10 WWE Wrestlers Stephanie McMahon Has Emasculated

Big Show may have come close to crying after a dressing down from Stephanie McMahon, but he's got nothing on Goldust, who was full on blubbering after bumping into her backstage on Raw in September 2013.

In truth, this moment probably needed emotion. The Bizarre One had just been defeated by Randy Orton in a match which, if he had won, would have seen brother Cody Rhodes get re-hired by WWE.

But this segment was perhaps a bit much. Not only did Stephanie use their chance meeting as an opportunity to rub salt in his wounds by gloating about his defeat, she ended by inviting him to go and join Cody in the "unemployment line".

Since both of the Rhodes brothers would end up getting their jobs back pretty promptly, this whole thing seemed somewhat redundant, its only ostensible purpose being to cement The Authority as a really nasty and vindictive group. To be fair, though, you can't fault the acting here from Goldust - he was simply born to perform.
