10 Times Wrestlers Had Incredibly Fragile Egos

1. Stephanie McMahon: Mark For Her Own Theme Song

HHH Going Over Thumb
WWE Network

Stephanie McMahon played the innocent daughter of the boss and a corrupted, power-hungry heel before she was depicted as a cheating succubus. She then grew her fringe back in and rediscovered her heart or something in the early to mid 2000s before spending most of her time subsequently calling everybody worse than sh*t, babyfaces and heels alike, in her guise as a wrestling promoter.

She never played the "sexpot" role. It was beneath her.

Style, grace, etc.: Steph wasn't eye candy, damn it, she was a McMahon. But she did think herself quite the catch, regardless, which explains the following segment. Powerful executive, decorated wrestler, selfless philanthropist: Steph in storylines also had to have an incredible arse to boot. Or to smack, if you're John Cena scripted to have your c*ck in your hand. In a famous in-ring Ruthless Aggression segment, Cena rapped that he wanted little more than to simply touch Steph's arse. He ached for it. And then she offered to let him do it.

No judgement is being made here either way on whether or not Steph has an aesthetically pleasing or sexually desirable arse. That's not the point. She wrote the damn programme at the time, and you didn't see Bill Watts or Jerry Jarrett intimate that they had serpents for d*cks on national television.

Cena was (told to act) so chuffed that he made Jerry Lawler look like a monk.
