17. Trish Stratus' Dog Barking

This one came back to bite Vince in the ass during his wife's initial run for the U.S. Senate in 2010, as many of WWE's past controversial exploits were dragged into the spotlight. Particularly with feminism in its fourth wave and WWE trying to position themselves at the head of a neo-liberal society, this scene from 2001 when owner and chairman Vince McMahon took sexual exploitation and feminine oppression to new heights will likely be a no-go zone. Put simply, Vince demands that Trish crawl on and all fours and bark like a dog, before insisting she strip in the middle of the ring to save her job. He then calls the crowd prostitutes. It is what it is.
