10 Forgotten WWE Matches Followed By Something Infamously Terrible
3. Lita Vs. Ivory (Followed By Stephanie McMahon's Post-9/11 Speech)
Stephanie McMahon didn't invent women's wrestling until 2015, which explains why she probably didn't give too much of a toss what part of the live SmackDown she was about to bury with some absolutely bizarre comments comparing the attacks on America on September 11th 2001 to the time Vince McMahon and the company were brought to trial over steroid distribution.
The September 13th SmackDown was an emotional evening for sure, and not one of the worst things to ever spring forth from McMahon's stubbornness. He spoke with gravitas befitting of an industry leader in welcoming the world to his live circus for the night as an escape from the dreadful scenes that had filled screens for the prior 48 hours.
Lita's match with Ivory, like everything else on the card, was just there to distract and divert for the night, and it did the job well. McMahon's infamous missive missed the mark on that count - and undid much of the work done by the organisation on what was otherwise a victory for Vince Jr's typical bombast.
