3. When You Reach Such Great Heights And Give Yourself A Fright, That's Amore

WWE is the most vindictive company on the face of the planet. It doesn't even matter if dressing down employees onscreen is massively counterproductive. They still do it, and do it with joy in their black hearts.

The very popular Lana was slut-shamed for breaking kayfabe in a post-kayfabe world. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon hardly married in secret, but it's one rule for them and another for everybody else. CM Punk was the hottest heel in all of wrestling before he questioned an alleged Undertaker edict in late 2009. He wasn't tried in Wrestler's Court; the first proper headliner WWE had built since Edge three years prior saw out the year doing dark match jobs to R-Truth. Lita was given a charming leaving gift upon her 2006 departure: yeast infection cream.

Several reports have it that Enzo Amore, well-liked by fans, is loathed backstage. Guess what matters more (how this company became the biggest in the world is astonishing at times).

Amore is allegedly terrified of heights. So WWE's answer, of course, is to suspend him high above a ring in a cage and watch him absolutely sh*t himself on the biggest show of the year.
