10 shocking moments from WWF (WWE) 1999

#8 Triple H marries Stephanie McMahon

Till death do they part.

Stephanie McMahon's experience with forced marriage throughout 1999 did not stop with The Ministry of Darkness. In this year, the daughter of Vince McMahon was again subjected to humiliation, this time at the hands of Vince's nemesis Triple H. And unlike on the previous entry, this time the marriage would stick.

After her introduction to the WWF Universe as part of the higher power storyline, Stephanie then began an on-screen relationship with Test, an upper mid-card talent associated with the McMahons and the Corporation.

Stephanie and Test became engaged and were due to be married on an episode of RAW. During the ceremony, out came "The Game" and announced to the world that there would be a slight issue with Stephanie being able to get married on that particular day.

Footage was played on the screen of Triple H heading to a drive-thru wedding ceremony with an unconscious Stephanie McMahon in the passenger seat. "The Game" then managed to complete the ceremony, imitating Stephanie's voice in hilarious scenes and placed the ring on her finger.

The footage then cut back to a distraught McMahon family and a cocky Triple H on the entrance ramp bragging about how many times they consummated the marriage -- a little worrying considering Stephanie was passed out.

This was classic WWF Attitude Era programming, with fans not knowing who to cheer for and who to boo. Only in the world of professional wrestling would a forced marriage be met with such approval from the viewing audience.

In the following weeks and months, it was revealed that Stephanie knew what she was doing all along, and decided to stay with Triple H, beginning what became known as the 'McMahon-Helmsley Era', a precursor to the days of The Authority in 2013-17.
