#9 HLA
2002 was an interesting year for the WWE - the company re-branded, it birthed the "Ruthless Aggression era", and former WCW president Eric Bischoff became Monday Night RAW's on-screen authority figure.
On the whole, Bischoff's run as RAW General Manager was pretty spectacular. However, every now and again, we all swing and miss.

On the September 9th, 2002 episode of RAW, Bischoff came to the ring and vowed to "create his own controversy". So, in a desperate attempt to increase ratings, he promised the crowd that they would see "HLA," or "Hot Lesbian Action". It was completely idiotic, as pretty much everyone knew that two people would never actually get intimate on network television.
Anyway, the "lesbians" ended up being an integral part to the episode, but their in-ring segment was literally just a set-up to make Eric Bischoff's heavies, Rosey and Jamal, look strong and sadistic.
As if the blatant sexualization and objectification wasn't in poor enough taste, WWE released an official HLA t-shirt. This means that, if anyone were to wear this in public, they would have to clarify to others what "HLA" stands for.
So, tell me - how does wearing such a shirt NOT make someone seem like a complete pervert? Even without knowing what "HLA" stands for, it's still just a really strange shirt to wear around.
