5 WWE Moments You Only Saw If You Watched Live
3. Mickie James Vs. Trish Stratus
The chasm between WWE during the TV-14 era and WWE during the PG era can perhaps best be summed up by looking at the 2006 Mickie James versus Trish Stratus feud that has since come to define both of their careers.
In it, James was cast in the role of an obsessed stalker, who took her fandom of Trish Stratus, a multi-time Women's Champion, a little too far after being taken under the veteran's wing shortly following her in-ring bow.
It was their grudge match at WrestleMania 22 where things between them got a little too personal for the post-2008 regime of censorship to handle. In one sequence, Mickie is seen grabbing her opponent's crotch and then suggestively licking her hand.
This particular moment would be edited out of the replays, which is kind of weird when you think about it. In kayfabe Roman Reigns tried to kill Braun Strowman last year - surely that is more offensive than two wrestlers getting friendly inside the ring.
