1. Vince Vs. Stephanie - Father/Daughter I Quit Match (No Mercy 2003)
After Vince McMahon ultimately failed to prove in 2003 that "Mr. America" was Hulk Hogan under a mask, he turned his attention to successfully attempting to goad his daughter Stephanie into having a physical altercation with him because Vince believed she was doing a poor job as Smackdown's General Manager. Stephanie refused to resign her post, which led to an "I Quit" match between the two at 2003's No Mercy PPV. In the midst of seemingly choking his daughter unconscious with a lead pipe, Linda McMahon threw in the towel allowing Vince to win the encounter. So, let's run this down again. Vince McMahon defeated his daughter Stephanie in an "I Quit" match when Stephanie's mother (and Vince's wife) threw in the towel. Abuse-driven McMahon family values have never been better displayed.
