18. Trish Stratus Barks Like a Dog
One could sit down and easily produce a list of 20 times that female performers were humiliated and embarrassed during WWE television, but the storyline involving Trish Stratus and Vince McMahon may take the cake. Stratus was forced to strip while inside of the ring, and she also barked like a dog in what was one of the most degrading segments to ever be shown by the company. The WWE is now responsible for PG television and the company also has sponsors to think about, and thus you will have to put in the effort to find footage of these angles. They won’t be publicized by the WWE.

17. Invasion Storyline
The truth of the matter is that one could place this atop a list of the worst moments in WWE history if business and money were the main topics. WWE was the king of the North American pro wrestling world in 2001 with the demise of World Championship Wrestling, and the company was in a position to make television and wrestling history with an invasion storyline that should have been profitable. Instead of getting a feud for the ages, viewers were handed awful booking and a cheapened version of “The Alliance” that was buried time and time again until the idea was abandoned less than a year after WCW died.
16. Eugene
Just about everything with the Eugene character from the moment that he debuted on WWE television to the last time that fans saw him was offensive. It was offensive that the company had asked a talented performer who could put on entertaining matches to play that role in front of audiences. It was offensive to people who deal with such disabilities in real life and to family members of such individuals. That Eugene did manage to get over with crowds for a time does not excuse the character nor does it make it acceptable that the WWE went this route for as long as the company did so.
