Austin was summoned to Stephanie's dressing room, where he told her that she better be talking to him about his title shot. Steph told Stone Cold that he had to earn a title shot and since he liked beer so much...  he had to be a beer vendor and sell every beer and hotdog or he would never get another title shot.

Later Steph wanted to know how Austin was doing, when Austin "accidentally" squirted mustard all over her, saying that he was having problems with the mustard. Steph screamed and went to her dressing room.

Backstage, Steph was complaining to her dad about Steve's actions over a speaker phone. Trish Stratus came into the room as Vince told Steph that Test would be fighting Benoit for the IC belt tonight. Vince then lost reception and hung up before Stephanie turned to Trish and told her that her big-breasted tactics wouldn't work and that she was a fake. Steph then told Trish her to leave.

Steve Austin made his way to the ring with his last beer in hand. Austin demanded that Stephanie come out and give him his title shot because he had sold all the beer. After some hesitation Stephanie came out and asked him who he thought he is talking to. She wanted to know how he had sold all the beer and hotdogs, since she hadn't see him sell a thing all night long. Austin then showed her the Acolytes backstage on the TitanTron and informed her that they bought all of it. Stone Cold placed his vending tray over Steph's shoulders, and told her to be careful since it was a little sticky. After telling Steve she was giving him a title shot with Steven Regal for later in the night (I don't think the European Title is what Steve had in mind), Stephanie then asked Austin to take the tray off of her. Steve said OK and began to take it off, but he some trouble getting it off and he was forced to give it a big tug.  Unfortunately he tore Stephanie's shirt off in the process! Stephanie had to bare the humiliation of standing in the middle of the ring in her bra, before quickly running for the dressing room. As she was leaving Austin told her that she had more foam in her bra than one of his beers.

Backstage, Regal confronted Debra. He asked her to cover her breasts as it was very distracting to him. Debra told him he would just have to deal with it. He then told her that Steph wanted him to deliver a message, there will be a special surprise guest ref to make sure things go smoothly in his title match against SCSA. Debra asked him who its is going to be, but Regal informed her that if her told her then it wouldn't be a surprise.

Regal came into the ring first, and ran his mouth for awhile before announcing the guest referee: Stephanie McMahon! Steph came to the ring with her ref shirt and both Steven and her showed how happy they were at this turn of events. Austin came out and dominated the match immediately. Austin eventually went for a pin, but Stephanie surprisingly "got something in her eye," causing Austin to get up and kick her out of the ring. As Austin turned around Regal quickly got the upper hand. While all this was happening Earl Hebner came into the ring until Steph got back in. Eventually Austin regained control of the match and went for another pin. Steph stood by the turnbuckle and wouldn't count, forcing Austin to pull her over. This allowed Regal to nail his opponent from behind and roll him up. Steph did a "fast count" and gave Regal the win. Stephanie quickly ran to the top of the ramp for safety and then stopped to announce Regal as the winner and Austin as the loser.


01/04/01 Thursday Smackdown
A limo pulled in backstage at the arena, and Stone Cold pounded on the windows, screaming for Stephanie to get out. Stephanie got out of the other side of the car and -- as the Rattlesnake stalked her -- she ran frantically into the building! With a look of terror on her face, Stephanie ran from Austin, eventually winding up on the entranceway! As she fearfully ran to ringside, the sound of broken glass filled the arena, and Stone Cold walked to ringside to confront her face to face. The Rattlesnake then threw a petrified Stephanie into the ring. He said he had warned her Monday night that he wouldn't play her games. He promised that she would learn to listen to Stone Cold.

Suddenly, "No Chance in Hell" blared in the arena, and Vince McMahon came to his daughter's aid! Vince told Austin that he was not to harm a hair on Stephanie's head -- because Vince could give him what he wanted. Vince said he could rewrite the record book, giving Austin the win via disqualification -- putting Stone Cold in the Triple Threat Match for the No. 1 contenders spot! He said he would do that for the Rattlesnake, as long as Austin promised not to hurt Stephanie. Vince promised Austin that if he didn't accept the offer, then he would put Austin through hell.

Stone Cold accepted Mr. McMahon's offer to compete in the Triple Threat Match, and he promised not to harm daddy's little girl. But Vince hadn't said anything about harming daddy -- and the Rattlesnake gave Mr. McMahon a Stone Cold Stunner! The Rattlesnake glared at Stephanie before leaving the ring. Moments later, Stephanie checked on her father, whose neck was in a lot of pain. Mr. McMahon told his daughter that he had decided to name a special troubleshooting referee for the Triple Threat Match, and that the referee's last name was McMahon. Stephanie was worried that it would be her, but Vince said that it would instead be him!

Later in the locker room area, Mr. McMahon asked his daughter to get him some pain killers for his neck, and also to cut the sleeves off his referee shirt. When Stephanie returned to the locker room, she found Trish Stratus rubbing down her father's neck! Trish asked Mr. McMahon how his holidays were -- and he said he had a feeling that they were the same as hers! Trish said she was there to see Steph, and she asked if Steph enjoyed what Trish did to Test on Monday's RAW. Stephanie said what she'd enjoy was if Trish got the hell out of the locker room. Trish did leave -- but not before thanking Mr. McMahon for a favor.

Stephanie asked her father what he was doing with Trish. Vince avoided the question and told Stephanie to calm down. He said the only concern was his role as referee in the Triple Threat Match. [wwf.com]


01/05/01 Internet Rumor
As we all saw on Raw the evident break-up of T & A finally feel into place. It appears that Trish has aligned herself with Test and will use her ties with Vince McMahon to help get Test into a much larger role. This works out two ways for the WWF, one being that they can play the Test Stephanie angle, and they can also play a Stephanie jealous angle. Watch for this to heat up and get a lot of on airtime to help get it over. Stephanie will start to become more and more jealous of Trish and start to say that she is Vince’s only girl and that’s the way it should be, She will try and spoil whatever is going on between Vince and Trish, but will not succeed. This will get really interesting when HHH returns since he has ties to Trish as well. Watch for Trish to get herself mixed up with all of these people resulting in a major fall-out between them all. This may lead to some sort of match between Trish and Stephanie over the next few weeks.  [Shawn Stanford]


01/08/01 Monday Night Raw
In the McMahon's dressing room, Vince complained about his coffee, and asked Stephanie to go get him some fresh coffee. He said he'd be fine by himself while she was gone. After she left, Vince smiled and took off his sport coat!

