5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (July 6)
3. Stephanie McMahon Is The Worst, Part 2512

Stephanie McMahon suffers from an astonishing lack of self-awareness, which is ironic, given how full of herself she is. Her constant need to insert herself at the forefront of the Women's Evolution is monumentally infuriating. She has wrestled precisely one brilliant, cathartic match in her four-year role as a heel authority figure. We'll give her that, even if she gave herself months and months at the Performance Center to guarantee its success.
And now, Stephanie McMahon finds herself in a new role she can screech about: The Fifth Horsewomen! Per her Twitter account, Mattel is set to release an action figure of the Four Horsewomen...+ Stephanie McMahon. It's satire and it also isn't, because it is really happening. The Four Horsewomen's seminal NXT work - following a push engineered by Triple H stemming from the fall out of his wife's social media faux pas - brought credibility to women's wrestling in WWE. Stephanie simply took credit for it. She has literally cast herself in the mould of a performer. Never again is anybody ever allowed to refer to Bret Hart as a mark for himself.
Imagine a little girl gleefully removing the package on Christmas Day, doing her best to emulate her dear heroine. "Daddy! You are a pathetic disgrace! You don't deserve to be called my father, even though without you I cannot sustain myself!"
It's not as if the figure is even tacked on the end of the line. The Stephanie McMahon figure is front and centre of even a Mattel multipack.
