The WWE Network has this week released a special collection dedicated to the Billion Dollar Princess herself, Stephanie McMahon, who now shares bandwidth alongside such luminaries as The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and André The Giant.

"Highlights" include...

The very first line she utters in the introduction. "I'm still on television after nearly 20 years," she states, marvelling at her own staying power.

You are Vince McMahon's daughter.

From there, you can literally trace a line, from 1999 to 2018, where Stephanie started - and stopped - selling. We see the two acts of Steph's career; awful soap opera actor and castrator de jour. We are also treated to a vignette entitled 'Going Slap Happy', in which Stephanie slaps the p*ss out of everybody in angles that often led nowhere. Everybody in WWE's unsullied army gets a blushed cheek in this clip...

...aside from Jim Ross, who gets one right in the ear. Classic McMahon family.

The titles on these videos, post-Women's Revolution, are audacious even by Stephanie standards: Most Powerful Women In Cable, Igniting A Revolution, Changing The Course Of History, Empowered, We'll Never Stop Fighting...

Just put the bloody Women's Title on her already.