Stephanie came back as Vince was asking what was taking so long. And as Stephanie sat down, she heard a toilet flush, and Trish walked out! Stephanie immediately stood up and said that she was putting Trish in action tonight - she would team with Albert against Test, because, Stephanie said, she heard Trish liked two-on-one! Vince McMahon stammered a bit when Stephanie made the match, and then walked down the hallway.

In a two-on-one match, Trish and Albert teamed up against Test. As Test went after Trish, William Regal walked out to help her! As Trish and Regal walked away, Albert pinned Test after an Albert Bomb! In their dressing room, Stephanie yelled at Vince, assuming he had Regal interfere in the match! [wwf.com]


01/11/01 Thursday Smackdown
Coach interviewed World Wrestling Federation Champion Kurt Angle about his match against Triple H at the Royal Rumble. He questioned Triple H's claims that the Game had allowed him to be champion for the past three months -- after all, he pointed out that he had defeated Triple H inside Hell in the Cell.

Kurt said that the one problem he had with the match at the Royal Rumble was going against the McMahon family -- specifically, the fact that Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley would be in the Game's corner. Kurt then introduced the woman who will be in his corner at the Royal Rumble -- Trish Stratus!

Later, Mr. McMahon went into his locker room, where Trish Stratus was waiting for him. Mr. McMahon said he couldn't believe everything that had happened that night. He asked Trish what she was doing, volunteering her services to be in Kurt Angle's corner. Trish admitted that she had been a very bad girl -- and said that she thought she deserved a spanking! A smiling Mr. McMahon said he definitely agreed. [wwf.com]


01/15/01 Monday Night Raw
The Game re-iterated his claim from SmackDown!, that Kurt Angle was still the Federation Champion because he allowed it. Triple H said that he had never lost his Federation Championship (he lost it at the King of the Ring when Vince McMahon was pinned in a six-man tag match for the title). He promised Angle that he would end his title reign. Triple H then mocked Angle's title reign -- specifically, Angle's use of his brother Eric at Survivor Series, and Angle's constant efforts at getting disqualified in title matches. The Game told Angle to bring his family and friends to the Royal Rumble if he wanted to, but it wouldn't make a difference.

 Kurt Angle's music then filled the Bradley Center, and surprisingly, the crowd cheered for him! Kurt told Stephanie that he was very disappointed in her -- but she blew it! Angle said that her husband hadn't been Federation Champion since June's King of the Ring. And speaking of games, Angle said that Donkey Kong himself had a better chance at becoming Federation Champion than Triple H. Angle then said that the difference between Triple H and Donkey Kong was that Donkey Kong was the big smelly ape that people actually liked!

Angle then talked about his decision last Thursday on SmackDown! to enlist Trish Stratus to stand in his corner at the Rumble. Trish joined Angle on the stage and told Stephanie and Triple H that there were no hard feelings, but she couldn't say no to Kurt Angle. She said that whether it was Angle or Mr. McMahon, she loved a man on top! Stephanie said that since the word "no" didn't seem to be in Trish's vocabulary, then Trish shouldn't have a problem with the match she was about to make. Stephanie said that Trish would face Jackie on RAW in a match suitable to Trish's talents -- a spanking match!

After the break, Stephanie and Triple H watched the footage from SmackDown! of the locker room spanking with Trish and Vince on SmackDown!. Triple H suggested that Stephanie's dad might not like the match she made for RAW.

01/18/01 Thursday Smackdown
Triple H and Stephanie were walking backstage when Stephanie saw a door with Trish Stratus' name on it. Stephanie was irate that Trish had her own dressing room! In the parking area, Trish Stratus arrived at the arena in a stretch limo. Watching Trish arrive from her dressing room, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley threw a fit about Trish getting a limo, a mink coat, diamond earrings and her own dressing room! The Game had to calm his wife down.

Backstage, Trish barged into Stephanie's dressing room, where Mrs. Game was enjoying some vegetables and dip. Trish yelled at Stephanie for embarrassing her on Monday night, putting her in a spanking match against Jackie. Stephanie yelled right back, screaming at Trish about all the gifts Trish has been receiving lately. Stephanie then said she had another gift for Trish -- and she threw the vegetable dip all over Trish's outfit! Trish then responded by shoving Stephanie to the ground! As the two women went at it, Mr. McMahon walked in and separated them. He told Stephanie to act her age, and then asked why they couldn't be one big happy family! As Mr. McMahon escorted Trish back to her dressing room, Stephanie sat on the couch in shock, after hearing her father use the word "family."

Mr. McMahon entered Trish's locker room to apologize for Stephanie's behavior -- and he found Trish half-naked, still cleaning herself off! Trish told the Federation chairman that she didn't want to come between him and his family, but she really did appreciate all he had done for her. She then gave the chairman a hug -- and gave Mr. McMahon's backside a little squeeze! As the owner enjoyed the hug, Federation official Dave Hebner burst into the room and told Mr. McMahon that his guests were waiting for him in the parking lot. An irate Mr. McMahon screamed at Hebner for barging in as Trish struggled to cover herself up.  Moments later, Stephanie was seen in her locker room, watching this footage in a state of shock and unbridled anger.

In the parking area, Mr. McMahon reprimanded Dave Hebner about barging in on him and Trish. Mr. McMahon then asked someone in the limo if they were ready for the Royal Rumble, and got in the limo to talk to the person, whose identity was not revealed.

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley then headed to the ring, and the former Women's Champion was not in a good mood. Stephanie compared Trish Stratus to a pile of garbage, and she demanded that Trish come to the ring. Trish said that Stephanie had it all wrong, and that Mr. McMahon was just a mentor to her. Trish said that she and Stephanie were the same, and that she loved the business. Trish said she would bend over backwards for the World Wrestling Federation.  Stephanie told Trish never to compare herself to her. Stephanie declared that she was the dominant female in the World Wrestling Federation, and she would prove it -- the easy way or the hard way.

