For all the talk about the Attitude Era not being 'dumbed down' for a younger audience, the fact remains that some of the silliest, wildest, and most zany antics in WWE history occurred during this time period.

Kaientai was dubbed hilariously wrong into English over the loudspeaker. Stone Cold Steve Austin gave stunners to celebrity guests and Santa Claus. D-Generation X asked everyone to get ready to....do something unmentionable, and Mankind speculated about The Rock's cereal brand choices in a totally non-PG way. Not to mention Mae Young giving birth to a disembodied hand.

While some fans may facepalm at the mere mention of these antics, many enjoyed them thoroughly. A lot of fans point to these fun-loving antics as one of the reasons the Attitude Era was better.
