10 Most Controversial WWE Attitude Era Storylines

2. The McMahon-Helmsley Wedding

With Stone Cold Steve Austin on the shelf, Mr. McMahon needed a new nemesis and found it in the shape of Triple H and DX. 

The Game feuded with the boss throughout late 1999, the two trading insults, wins and losses, but Helmsley took things to another level as Vince’s daughter Stephanie was due to marry Test. 

Live in the main event of Raw, naturally. 

Hijacking the ceremony, the Cerebral Assassin introduced video footage of him driving an unconscious, supposedly drugged Billion Dollar Princess to a drive-thru wedding chapel in Las Vegas, paying for a quickie ceremony while Steph lay passed out in the passenger seat. 

All a bit, I dunno…horrifically creepy and also illegal, perhaps? 

Hunter sent the creep-o-meter into overdrive after the video had finished and he spoke to Vince about how many times he and his daughter had consummated the marriage later that night. 

You know. While she couldn’t open her eyes or talk. 

Triple H continued to see the hilarious side in the coming days and weeks, as he made more jokes about fornicating with Steph and her taking a shower with the New Age Outlaws and laughed off her very reasonable request for him to sign annulment papers. 

Turned out to all be a ruse, of course, as they were both in on the act and working against the Genetic Jackhammer, but watching at the time, it was all very unnerving.
