10 of the Most Controversial Incidents in Pro Wrestling History

"Kane" (in reality a masked Triple H) got a little too friendly with a mannequin in the eyes of many

7. Vince makes Trish Stratus strip and bark like a dog

<p>

Trish had spent a great deal of time as a heel manager, but WWE was eager to use her as a babyface for their revamped women's/Divas division. The way they decided to turn her to the light side was controversial, to say the least.

It all started when Trish began 'dating' Vince McMahon, currying his favor for special treatment. However, when Trish ran afoul of Stephanie McMahon, Vince brutally dumped Trish on live TV.

Things got worse when Trish came out and begged Vince to take her back. As a condition of her returning to the fold, Vince forced Trish Stratus to act like a dog, walking on all fours and barking, and then made her strip down to her underwear.

While it was all a set up for Trish to join forces with Vince's wife Linda and get her revenge, the segment ended up being a failure. Not only did they alienate a large portion of their female fan base, the male fans in the arena cheered for Trish's humiliation, meaning the act that was meant to show how evil Vince McMahon was ended up getting him pops from the audience.
