Randy Savage vs. Dennis Rodman.
This was during Savages 1999 midlife crisis, woman beater period. Then you had the feud with Rodman where he forcibly kidnapped Savages partner, Gorgeous George, and claimed he'd had sex with her during that time. So who the f*** do you cheer for in that scenario?

Goldust vs. Ahmed Johnson. That one was very homophobic. Who was homophobic? Fans or Ahmed in the storyline? Ahmed really wasn't presented that way, and neither was Razor months earlier. Razor actually cut a promo on Raw where he basically politely turned down Goldust, then only got physical when Goldust wouldn't stop. |

I'm as a big a Piper fan as they come and I genuinely believe his reasoning that he was going for something nuanced and clever (he spoke at length about Cyndi Lauper and true colours etc being his thinking behind this) but yeah the execution was terrible. |

I think that tends to get lost when people look back at the Original Goldust run: Razor/Ahmed didn't just randomly decide to just jump on him for no reason, Goldust WAS touching people inappropriately and sending Razor sexually harrasing letters. |

Oh lord. If they did that storyline today, 90% of it would be vignettes of them all in HR, with the HR drones being all "Yes, he may have touched you inappropriately, but you weren't considering his feelings and what he has to go through as a living, breathing Oscar statue... Razor and Ahmed, you're fired, and Goldust, you're assigned to sensitivity training." |

Piper vs Mr. T. Piper cut a lot of racially charged promos back then that will probably never see the light of day again.

Roddy Piper vs. Adrian Adonis, just watching the Piper's Pit vs. Flower Shop segment where they jump Piper and a lot of the stuff said would never get on TV.

The Brian Pillman/Goldust angle, heck, people in 1997 were calling it out. Surprisingly, I think that you could still get away with Virgi/Dibiase, since Virgil still wins in the end.

The way they do things now, I'd see Virgil getting his match, losing in 7 minutes and the following Raw showing DiBiase having Vigril's childhood home bulldozed as his mother cried in the backround |
