10 Wrestlers That Can't Exist In Real Life

Stephanie McMahon's Twitter bio serves as a slightly smug reminder that she's an occasional TV villain, as if to inform the legions that actually buy into her product to not buy in quite that much.

It's presumably to stave off abuse, but on the off chance it works, she's inadvertently breaking the immersion required to understand anything her character actually does. A botherer and bully of heels and faces alike, her overall authority over the wrestlers is unclear, as is her constant motivation to be truly awful to her subordinates.

One can only assume she's seen this in others in her workplace, but she's only ever had one of those and the boss has been the same since the first day she started. Moulded by her surname and the inordinate wealth that has cocooned her from the real world for most of her time anywhere near it, her monied safeguarded existence has never felt so separate from a world under invisible threat.
