10 Most Controversial WWE Shows Ever

6. Armageddon 1999

Scantily clad ladies were a common sight during the Attitude Era, but actual, honest-to-goodness nudity had been restricted to Jacqueline’s ‘wardrobe malfunction’ at Capital Carnage 1998 in the UK.

Things were different in the United States, especially towards the end of 1999, with the Parents Television Council breathing down WWE’s neck and successfully encouraging advertisers to drop their sponsorship due to the promotion’s risqué content. In spite of – or perhaps because of – this pressure, WWE opted to pull a little stunt at Armageddon 1999. 

Following her Evening Gown Pool Match title defence against Jacqueline, BB, and Ivory, Women’s Champion Miss Kitty took off her bra and very briefly flashed her breasts (before Sergeant Slaughter covered them up with a towel). 

A day later, WWE sent out a press release apologising for the ‘unauthorised’ exposure, as well as editing that part out of cable replays of the show. For what it’s worth, Stacy Carter later claimed the camera was supposed to be filming her from behind, not from the front.
