The heralded heights of Attitude did manage to make the then-WWF a hot topic in pop culture granted.

Unfortunately, successors there tricked the company into chasing that controversial reaction,

and well, her madam will born from what culture and these are 10 times WWE tried and failed to be

edgy. Number 10. Brawl for all is real fighting, man. In 1998, Vince Russo convinced Vince McMahon

that having his stars punch one another in their face for real was a great use of valuable

TV time on Raw. It was not. There were several things wrong with trying to latch onto the

shoot-fighting train. Firstly, announcers looked like goons for selling matches and angles elsewhere,

whilst having to repeat that the brawl for all was real. Oh cool, what's the rest of this crap

on watching them? Numerous workers got very real injuries because they were legitimately

got several guys hurt, bored fans to death, and failed to draw in the shoot-fight crowd anyway.

What a waste of sodding time. Number 9. Raw Underground equals Fight Club. Imagine over the top

That is what Raw Bloody Underground was, but it was a clear tribute to Fight Club. You see the

first rule of Raw Underground is that nobody watches Raw Underground. This was something different

for the show back then, sure, but it was a poor replacement for proper character development,

compelling storylines, or literally anything else fans wanted when they tuned into the flagship.

Worse, Shane turned everything comedic by constantly yelling things like

bam, when a punch landed, or, ah, sick, sick, that's sick. Shut up, you absolute bell-end!

Heavy WWE cancelled Underground pretty quickly, and everyone moved on from the experiment,

like it never happened at all. You were the bounce so got a job wrestling.
