Throughout the course of WWE history, no Superstar has been more emasculated by Stephanie McMahon than Chris Jericho. Despite serving as one of her greatest rivals, the man who would openly refer to her as a "trash bag ho" weekly, Jericho found himself ordered around like a commoner during his time as Undisputed champion, fetching Stephanie coffee and taking her dog for a walk during the buildup to what should have been the biggest match of his career: a showdown with Triple H in the main event of WrestleMania X-8. If essentially serving her while supposedly the greatest champion in the sport was not emasculating enough, he would be forced to his knees years later, where he would beg Stephanie to reconsider her decision to fire him. Embarrassed, humiliated and enraged over his predicament, it may have been sweet poetic justice that someone so vocal in his disrespect for her years earlier would be forced to beg for his job while on his knees, but that did not make it any less emasculating for ol' Y2J. He would recover, because Jericho is an elite performer whose ability to change his persona like a chameleon changes its color comes in handy, but it does not make up for the fact that he could have been incredibly damaged in both instances, all in an attempt to remind the world of just how powerful Stephanie was as a character, and in real life. As if they did not already know.
