When Brother Love asked, “what sort of favors have YOU been doing for Jack Tunney, Miss Elizabeth?” I remember seeing that segment on the WWE Network live stream and thinking, “oh shit, he did NOT just imply what I think he implied!” (I started following wrestling in 1992, so I missed out on the more questionable ‘80s stuff.)

Sherri attempting to seduce Ultimate Warrior into giving Randy Savage a title shot at Royal Rumble ‘91, to the point that it looked like she was gonna give him a blowjob on live PPV.

The Mountie flipping the bird at SummerSlam that same year, and the implication that he was in for a long night when he met his cell mate.

This one isn’t WWE, but Paul Heyman saying that, “the only sacrifices women make is when they’re 16 in their boyfriend’s car” during his feud with Madusa.

If this is for any promotion:

Hawk talking about their dicks and how he was going to sodomize Ric Flair all night long.

Roddy Piper’s promo on the Mountie where the Mountie says he’s going to take hims manhood: “I came here to fight, I don’t know what you came to do” and ends it with “you’ve been dreaming….and I think it’s all wet too!”

Vader brutalizing Cactus Jack constantly

Terry Funk puts a bag over Flair’s head

Pillman's got a gun, anyone?

[government mule]

'96 Goldust, particularly the OJ car chase

Hogan's bleeding on multiple occasions. I wonder if the lack of a hairline on the forehead means he blades too deep or if he just has really tender skin up there but the lightest chairshots had him looking like Carrie at prom. WM7 a notable example.

Roddy Piper wearing blackface at Wrestlemania VI.

There actually were a lot of Non-PG moments and promos on WWF and NWA back in the day, but they were phrased in a way that adults would pick up on it. In the Attitude Era, they stated it in a way a 12 year old would understand.

I remember a random funny commentary moment in 1988

Gorilla: "The Jumping Bomb Angels shocked the world a while back on national television when they stripped...

Heenan: "WHAT!?"

Gorilla:"...the titles from the Glamour Girls...""

Heenan:"....oh"

Attitude Era Pre '97 is an oxymoron.

[MolotovMocktail]

While not outright said, it was pretty obvious Slick was supposed to be a pimp and Razor Ramon a drug dealer.

[Aceorton]

I think we all knew what Savage was really saying when he said that Hogan lusted after Elizabeth.

Several of the things Piper said about Adonis were also alarmingly frank for 1986, and certainly do not age well.

Steve Allen at WM6: "I like Jimmy Snuka because he's wearing my wife's underwear."

Bob Uecker at WM3: "I think there's a lot of Beaver all over this place." [Gorilla struggles to suppress a giggle]

[Stone Coke Miami Watson 🥃]

Macho Man ramming the ring bell on Steamboat’s throat and crushing his larynx…Steamboat’s selling made that look brutal!

[FHgrad99]

Eddie Gilbert running over Jerry Lawler with a car in the parking lot in Memphis in 1990.

Shawn Michaels & Razor Ramon’s ladder match at WM X. While this type of match would become more common during the AE, it hadn’t really been done to speak of in WWF to that point. Plus Shawn had the “moon spot” in the match.

This one was more on the doorstep of the AE, but the Bret Hart/Davey Boy Smith match at IYH Dec. ‘95. It was quite bloody for its time.

91-92 was basically the original Attitude Era. Undertaker locking Warrior in the casket, Earthquake killing Damien, Bret getting shocked by Mountie's cattle prod after getting a bucket of water dumped on him, Jake sicking the cobra on Savage's arm, Jake slapping Elizabeth, Shawn slamming Marty's head through the Barber Shop Window, Flair making allegations that he used to bang Elizabeth, Berzerker trying to stab Undertaker with his sword, Boss Man getting brutally pummeled with his own nightstick by Nailz, all of the stuff with Papa Shango (giving Warrior stomach pain and making him throw up, setting jobbers feet on fire, making goo come out of people's heads).

It was a really dark and violent time. Especially for a product that was supposed to be catered to kids around that time.

This. It was cartoony hardcore violence, but still scary for pre-teen fans.

Other examples...hmmmmmm.....

Big Mama basically being a prostitute (there was the segment where Jimmy Valiant gives her to Dusty, and she says she'll do anything he wants)
Paul E's rant at Halloween Havoc '92
Jamison meets a porn star on The Bobby Heenan Show
Sensational Sherri taking beatings from male faces, sometimes involving being stripped too.
Can we just say ECW in general?
USWA having several violent acts against women in the late '80s and early 90s (usually involving Toni Adams)
Eric Embry gets hit with a baseball bat and coughs up blood (also USWA)
Global teasing a photo implying John Tatum and Rod Price were gay
Ric Flair promos in general
The Precious/Kevin Sullivan stuff
Satanic Kevin Sullivan
Mud matches in WCCW
Wrestling magazines advertising apartment wrestling videos
Dirty White Girl claims she was abused, it was a trap against Tom Pritchard.

Remember Martel's promos for Arrogance? "One shot and you're in the box."

Rick Rude trying to bang Jake Roberts’ wife Cheryl. Jake responds by stripping Rude nude when he wore tights with Cheryl’s face on the crotch.

Would Sgt. Slaughter as a Saddam Hussein sympathizer count count as non-PG?

I believe Tatanka and Bam Bam Bigelow had a brawl in 93 that borderlined on hardcore. They even had to get the backstage crew out to seperate them.

Also, who can forget this moment....
