10 Ridiculous Stephanie McMahon Ego Trips
10. Start A Revolution
The remarkable shift in attitudes towards women's wrestling by WWE (and thus, the broader wrestling audience) in the past few years has been the net result of so many people's gruelling hard work. But as the company are happy to tell you, the beguiling spirit and collected skills of four particular superstars drove that change the most - Stephanie McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Stephanie McMahon.
Because god forbid you think it's anything to do with Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Bayley. Or even Emma, Natalya, Paige, AJ Lee (more on her later), The Bella Twins OR the dedicated staffers in WWE and NXT that for years campaigned for women to be fairly represented on the main roster and often had the tiniest windows of time to exhibit exactly why.
No, in abusing her privilege yet again, Stephanie has managed to place herself front and centre for nearly all the significant checkpoints in driving WWE's gender equality problem in the right direction.
Ignore a run of NXT TakeOver matches between 2014 and 2015 that each time resulted in a census opinion of 'Oh, well now that's the greatest WWE women's match ever', or the individual lifetimes of dedication to the craft from the likes of Banks and Bayley, who dreamt of becoming wrestlers but were forced to sit through over a decade of Bra and Panties/Bikini battles that Stephanie's creative team were only to happy to peddle.
Thanks Stephanie. Thanks for everything.
