10 Horribly Cruel WWE Moments WORSE When You Know The Truth
6. Lita Was Told She's Be Fired If She Didn't Take Part In The Live Sex Celebration
When Bret Hart described professional wrestling in his biography as "two athletes telling a story with their bodies", we doubt he had Lita & Edge's notorious Live Sex Celebration in mind.
Both performers have since gone on record to describe their understandable discomfort with the segment, but unsurprisingly it was the female half of the duo who came under the most fire from WWE management for airing her displeasure at the time.
Back in 2021, Lita claimed on her Twitch channel that Vince McMahon was hot to trot for the segment and that saying "no" was not an option. When Lita voiced her trepidation at the idea of going all the way on live television, she was threatened with her release.
If you'll forgive a little personal indulgence: when this writer tore into Vince McMahon's return to WWE earlier this year (you should see the stuff that got cut), it's because of stories like this. The man has all the moral conscience of an abattoir, and if his employees don't follow his every whim he has no problem sending them straight into the disassembly line.
