I think, a bit objectively, the worst things your parents could ever walk in on are all RA bullshit - Katie Vick, Heidenrape, and present-day conservative activist and moralist/fired sex creep Big Dick Johnson

Did your Dad forbid you to read/watch Harry Potter, or anything like that? (I'm genuinely curious, not asking to be a jerk, I find different upbringings fascinating) I was never into Harry Potter, but anything with wizards, witches, demons, etc. was pretty much forbidden. My parents were not very consistent though because I listened to hard rock music with the filthiest lyrics and they never batted an eye. Just no Ozzy or Metallica or AC/DC because those guys were obviously Satanic? In their defense, my parents have both mellowed out a lot over the years. Their child raising days just happened to coincide with the Satanic Panic. I grew up in the 80's when that Panic was being pushed hard by the media as well. My Dad was very religious, but really cool about it, and my Mom wasn't religious at all so I was free to listen to Prince and Metallica, and read Stephen King, and watch all the horror my little heart could take. Glad to hear they mellowed out, but yeah, things were pretty crazy back in the day. Well I guess things are pretty crazy today as well since Drag Queens are apparently the new target demo for fear mongering, but hopefully that blows over too.

Late 2002 in general. Katie Vick. HLA. Al Wilson. Some of the stuff TNA was doing at the time too.

SummerSlam 2000. Thong stinkface match. Try explaining to someone not only what is happening but that this is how you win a match.

I finally talked my dad into sitting down and watching wrestling with me. The night Kane electrocuted Shane McMahons testicles. He got up and left room and never watched it again. Nor did I try to get him to

When I was a teenager in the 90's I got a bunch of ECW VHS tapes for Christmas. Later that Christmas day a bunch of aunts, uncles and cousins came over for the holiday dinner thing and took over the living room. My parents bedroom was the only other room in the house with a VCR so I went in there to watch some of the tapes. I guess I nodded off doing so because the next thing I know I'm being shocked awake by my Aunt who walked into the bedroom practically screaming "what are you watching?". I look at the television and it's Beulah McGillicutty sauntering around the ring in a skimpy outfit before getting clotheslined by Bill Alfonso. Now the rest of the house thinks I'm watching some kind of weird porn and I swear the last thing I remember seeing was Rey Misterio vs. Psichosis.

Paul Bearer was a huge George Jones fan and ended up meeting him, becoming close friends with some of his band members, etc. Whenever things worked out in everyone’s schedules, Paul would get these friends tickets to WWE shows because they were big fans. He got them tickets to the Raw where they did the Katie Vick thing. Paul was mortified and called them the next day to apologize, saying, “I’m sorry you had to see that, because I’m sorry that I saw it.” Not quite family walking in, but it’s the first thing that popped into my head. It’s definitely a moment that works. Same way. I felt bad watching it, I can only imagine someone walking in seeing it.

Coming into the room and seeing these things without context would be something:
I CHOPPY CHOPPY YOUR PEE PEE
The Funeral Home with Katie Vick & "Kane"
Boogeyman eating anything
Heidenreich & Cole in the Room of Sodom

For most people, it just being wrestling would be enough to have them look at you side-eyed. 😉
Luckily my family were fans way back. My dad watched Billy Goelz vs. Gypsy Joe (Dorsetti) a lot. Loved Sailor Art Thomas. My mom's brother had a shirt torn by Angelo Poffo when he booed him. My aunt (mom's brother's wife) was almost run over in the smoker's stairwell by the Crusher as he chased down Baron Von Raschke. Even my mom loved Bobby Heenan and "Rowdy Roddy" begging off the good guys.

When Bret Hart got pissed that he lost that match on Raw and used the phrase "GOD DAMN" on Raw. My dad was a preacher and happened to be there for this and he ordered me to turn the channel. Dad also made me turn the channel when Papa Shango was on.I used to turn the sound down on the TV whenever Papa Shango or the Undertaker came out because I thought my religious Mom would make turn off the tv because it was too scary/"demonic" Then one time she was already in the room when they cut to a Undertaker/Paul Bearer promo and my Mom busted a gut in response to Bearer's over the top, hammy acting before she walked out the room impersonating Bearer still laughing herself stupid

My dad, who has a notoriously weak stomach, happened to walk in on a fan licking dog food off of Tiger Ali Singh's lackey's feet, and immediately hurled on the living room floor.
