my opions alone
Sable - Sable was made a star by WWE, her ego was out of control, being asked to bare her breasts and do lesbian angles were pushing it, she wasnt comfortable and she declined, fair enough, but lets face it she did those angles when she returned so money was more appealing than her morals
Annual Playboy Spreads - They were paid more than they made in WWE, it was their own decisions
Billy and Chuck - It wasn't the first homoerotic angle in wrestling history, of course it doesn't age well now, but I dont think it was anywhere near the line
Dawn Marie and Al Wilson - Trashy soap opera stuff, it was just a storyline, was it really offensive? Tacky yes, offensive, nah
HLA - This was desperate, very desperate, and it shows, but they at least used it to get 3MW over
Meat and PMS Val Venis Jeff Jarrett Misogynist Sammy and Mark Henry Chyna and Mark Henry Sexual Chocolate
^ All tacky storylines tapping into the Jerry Springer generation, it fit for the time, doesnt age well, not particularly "offensive"
Mae Young - More desperation, and didn't make any sense whatsoever - totally unfunny joke, I was never offended but I certainly didnt find it funny, it just made me question the writers sanity
Debra's Puppies - It was just a nickname
The line was crossed at Katie Vick though, that was beyond tasteless.

Not sure if this image helps or hurts my previous claim about Ivory in the RTC being Sexy yet classy.

I never had a “tipping point” moment with the sexual Attitude segments, I was just bored with most of it and preferred it when the women got to wrestle and compete like normal. Half the time I was just missing Bull Nakano. Trish and Lita were gorgeous but I liked them as performers as opposed to just starting at the pinups.

I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I was aghast at seeing a woman in her underwear or a bikini. But the Trish “bark like a dog” thing was an exception. It’s not even fair to call that sexual. It was cruel and exploitative. It was Vince using a story line to display the kind of power he actually has.
