10 Weakest Links In WWE Right Now

3. Stephanie McMahon

Most wrestling personalities would kill for Stephanie McMahon's mastery of her onscreen role. Say what you will about WWE's heir apparent, but her performance skills are sublime. She's a world-class talker, a great actress (in wrestling terms, of course), and somebody who's entirely convincing in her portrayal of her character.

Said character is the problem, though. Stephanie is, by a wide margin, the most toxic on-air personality in WWE history. She is the definition of taking without giving, and whenever she's active, ruthless emasculation is never far away.

Kurt Angle has become Steph's most recent target, but it won't end there. The Raw Commissioner will move onto her next victim as soon as she feels her General Manager's manhood has been sufficiently snipped, and the cycle will repeat ad nauseam, with McMahon rarely taking a lick in return.

The lack of comeuppance is what makes Steph such an atrocious character. Authority figures should be supplemental, existing only to help get the wrestlers over, yet she does the opposite. Stephanie is a destroyer, not a builder, and while her equally vain brother Shane at least tries to justify his spot through death-defying bumps, Steph won't even take a verbal rebuttal.