Triple H then walked to the ring to interrupt the proceedings. He demanded that the two women calm down. He told Stephanie that she was above dealing with the likes of Trish. The Game told Trish to get out of the ring before he knocked her down.  Suddenly, Kurt Angle's music filled the arena. The World Wrestling Federation Champion told Triple H to have some respect for his new business advisor. Angle called the Game an ass, and changed the topic of conversation to their showdown for the Federation Championship at the Royal Rumble. Angle also talked about how he was personally invited to attend the Presidential Inauguration on Saturday in Washington, D.C. He asked the Game where his gold medals and invitation to the presidential inauguration were. Angle said that after the Royal Rumble, Triple H also wouldn't have the Federation Championship.

Triple H then blindsided Angle, just as Stephanie and Trish started to fight as well! After Angle escaped from the Game's clutches, the two men separated the women, whose battled seemed to be just as intense as the men's!

After the break, Trish and Angle were complaining to each other about Triple H and Stephanie when Mr. McMahon walked in. The chairman excused Angle and told Trish to take the night off -- and he said he was taking the night off with her! [wwf.com]

A pissed off Triple H and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley came to the ring as RAW exploded live from the Cajundome in Lafayette, LA! The Game, clutching a sledgehammer, told the sell-out crowd that he had been looking forward to going to Lafayette for a very long time - because he was supposed to be the champion, and it was supposed to be his night. But Stone Cold Steve Austin ruined all of Triple H's plans! Triple H went on to say he was tired of everything involving Stone Cold, so as soon as Austin got in the building, he would be waiting with his sledgehammer. He said Austin would see it coming, but he wouldn't be able to stop it. Triple H said that he would have his night, and he would finish it by standing over Stone Cold's bloodied body!

Kurt Angle's music then hit and the World Wrestling Federation Champion came out and told Triple H he should stop whining. Angle said the only person who cost the Game the title, it was Kurt Angle. Kurt said that Triple H should spend less time crying and more time trying and he might actually win something! After the Game threatened Angle with a sledgehammer, Kurt suggested that Triple H couldn't beat anyone with natural ability - he always won using foreign objects! The Game then challenge Kurt for the title later on RAW - a challenge Kurt accepted!

Trish Stratus decided it was time to come out and issue a challenge of her own! Trish demanded that Stephanie face her one-on-one later on RAW! Stephanie was more than happy to accept, but she warned Trish that she was in for a painful spanking later!

In the parking lot, Triple H awaited the arrival of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Meanwhile, Trish Stratus walked into Vince McMahon's locker room! Behind Mr. McMahon's closed dressing room door, Trish's voice was heard saying, "Oh that's very nice!" Trish finally emerged from Mr. McMahon's dressing room. Before she left, Mr. McMahon told her that she forgot her hat. When she came out, her hair was a mess and she was sweating!

It was time for the Mixed Tag Team main event. Triple H gained the early advantage with a baseball slide and took the action to the floor, ramming Angle's head repeatedly into the announce table. Once back in the ring, the Game continued his assault and went to work on Angle's left knee -- the same knee Triple H worked over at Royal Rumble. A courageous champion fought back with a neckbreaker and tagged in Trish. In came Stephanie, who was pulled by the hair and thrown to the canvas by Angle! Stephanie answered with a slap to the face of a remorseful Angle. Later, Stephanie thwarted a Trish attempted leap of the top. The two ladies exchanged some slaps to the face and the cat fight was on!

Stephanie rammed Trish's head into the turnbuckle, kicked her repeatedly in the gut and clotheslined her down. Trish came right back with a bulldog and went for the pin, but Triple H broke up the count and Pedigreed Trish! Stephanie took advantage and covered Trish for the one-two-three win! As Triple H and Angle exchanged words after the match, Stone Cold Steve Austin hit the ring and attacked Triple H! A Stone Cold Stunner left the Game laying in the center of the ring.

Jericho took on Triple H. Prior to the match, Y2J said it was appropriate that the match came about due to a lottery.

Mr. McMahon walked  to the ring, carrying a heart-shaped box of chocolates. The chairman said he wanted to share a heartfelt moment with the fans -- his Valentine's Day gift to his wife, Linda.  Mr. McMahon then showed footage on the TitanTron of him visiting Linda at the home.

In the footage, the chairman told his desolate wife that he still loved her, which is why he placed her in such a ritzy sanitarium. He then handed his wife some roses, although he said it was too bad she couldn't appreciate them, the same way he said she never appreciated him. Mr. McMahon then said that his wedding band was a token of just how much he still loved her -- and he showed her his wedding band, which was conveniently on his middle finger! He said that a lot of people thought that he and Linda were divorced, but he said he wisened up once she got sick.

He said that when she got sick, he got 100 percent of everything, but if he had gotten divorced, then Linda would have gotten 50 percent of everything. Vince also said that Valentine's Day was about friendship -- and he brought in Trish Stratus. The chairman introduced Trish to Linda. Trish said that Linda reminded her of her grandmother. Trish then kissed Linda on the forehead, and said that Linda was cold as ice. Mr. McMahon said that some things never change. The chairman then said that since Linda couldn't appreciate the roses anyway, he was going to give them to someone who would appreciate them -- and he gave the roses to Trish! Mr. McMahon and Trish then left Linda sitting there.

Back in the ring, Mr. McMahon introduced the crowd to two of his closest friends -- William Regal and Trish Stratus! The two walked to the ring, and Mr. McMahon gave the box of chocolates to Trish. Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley then walked to the ring with a look on her face which could turn a man to stone. The chairman told his daughter to stay away from the ring -- but Stephanie got in the ring, speared Trish and slapped Regal! Regal and Mr. McMahon separated the two ladies, who were irate at each other!

