10 Moments WWE Wish They Could Take Back
WWE history is littered with questionable moments
7. Bark Like A Dog
Multiple-time WWE Women’s Champion and WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is cemented as one of the greatest female performers in the organisation’s history, but she had to work very hard and overcome a lot of obstacles to earn that reputation.
Coming from the world of fitness modelling, Trish had to pay some serious dues during the Attitude Era and was involved in several controversial or embarrassing moments and storylines.
The nadir was undoubtedly the segment on the March 5, 2001 episode of Raw where Mr. McMahon ordered her to get down on all fours and ‘bark like a dog’ before stripping down to her underwear.
The segment – which was cut from broadcast when the episode aired in some parts of the world, such as the United Kingdom – was widely derided for its humiliating and misogynistic overtones.
Not only was it barrel-scraping stuff from a creative standpoint and an insult to a top talent like Stratus, but it was later used against Linda McMahon by her political opponents when the former WWE CEO was running for a seat in the US Senate.
