12 Times Vince McMahon Abused His Family For Entertainment
6. Stephanie McMahon Vs. Vickie Guerrero
Stephanie McMahon falling into a giant vat of pudding is as abusive in real life as getting punched in a face with a glove made of feathers. But on some level taking this level of storyline abuse is a true sign that when discussing the McMahon family's future as on screen characters, the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree. This whole hilarious storyline starts because on the June 16, 2014 episode of Raw, Roman Reigns spiked the coffee Vickie Guerrero gave to Stephanie McMahon. After drinking the tainted coffee, Stephanie threw up on Vickie and head to the hospital with Triple H. Once The Authority was gone, Reigns complimented Guerrero leading to Vickie giving Reigns a spot in a battle royal for a WWE Championship title shot, which he won. One week later, a now healthy and angry Stephanie McMahon challenged Vickie to a match in which Guerrero's job as commissioner was on the line (which was made into a pudding match in which Vickie had to outlast Alicia Fox, Layla and Rosa Mendes). Vickie was outsmarted by Stephanie and lost her job, but Steph received her comeuppance when Vickie threw her into the pudding afterwards. Insofar as possibly stupid entertaining things that actually never get old, everything past Vickie being tossed into the pudding is hilarious.