Back in the parking area, an angry Trish told Mr. McMahon that she wanted to fight Stephanie! Mr. McMahon said no, and he and Regal put Trish into a limousine. Regal then suggested to Mr. McMahon that a Stephanie-Trish match on Pay-Per-View could make a pretty penny for the chairman, and the owner -- who just moments earlier was repulsed by the thought -- suddenly he seemed interested in making such a match for No Way Out! [wwf.com]


02/19/01 Monday Night Raw
In a backstage parking area, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley were shown waiting for Trish Stratus. Stephanie promised that as soon as Trish arrived, she would show her who was the dominant female in the World Wrestling Federation.

Stephanie told Triple H that she was going to go for a walk to clear her head before their match against William Regal and Trish Stratus later in the night.

Stephanie couldn't wait until the match later in the night -- she headed straight to the ring! Stephanie said that her father wasn't at the arena, which left her in control. Stephanie said she was disgusted by the footage of her father's and Trish's visit to the sanitarium to see Linda McMahon, which aired last Thursday on SmackDown!

Stephanie said that her father and her had worked very hard to put her mother in her place, since there was only room for one dominant female per family. In the World Wrestling Federation, Stephanie said that female was her. Stephanie said that she had taken care of her mom, but now she had another meddlesome bitch to deal with! She said that Trish should have stayed in the backseat, where she was more comfortable! Stephanie said she wasn't afraid of anybody, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, who she had slapped last Monday on RAW!

Stephanie then said that since Triple H wasn't ready yet, she wanted Trish in the ring one-on-one right now! Instead, out came Stone Cold Steve Austin! The Rattlesnake thanked Stephanie for reminding him what she did to him last week on RAW! Austin said that since he couldn't touch Triple H, he had a present for Stephanie -- and Stone Cold then gave Stephanie a Stone Cold Stunner! Triple H ran to the ring in a fit of rage as Austin left Stephanie and her husband in the ring!

After a commercial break, a medical technician checked on Stephanie as an irate Triple H trashed his locker room! As Trish and William Regal watched the footage of Stephanie, Trish said that the Stunner would be nothing compared to what she would do to Stephanie at No Way Out. William suggested that they go back to their hotel, considering the kind of mood Stone Cold was in. Trish resisted, but William insisted. [wwf.com]


02/22/01 Thursday Smackdown
Backstage, a limousine pulled into a parking area.

Backstage, Kurt Angle approached William Regal and Trish Stratus. Angle told Trish that it's been great having her in his corner, but he didn't want The Rock to have any excuses at No Way Out, so he was ending their business relationship. Regal said it was a great idea, because now Trish could accompany him to the ring, starting later in the night on SmackDown! when he battled Test. Trish said she had another obligation for the night, and she walked away.

In the parking area, Trish approached the limo, opened the door, and told someone inside that she had been waiting for them all night. Trish then climbed into the limo.  After a commercial break, the limo was again shown -- only this time, the windows were all fogged up, and Trish could be heard moaning and groaning!

In the McMahon/Helmsley locker room, Stephanie was shown watching footage of the steamy limo. Stephanie looked sick to her stomach. She then ran out of her locker room saying she would show Trish who daddy's little girl was.

Stephanie then ran to the backstage parking area, where she banged on the doors of the limo, demanding for Trish to show her face. But Trish snuck up from behind and knocked Stephanie head-first into the limo! The entire thing had been a ruse, designed to trick Stephanie! Trish relentlessly attacked Stephanie, even throwing her into a pile of manure which was on hand for a farm show! Trish dumped a bucket of mud onto Stephanie's head, as Mrs. Game just cried and screamed! [wwf.com]


02/23/01 Internet Rumors
Also this Sunday Trish Stratus is going to be wrestling Vince’s daughter Stephanie. One big rumor that is expected to take place in this match is Vince McMahon completely leaving Stephanie and going with Trish. Vince is expected to screw over his daughter in this match up and leave with her enemy. Also this could set up a feud between HHH and Vince. [Thomas Leydier]

----- A lot of planning is being put into the Trish Stratus vs. Stephanie match. The feud is still on its basic foundations, and there is plenty more life remaining. By all means, look for the rivalry to continue after No Way Out, all the way through till Wrestlemania. Of course Wrestlemania is where a lot of disagreements are settled, so look for the theory to come into play in this case. [James Dylan]


02/25/01 No Way Out PPV
Mr. McMahon and William Regal talked in the locker room. Mr. McMahon told Regal that the Stephanie/Trish match was Regal's idea.

Shane McMahon came to the ring for a public announcement. Shane said that it was a great thrill ride to be Vince's son. He said he grew up watching Vince do what he wanted to do to whomever he wanted to do. And Shane also watched people try, and fail trying, to stop Vince - Stone Cold, The Rock, Mick Foley among them. Shane then asked Vince if he wanted to play, because he was holding a contract, one that would allow Vince and Shane to play at the biggest show in the business! Shane then challenged Vince to a match at WrestleMania, if Vince had the grapefruits!

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley instantly came to the ring upon hearing Shane's challenge. Stephanie said that Vince was doing what he was doing to Linda because he loved them! Stephanie then demanded Shane to rip up the contract! As she continued to beg Shane to change his mind, Vince McMahon and Trish Stratus came out to the stage! Mr. McMahon said that he could only think of one thing - Linda sitting watching Shane in the ring. Vince said he didn't think Linda would be very proud of him. Vince then sent Trish down to the ring to grab the contract so Vince could sign it. Vince walked down to the ring saying he'd never backed down from a challenge in his life, and he signed the contract! Then Vince climbed up in to the ring, as Stephanie tried to keep her father and her brother separated. Before Vince got in the ring, Triple H ran down and attacked Shane from behind! Mr. McMahon told the Game to Pedigree Shane, and Vince told Shane he would never forgive Linda for giving birth to him!

Vince said he would wheel Linda down to the ring at WrestleMania so she could watch Vince beat Shane's ass! Triple H's beating of Shane continued in the back, where the Game beat Shane across the parking area as Vince screamed on! As Vince told Shane their WrestleMania match would be a street fight, Triple H shoved Shane into a limo, and Vince told the driver to take him home to his mother! [wwf.com]

For those of you interested in Stephanie's dating status here's a quote from the April 2001 issue of RAW Magazine. "Dating can be difficult, especially because you never really know where someone's coming from. But I really am a hopeless romantic and believe that when it's meant to be it will just be." For you "marks" out there, no she's not married to Triple H in real life. And apparently not dating anyone seriously right now. [OWOW]

In a backstage parking area, a limo pulled into the arena. The license plate said "WCW 1." Shane McMahon then got out of the limo! The Boy Wonder walked into the arena, saying hi to Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero on his way in. Angle was apparently telling Eddie that he never tapped out to Chris Benoit's crossface on RAW!

