8 Times Stephanie McMahon Actively Damaged Women In WWE
1. She's Hearing Voices
Scott Steiner was articulate and accurate when he used his words rather than his arms to rip Triple H a new a*sehole for a 2017 Jimmy Fallon appearance. 'Big Poppa Pump' noted the inherent selfishness of 'The Game' to use the valuable spot rather than donate it to a talent that could potentially transform a pithy WWE Superstar into a household name.
But 'The Game' doesn't really give a sh*t about that. He absolutely does care about talent development, but not if it interferes with him still nipping at the heels of The Rock as a mainstream star nearly two decades after he fell behind him as a wrestler.
Stephanie McMahon has forced herself into almost every significant segment relating to the reinvention of the Women's Division with sickening transparency. She stands front and centre for every announcement, seemingly oblivious to her hypocrisy.
WWE haven't ever grasped that fixing the troubled league was a matter of 'show not tell', and have instead done far too much of the latter to undermine the former. Stephanie taking the Royal Rumble commentary spot isn't just an insult to the match she wouldn't nor couldn't dream of credibly competing in - she is literally taking an opportunity that belongs to Renee Young, Charly Caruso or even Beth Phoenix or Lita based on merit rather than just profiling.
It's another almighty step forward to have a woman call such a historic women's bout. It's fifty backwards picking Stephanie.
