10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Eric Bischoff
9. The Stephanie McMahon Kiss
According to WWE Corporate, SmackDown has been rated TV-PG since its debut in 1999. The guideline stipulates that programming can contain some sexual content that may be inappropriate for younger viewers. Presumably, these parameters don't stretch to:
- Gratuitously exposed cleavage
- Incestuous overtones
- An implied lack of consent
Eric Bischoff's unnecessary bout of tonsil hockey with his SmackDown shadow featured all of these things, in addition to being entirely pointless and toe-curlingly cringeworthy. Given the boss' daughter's current role within the company - not to mention her tireless marketi... philanthropic work - she'd likely prefer to keep this brief, technically 'romantic' encounter buried. Though given Clumsy E bashes her head against a lamp mid-snog, she probably doesn't remember it anyway.
