10 Most Controversial WWE Attitude Era Storylines

8. Wifebeater Chaz

Of all the touchy subjects that WWE have handled in the past, domestic violence and, erm, inter-familial relations are two that they shouldn’t have touched with a pole. 

I shouldn’t mention those two things and poles in the same sentence, actually. Might give Vince Russo ideas…

Anyway, luckless Chaz Warrington was blessed with having a storyline that dealt with the distasteful double-whammy in 1999. 

Repackaged as Beaver Cleavage after Headbanger Thrasher went down with an injury, Mosh portrayed a childlike simpleton who lusted after mother’s milk in an innuendo laden sendup of 1950’s sitcom Americana. 

The relationship between Chaz and Miss Cleavage was soon changed, as she became his girlfriend Mariana instead. 

A reprieve from the reprehensible, he probably thought, but oh no. Things suddenly got, somehow, even worse. 

So began a storyline that implicated Chaz as a woman-beater, as Mariana accompanied him to the ring sporting bruises, while the other WWE wrestlers and staff, the virtuous bunch, gave him a good kicking for his indiscretions. 

In classic Russo fashion, it was all a swerve, bro, and the woman was lying! Imagine that…

Thrasher returned and revealed the ploy before Mariana could have his partner arrested. She was arrested instead, the Headbangers dusted off their cone-shaped bras and everyone lived happily ever after. 

Well, besides anyone who had to watch this braincell-reducing sh*t, anyway.
