10 Times WWE Completely Misunderstood Sexuality

2. Vince McMahon: Ladykiller

As the real-life and kayfabe doyen of WWE, it was of clear frustration to Vince McMahon at times that because of certain network regulations or advertiser concerns, he couldn't quite always do anything he wanted with his television programme. That didn't mean he couldn't do anyone he wanted.

As well as yielding power over his roster (though routinely showing more weakness than his children in the role), Vince regularly booked himself to be inexplicably magnetic to any women that came within spitting distance of his genetic jackhammer.

The peak and nadir of his evil attraction came in 2001's dalliance with Trish Stratus, overstepping the mark entirely with an abhorrent Monday Night Raw segment that was only even partially saved by the grand WrestleMania 17 payoff in which both Stratus and his long-suffering wife Linda took their spectacular revenge.

This wasn't the case in other such angles though, as McMahon ably thrust himself upon the personal space of Stacy Keibler, Torrie Wilson, Sable, Jackie Gayda and especially Candice Michelle.

Scraping the barrel in 2006, Victoria, Torrie Wilson and Michelle were briefly cast as 'Vince's Devils', with Candice in particular completely infatuated with the Chairman. Acting out his god complex during a ludicrous run with Shawn Michaels that year, his 'powers' cured her cold simply by groping her breasts, before a hideous backstage make out session rectified her...labiagytis.
