10 Times Vince McMahon Was Too Obsessed With Sex

4. Trish

The mucky old b*stard.

It took Vince McMahon less than 12 months to have his character become romantically involved with Trish Stratus after she debuted on television, and argue all you want that heat on his character had to be turned up to 11 ahead of his WrestleMania X7 clash with son Shane, but it won't stop the whole thing looking like a ridiculous power play from a man who had nobody there to tell him "no".

Masterfully performed by Stratus when she realised the whole thing could at least be a star-maker for her after the fact, this ruthlessly cruel portrayal of a billionaire skidding through midlife saw the former T&A manager reduced to a sex object and McMahon's wife Linda catatonic through a cocktail of deep depression and over-prescribed medication.

Total chaos, as f*cking usual, reaching rock bottom when McMahon forced a crying Stratus to strip half-naked and bark like a dog during the middle of the ring on Raw. That blew back in the McMahon Family's face years later when Linda made her first forays into politics, and good. Compiling this list has highlighted the flaws in karma as a concept - they were due a receipt for that one.