Backstage, Shane exchanged pleasantries with Billy Gunn, who congratulated Shane on his purchase of WCW. Stephanie then walked up to Shane, irate that he has bought WCW from right under Vince's nose! She said that Vince was going to kill Shane at WrestleMania -- and Shane said he would worry about it on Sunday! Shane then walked away with a big smile on his face! [wwf.com]


04/01/01 Wrestlemania X-Seven PPV
Backstage, Mr. McMahon told Trish to wheel Linda to ringside once Shane was immobile. As Vince and Stephanie were about to head to the ring, Michael Cole entered his locker room and asked about the shocking developments involving Vince and Shane from Monday night. Mr. McMahon said that something shocking would happen at WrestleMania -- in fact, he guaranteed it!

WCW chairman Shane McMahon was psyched for the street fight against his father, World Wrestling Federation chairman Vince McMahon. Prior to the match, Shane gave a special shoutout to some of his new friends from WCW, who were sitting in the skybox at the Astrodome. Shane then introduced the special referee for the bout. Mr. McMahon was accompanied to ringside by Stephanie, whose jumpsuit was adorned with the words "Daddy's Girl."

Vince slapped Shane as the match got underway. Vince choked out his son, but Shane battled back. Stephanie then got in the ring and slapped Shane!

Shane continued to battle with Vince, as the fight continued outside the ring. Shane scored with a clothesline off the security wall, and then got out a kendo stick from under the ring, nailing his father repeatedly! Shane then started jukin' and jivin', punching his father loopy! With Vince down, Shane took the top off the Spanish announcer's table. He hit his dad in the head with a TV monitor and put his dad on the table. Shane then went to the top rope and went for the elbow -- but Stephanie moved Vince from the table, sending Shane crashing through!

Suddenly, Trish walked down the aisle, wheeling down a sedated Linda McMahon! Trish looked like she was helping Vince to get up, but she instead slapped Vince! Stephanie then slapped Trish, but Trish slapped right back! Trish and Stephanie got in the ring and battled it out. Mick Foley pulled Stephanie off Trish, and Stephanie slapped Mick. Stephanie then slapped Mick, and Mick and Trish chased Stephanie from the ring!

With Shane still out, Vince realized that his sedated wife was at ringside. Vince looked at her with evil intentions, but Mick came back and told Vince not to think about doing anything. As Mick tried to wheel Linda from ringside, Mr. McMahon assaulted Mick with a steel chair. Vince then grabbed Linda's wheelchair and put his sedated wife into the ring! Mr. McMahon sat up a chair in the corner and sat Linda down. He then went outside the ring to get Shane -- he wanted to make Linda watch him torture Shane!

Mr. McMahon threw four garbage cans into the ring, nailing Shane with one of them, and screaming at Linda as he did so! But when he turned his back on Linda for the third time, Linda arose from her chair, much to Vince's shock! Linda then kicked her own husband below the belt! Mick Foley continued the assault for Linda, and then Shane got involved. Shane then put a trash can in Vince's face in one corner, and ascended the turnbuckle on the other side of the ring. The Boy Wonder then dropkicked the trash can into his father's head from across the ring! Shane then pinned Vince to win the match, and gave his mom a big hug! [wwf.com] For pics - Click Here.

One day after Mr. McMahon helped Stone Cold Steve Austin defeat The Rock at WrestleMania X-Seven, RAW exploded live from Ft. Worth Texas!

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley walked out to the center of the ring carrying a leather strap! She said that when Trish slapped Mr. McMahon at WrestleMania, Stephanie couldn't believe that Trish could do that after everything Vince had done for her! Stephanie said that she was going to get revenge later - in a whipping match!

As Commissioner William Regal spoke to his mother on the phone in his office, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley came in to make sure Trish couldn't weasel her way out of the whipping match later. Regal reassured Stephanie that the match would go on as planned. A few moments later, Vince came in to ask Regal if he knew what to do during the whipping match. Regal said he did.

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley went to the ring for her whipping match, and as Trish Stratus made her way down the ramp, Stephanie ran up and attacked her! The two eventually made their way back in to the ring, where Stephanie used her strap to try and choke out Trish! Trish finally got up and hit Stephanie with a bulldog, leaving Stephanie lying in the ring! Trish began whipping Stephanie with complete disregard! As Trish whipped Stephanie, William Regal slammed Trish and held her down so Stephanie could smack her! Then, Chris Jericho ran down to the ring and chased both Regal and Stephanie away!

In the back, Stephanie screamed at Regal about Jericho interfering in her match. Regal said he would team with Kurt Angle to punish Jericho in a handicap match! [wwf.com] For Pics - Click Here.

TSN in Canada apparently censored Trish Stratus attack at the hands of William Regal. The impression of a mugging was given with Regal holding the helpless Trish as Stephanie whipped her in the abs repeatedly with a strap. However, Rhyno's gore to Molly Holly later on in the evening was not at all censored. Other than that, TSN did pretty good compared to past World Wrestling Federation pay-per-views. [Adrian Wilson]


04/09/01 Monday Night Raw
In their locker room, the Hardys discussed their match against Stephanie, Austin and Triple H. As Matt worried, he asked Jeff what he thought. Jeff replied by saying the opportunity was awesome, and he couldn't wait to get out there and beat them! Lita and Matt agreed and the three got ready to go.

As Stephanie prepared for her match later, Stone Cold and Triple H spoke to each other. When Stephanie asked to be included on the conversation, the two men said they were done.

