10 WWE Employees Humiliated On The Air

5. Trish Stratus

As already discussed, there's a fine line between storyline and reality. Oddly, pro wrestling is scrutinised to a different standard than most fictional programming, possibly because there are elements of real-life sports about the product, or maybe because some people just can't stand the medium.

Those folks had a ruddy field day when Vinnie Mac stripped Trish Stratus down her smalls and made his kayfabe mistress bark like your next door neighbour's dog. That one segment on the 5 March 2001 episode of Raw remains uncomfortable to watch to this day; try sticking this on in front of a friend who 'doesn't get' wrestling.

Go on, try it.

They'll stare in disbelief as some possessed demon with well-coiffed hair revels in Stratus' embarrassment and red-blooded males in the crowd whoop and holler at the mere thought of seeing Trish being sexually humiliated live on camera.
