10 Questions Steve Austin Must Ask Stephanie McMahon On WWE Network Podcast
7. Taking One For The Team
WWE has a long history of humiliating its employees on television. They don't do it so much these days because, hey kids, Be A Star, an all of that but years ago not a week would go by that Vince wouldn't try and put somebody in their place via an on-screen humiliation or some sort. Of course those humiliations don't just stop at WWE wrestlers but also extend to the McMahon family themselves. Vince especially is not afraid of making a fool of himself in order to entertain people and has been subject to perhaps more humiliations that anyone in the company's history. Stephanie has also found herself subject to these humiliations, too. Just last year she was thrown into a pool of brown liquid by Vicki Guerrero in her last appearance with the company. Stephanie, ever the pro, sold it brilliantly but she has had plenty of practice: her 2001 feud with Trish Stratus was very scatalogical and Steph found herself thrown into 'horse manure' and covered with yet more brown liquid during a backstage segment. Steph was also a victim of the dreaded stinkface, a move she really didn't have to take. Again, she sold it with gusto. Then there was the feud with Chris Jericho, which saw her being called every name under the sun and having her recent breast implants mocked incessantly by Y2J and The Rock. Steph's clearly a good sport, but perhaps Austin could ask her about how she feels doing this stuff, especially now that she has other responsibilities and if there's anything she would say no to if she was asked now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIauMCrAG8k
