The Vince McMahon and Trish Stratus onscreen relationship would end with egg on McMahon's face at WrestleMania X-Seven. That was the plan all along, and it was a solid one, but did Vince really need to degrade Trish in the process live on his prime time show?

Apparently so.

Live in front of millions, McMahon verbally berated Stratus and demanded she take off her clothes. Not satisfied, Vince then told Trish to bark like a dog for him in a bid to prove that she would do anything to apologise for disappointing her sugar daddy. Stratus did as McMahon commanded, even borderline crying on air.

This is not one to watch with those who 'don't get' wrestling, but it's even super-awkward when viewed alone. By far one of the most embarrassing segments in WWE history, the 'Trish gets down on her hands and knees to bark like a dog' idea should have been thrown out immediately by creative.
