5. Vickie's Last Stand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDbxKHhotus After weeks of what was considered to be unsatisfactory job performance, Vickie Guerrero was called to the ring to join Stephanie McMahon for what many believed would be a public firing. The wife of 2006 Hall of Famer, the late Eddie Guerrero, was berated by her boss and left pleading for her job. Then Stephanie offered her a reprieve of sorts. It turned out Vickie could keep her job as SmackDown General Manager if she could win her match...against her boss. Channeling her husband, Vickie promised to lie, cheat and steal her way to victory. As is almost always the case with the Billion Dollar Princess, she had a plan. Summoning Alicia Fox, Layla and Rosa Mendes to the ring, she watched as they escorted Guerrero to a pool filled with what appeared to be chocolate pudding. Vickie fought them off, sending them one-by-one into the dessert but ultimately fell victim to a running knee to the back from the crafty McMahon. She was then thrown into the pool, ending her nine-year career with WWE. Stephanie taunted her, singing "Na Na Hey Hey" before realizing that Guerrero suddenly had nothing to lose. A look of anger and frustration on her face, the former employee grabbed hold of Stephanie before throwing her into the pool. Stephanie slipped and slid around, repeatedly falling back into the mess she was so desperately trying to escape. The crowd in Washington laughed and applauded the display. After weeks and months of abusing her power, tormenting the talent and toying with their livelihoods, Stephanie was finally the butt of the joke.