In a six-person intergender tag team match, the Hardy Boyz and Lita took on World Wrestling Federation Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin, Intercontinental Champion Triple H and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. The match began with Austin and Triple H going after the Hardys, and Stephanie knocked Lita out of the ring. The Hardys isolated the Game and nailed him with Poetry in Motion, and Jeff hit him with a corkscrew off the top rope! Jeff then attempted to pin Triple H, with help from Matt, but the Game kicked out and tagged in Austin. Matt Hardy then began pounding on Austin in the corner and went for a cover, but Austin kicked out! Jeff Hardy was tagged in, and Austin began punishing him with fierce right hands. Stone Cold tagged in Triple H, who continued to brutalize Jeff, but Jeff was able to escape and tag in his brother, who flew in and hit both Austin and Triple H with a double-clothesline! The match then spilled out of the ring, while in the ring, Lita hit Stephanie with the Twist of Fate and a moonsault! Lita then covered Stephanie for the win!

After the match, Triple H and Austin assaulted Lita with a steel chair and a Pedigree! Stone Cold then laid out both Hardy Boyz with his steel chair! Lita then rolled on top of Matt Hardy, trying to protect him from further beatings, but Austin just hit her with a chair! The Game then pulled Lita up by the hair, leaving her defenseless as Austin hit her with a Stunner! All three members of Team Extreme were left lying as RAW went off the air! [wwf.com]


04/12/01 Thursday Smackdown
The Rattlesnake said that the Hardys and Lita were in the wrong place at the wrong time. He said he felt no remorse for what he did to Lita on RAW IS WAR, and added that there wasn't a single sumbitch in the locker room who could stop him or Triple H.

As Austin mocked the crowd, Jeff Hardy attacked Triple H from behind with a chair, and then hit the Rattlesnake! With Austin and the Game reeling, Stephanie went up to Jeff and slapped him across his face! Jeff retaliated by nailing Stephanie with the Twist of Fate! Jeff then fled the ringside area as an irate Triple H and Stone Cold tried to recover!

After the commercial break, Commissioner William Regal watched footage of what had just happened, calling it an outrage. Triple H entered the commissioner's office, and an enraged Game told Regal that nobody did that to his wife, and he wanted a piece of Jeff Hardy on SmackDown! Regal said he would take care of it.

Jeff Hardy entered Commissioner Regal's office, and Regal informed him that he would be receiving an Intercontinental Championship match against the Game on SmackDown! Regal then told Jeff never to put his hands on a woman ever again, and when Jeff tried to complain about what Austin and the Game did to Lita, Regal just ignored him and told him to stay away from Stephanie! Regal said that if Jeff ever put his hands on Stephanie again, then he would never receive another title shot -- and Jeff said that after SmackDown!, he might not ever need another title shot, since he could be the new Intercontinental Champion!

A medical technician checked on Stephanie's neck. The billion-dollar princess complained to Triple H that not only had Jeff injured her neck, but he had also broken her earring -- her really expensive diamond ones! The Game told Stephanie to stay backstage to get medical attention, and he promised to kick Jeff's ass just for her.

The main event on SmackDown! was an Intercontinental Championship match, as Triple H defended against Jeff Hardy. With Stone Cold, Matt Hardy and Lita not in the arena, and with Stephanie backstage still nursing her neck injury suffered earlier in the night, the bout was set to be straight-up one-on-one for the title. The Game gained control of the match, but soon made a mistake by mouthing off to the referee, and then shoving him down. That gave Matt Hardy -- who had been at the arena all along -- the opportunity to sneak into the ring and nail Triple H in the head with a chair, allowing Jeff to hit the Swanton and score the pin! [wwf.com]


04/16/01 Monday Night Raw

Triple H came back with a face-buster and went for the pin, but Lita pulled him off! The match spilled outside the ring, where Jeff smacked the Game with the Intercontinental Title!

Triple H began to climb the ropes, but Jeff followed him up and hit the Game with a Hurricanrana off the top rope! Hardy then tried for a Swanton Bomb, but the Game rolled away! As Matt Hardy watched on in the back, Stone Cold attacked him! Lita saw what happened on the TitanTron, and she began to go back to help Matt, but Stone Cold met her at the entrance!

Afterwards, Matt ran out, but Austin and Triple H continued to put a beating on both Hardys! Stephanie then tossed Lita into the ring, and just as Austin and Triple H were about to go after her, Undertaker and Kane came out to the ring! Austin and Triple H ran to the back as Taker and Kane entered the ring! [wwf.com]


04/20/01 Internet Rumor
The WWF is having trouble using Trish right now after the controversy that her segment with McMahon caused. However they feel an obligation to do something. When she was at WWF New York on Monday she was very nervous because she had nothing to say. No girl would ever say the things Trish said, and she had to say them in front of millions of people. Also she and Steph did a very revealing spread for a popular magazine. [Josh Peterson]

WebMaster's Note: I feel that there are two things wrong with part of the above rumor. One, you notice that the term " a popular magazine" is used. It seems to me that if this was "official" the reporter would have named the magazine.  Second, I can't see Stephanie the person or Vince McMahon as her Dad, allowing her to do a "revealing spread". Why would she?


04/27/01 Internet News - Statement By Jerry "The King" Lawler On His Web Site
I guess the biggest attention getter was an appearance by Stacy and I on Mancow's radio show in Chicago. Now, for those of you who don't know, Mancow is the top radio personality in Chicago and his show is syndicated around the country. He certainly wouldn't like me to say this, but his style is similar to Howard Stern, meaning they are what some refer to as "shock jocks." Mancow will say absolutely anything on his show and ask his guests some very provocative questions. But it's all in fun....or at least it's meant to be. I don't think anything heard on Mancow's radio show should be taken completely serious. Let's face it, how serious can you take a guy whose sidekick on the show is named "Turd?" Anyway, we were asked to be on Mancow's show to plug a wrestling event we were appearing at in Kinosha, Wisconsin, a city midway between Chicago and Milwaukee.

