Ranking Every “I Quit” Match in WWE History

15. Mr. McMahon vs. Stephanie McMahon: No Mercy 2003

Man on woman violence, albeit inappropriate, was effective in small doses in WWE during the Attitude Era, but a match pitting a father against a daughter was simply crossing the line.

For years, Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon had never seen eye-to-eye, ultimately culminating in an "I Quit" match at 2003's No Mercy pay-per-view. The stipulation stated that if Stephanie lost, she would have had to resign as the general manager of SmackDown; however, if Vince lost, he would have had to resign as the Chairman of WWE.

They had history together, sure, but to have them face off in such a heinous match was unnecessary. To further devalue the stipulation, it was later added that Stephanie didn't have to force her father to utter the two demeaning words in order to win; she could also pin him or make him submit.

Vince was relentless in his attack on the Billionaire Princess, resorting to choking her with a lead pipe in order to emerge victorious. It wasn't until Linda McMahon threw in the towel for her daughter that her husband emerged victorious.

It was uncomfortable to watch and spelled the end of Stephanie's on-air character for the next five years.
