Why did Vince McMahon kiss Trish Stratus in front of his wife Linda? Exploring the details as revealed in the Mr. McMahon docuseries 

Former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon purchased his father's wrestling promotion (Capitol Wrestling Corporation) and turned it into a Sports Entertainment juggernaut that fans love today. When he took over, his wife, Linda McMahon, joined the company as well. While she dealt with the business, Vince focused on the creative direction and vision.

Given the storyteller and showman he was, Vince McMahon introduced several characters to WWE TV, including his wife Linda McMahon, and children, Shane and Stephanie McMahon. Therefore, anything that fans witnessed on television was a part of kayfabe, and four of them acknowledged that it was all an act.

One such act that became quite popular was Vince's on-screen affair with Trish Stratus in the early 2000s. In one of the segments, he kissed Stratus in front of a drugged, wheelchair-ridden Linda McMahon. In the fifth episode of Netflix's documentary Mr. McMahon, the 79-year-old revealed that he kissed the WWE Hall of Famer in that segment to establish himself as a ''despicable heel.''

"Get this now, I kissed Trish Stratus in front of my wife in a wheelchair, and the reason why we did that was to show what a despicable heel I was. I mean, you can't get any more despicable," Vince McMahon said. [14 minutes onwards]

Meanwhile, Trish Stratus revealed that Linda McMahon was ''super cool about it,'' and would chip in with ideas about further elevating Mr. MaMahon as the heel during the kayfabe affair.

Which member of the McMahon family had a problem with the Vince McMahon-Trish Stratus storyline?

In the docuseries, Vince claimed that his wife and children had no issues with his on-screen affair with Trish Stratus since everyone understood it was an act.

However, it was revealed that Shane McMahon didn't quite like that creative angle since his mother is sacred to him.

Furthermore, Vince revealed that The Prodigal Son was the most conservative member of the McMahon family.