Also on the show that morning was Susan Hawk, the lady truck driver from the "Survivor" show, and by the way, she was very nice and very personable, and a huge King and Stacy fan! She loves wrestling and kept saying she couldn't believe she was on the same show with us! So Mancow was asking us all all sorts of questions and suddenly he fired out, "King, do you hate Vince McMahon now, after what he's done to you?" to which I answered, "No, I don't hate Vince McMahon." Then Mancow said, "Well, if you heard that Vince was killed in a car accident would you cry?" My answer was, "I wouldn't want to see that happen to anyone, but I don't know if I would actually cry." Then Mancow immediately switched off Vince and said, "I think Vince's daughter Stephanie is a hottie...King, do you think Stephanie would be wild in the sack?" My answer was, "Well, I've heard from Bruce Prichard that she is!" Now before you have time to explain your answers, Mancow is off onto another subject. Next he said, "Let's be honest King, the guy who replaced you, Paul Heyman, or whatever his name is...he sucks! Don't you think he sucks??? Then everyone in the studio started yelling "He Sucks!!" So finally, I said "OK, He sucks!"

If you had actually been listening to the show you would have known that the entire interview was in a lighthearted vein and in jest, but lo and behold, by the time it was translated into written word on the internet, I read all sorts of things that I supposedly said! One site reported that "Jerry Lawler was on the radio and said he hoped Vince McMahon dies in a car wreck and he said that Bruce Prichard and Stephanie McMahon were sleeping together! Now I thought my first answer was pretty clear but I can see where it might have been misinterpreted, so let me make a couple of things perfectly clear. I don't hate Vince McMahon. I don't hope Vince McMahon or anyone ever dies in a car accident. I'm not even mad at Vince McMahon or anyone in the WWF right now. I might be mad at someone if I ever find out exactly what was behind Stacy's termination, but right now, we still don't know, so I'm not mad at anybody there.

Now about my answer to the Stephanie being "wild in the sack" question. First off, I did not mean to imply that Bruce Prichard was sleeping with Stephanie, but since I didn't get a chance to elaborate on the show it may have seemed that way. The truth is, when I was in the WWF, on more than one occasion Bruce and I had conversations concerning Stephanie. They were "guy type" conversations..commenting on how good she looked and what she might be like. Frankly, I think Stephanie is very attractive and can look incredibly sexy, but not knowing Stephanie very well personally, I always thought that was just a "look" that she was trying to achieve for her character on TV. One day, Bruce and I were talking about that "look" and I said something to the effect of, "Man, Stephanie looks hot!! Do you think she would be as hot as she looks?" To which Bruce replied, "Oh King, I could tell you some stories about how wild Stephanie is...even back to her college days!" Now by this, I knew Bruce didn't mean he had slept with Stephanie, but meant he had heard stories himself. So that's why I said what I said....It's just another example of how things get turned around on the internet.


04/30/01 Monday Night Raw
A limo pulled up outside the Bradley Center, and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley exited without her husband, Triple H, Mr. McMahon or Stone Cold Steve Austin. Michael Cole pulled Stephanie and asked her about Backlash, and couldn't help notice the bruise on her face. Steph said that Kane would pay for what he did to her when Mr. McMahon arrived. The princess then began to look for Test, who she said would learn to stay out of her family business!

Stephanie then found Test in the back, and angrily scolded him for getting involved in Shane McMahon's match with the Big Show at Backlash. Stephanie added that since Test enjoyed interfering in family matters, Mr. McMahon booked him a match with Triple H!

Mr. McMahon and Stephanie made their way to the ring for the chairman's State of the Federation address. Mr. McMahon started by saying he was infinitely proud of Steve Austin and Triple H because they were different from anyone else, in that both refuse to live a life of mediocrity. Instead, they seize the moment, they create their own rules and they are leaders. Mr. McMahon then said he'd be remiss if he didn't mention what he thought were two blemishes at Backlash -- Shane McMahon's win over the Big Show, and Kane nailing Stephanie in the face with his boot, giving her a bruise on the side of her mouth.

As a result -- in the interest of fairness and complying with Austin's wish to defend the Federation Championship -- Mr. Mr. McMahon ruled that Austin would go one-on-one with Kane with the Federation Championship on the line. Mr. McMahon then turned the mic over to his daughter Stephanie, who introduced Austin and Triple H -- holders of every major championship in the Federation. Before the Power Trip had a chance to gloat, Linda McMahon appeared on the TitanTron live from WWF New York! Linda hated to spoil the party, but she indicated that Mr. McMahon's private life was a mess. She announced that their divorce attorneys were scheduled to meet this Friday, but she was willing to halt those proceedings if certain events were to occur.

So, in the interest of fairness, Linda ruled that since Kane's physical condition prevented him from competing for the Federation Championship -- and that he should have the night off -- Austin was to defend the title against the Undertaker! With that, Linda wished Mr. McMahon a good night! [wwf.com]


05/03/01 Thursday Smackdown
The first match on SmackDown! was for the Intercontinental Championship, as Triple H defended his title against the man he won it from -- Jeff Hardy. Matt Hardy and Lita accompanied Jeff to the ring, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley seconded the Game, and Stone Cold came to ringside to provide color commentary for the bout. A few minutes into the bout, the Undertaker came through the crowd and attacked Stone Cold from behind! The Taker chased the Rattlesnake from ringside. The Game pinned Jeff following a Pedigree -- but instead of celebrating his win, Triple H immediately ran backstage to help his partner.

Backstage, Taker looked for Austin, but he was ambushed by the Rattlesnake. But the Taker recovered -- and tossed Stone Cold through a plate glass window, shattering it! As Taker was escorted away, Mr. McMahon and Triple H found Austin in a bloody heap, clutching his eyes and screaming that he couldn't see! Moments later, the Rattlesnake told a trainer that he couldn't see a thing out of his left eye. Triple H suggested that he may have glass in his eye -- and the trainer immediately called for an ambulance.

Backstage, EMT's wheeled Austin to a waiting ambulance, as the Rattlesnake screamed that he didn't deserve this. The Game got in the ambulance with Austin and screamed at the driver to leave for the hospital -- but the driver was the Undertaker! The Dead Man pounded on Triple H and Mr. McMahon, and then layed it in to a prone Rattlesnake! Finally, the Taker was escorted away, and Austin and the Game left for the hospital.

Moments later, Debra arrived to the arena.  In the McMahon/Helmsley locker room, Vince and Stephanie were talking about all the night's events when Debra walked in. Mrs. Austin said she couldn't find her husband anywhere, and she asked if something was wrong. Mr. McMahon tried to calmly tell her the news, but Stephanie spilled the beans! The Federation chairman said he would get Debra a ride to the hospital, and also told her that the Undertaker was still in the arena, if she wanted to get his side of the story.

Debra entered the Taker's locker room and confronted him, saying her husband had better be OK. Taker said that this had nothing to do with her, and Debra slapped the Taker! The Dead Man said that Debra hit just as hard as her husband, and he told her to go tell Austin so! Debra then left for the hospital.

Hand in hand, Mr. McMahon and Stephanie walked to the ring. Mr. McMahon asked the fans what was wrong with them -- Kane kicks Stephanie, and they cheer. Taker throws Stone Cold through a window, and they cheer. Mr. McMahon asked the crowd where their morals were, and he promised that they wouldn't be cheering when Taker met his mystery opponent, who had a grudge to pick with the Dead Man.

Suddenly, the Undertaker appeared on the stage, and started walking to the ring! Mr. McMahon demanded that the Taker stop, but the Dead Man got in the ring! The Federation chairman said that this wasn't Taker's yard, it was his ring! Vince then reminaded the Undertaker that he's Vince McMahon, dammit -- and the Taker clocked the chairman with a huge right hand, knocking him out cold! The Undertaker then told a petrified Stephanie to tell Vince -- once he woke up -- that the Dead Man had reclaimed his yard!

Coach interviewed Triple H backstage, and the Game said that his business relationship with Rikishi was now officially over. Triple H said that no one puts his hands on Stephanie. Coach then reminded the Game that Rikishi hadn't put his hands on Stephanie -- and the Game chased Coach away, irate that Coach had brought up the Stink Face!

Looking to gain a measure of revenge after Rikishi gave Stephanie a Stink Face on RAW, Triple H took on the 400-pounder on SmackDown! Prior to the bout, Stephanie said that Rikishi had made her look ridiculous on RAW, and a woman in her position couldn't afford to look ridiculous. She promised that Triple H would make Rikishi look ridiculous on SmackDown! Rikishi laughed at the Billion-Dollar Princess as he walked to the ring.

With Rikishi prone, Triple H held the 400-pounder so that Stephanie could slap him. Moments later, Test ran to the ring to attack Triple H, and Big Show followed soon after to assault Test. A melee ensued, and it looked like Rikishi was going to give Stephanie another Stink Face! But Rikishi became sidetracked with the Big Show, and Triple H saved his wife. Rikishi still got to back that ass up, though -- after a savate kick and an avalanche, the Big Show was easy prey for the Stink Face! Test and Rikishi just laughed as an irate Big Show left the ring!

In the parking area, Stephanie and Triple H got into a limo and left the arena -- Stephanie said she was absolutely petrified of getting another Stink Face. [wwf.com]

As the match began, the Game pounded on Kane with a steel chair, aiming for Kane's already broken left arm. Triple H then attached the steel chain to Kane's broken arm!

Kane nailed the Game in the face with the chain, but the Game retaliated by pulling on the chain, trying to hyperextend Kane's arm. Outside the ring, Triple H tossed Kane into the ring steps, but Kane knocked the chain into Triple H's head, busting the Game wide open!

Triple H is hobbling around the backstage area on crutches. His entire left leg is heavily bandaged, with a brace on top of the bandages. Most of his World Wrestling Federation Superstar peers see him, embrace him, offer their sympathies and wish him well. But The Game is in good spirits and he jokes that he was just looking for a way to take the summer off.

But the four-time Federation Champion's injury is no laughing matter. On Monday night's RAW IS WAR, Chris Jericho had Stone Cold Steve Austin locked in the Walls of Jericho. Triple H came from behind and clobbered Y2J. But when The Game planted his left leg, he immediately knew that something was wrong. He could barely stand. But he somehow finished the match, even taking the Walls of Jericho on the announcers' table.

On Tuesday, Triple H made plans to fly to Birmingham, Ala., to have surgery on Thursday. Dr. James Andrews, the world-renowned orthopedic surgeon, will perform the operation.

----- Triple H's surgery was successful, and as of this point, it is up in the air what Stephanie McMahon's role will be during the next three to five months without Triple H in the scene. [Joe D'Ambrose]


05/31/01 Thursday Smackdown
Speaking from a medical facility in Birmingham, Alabama, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley updated fans about Triple H's condition. She said her husband was under a lot of physical and emotional pain. She also addressed Stone Cold's claims from last week that Triple H was selfish. She pointed out that her husband had already torn his quadriceps when he came back to try and help Austin -- and Stephanie said that wasn't selfish; it was damn near heroic. Stephanie said that Austin was casting aspersions at a man who wasn't even in the arena last week, which she said was cowardly. She promised that Austin would get what he deserved once her husband returned a few months from now. [wwf.com]


07/06/01 Internet News
In the current issue of Time Magazine Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley is listed as "America's Best Wrestling Personality".


07/09/01 Monday Night Raw
A thumping music suddenly blared from the sound system as a line of men clad in ECW colors streamed down to the ring through the crowd! Making up the ECW squad - headed by ECW owner Paul Heyman -were Tazz, Rhyno, Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley, Lance Storm, Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, Justin Credible, Raven, Mike Awesome.

The ECW faction cleared the ring of all other athletes, until the WCW team entered the ring and looked ready to fight. Instead of punching, ECW and WCW hugged. Shane and Paul Heyman embraced in the middle of the ring as Vince took a microphone and asked what was going on. Shane told him to watch as the ECW/WCW team wrecked the Federation’s Superstars! Tazz locked the Tazzmission on Hardcore Holly; Faarooq took a 3-D, and virtually every other Federation member took a pounding.

Shane told Vince he knew he could never compete with his father’s checkbook, but the elder McMahon could be outsmarted by his offspring. Shane said he was responsible for everything that took place that night, including the merger of WCW and ECW. Shane promised that at Invasion ECW and WCW would kick the Federation’s ass!

But that’s not all, Shane said. He wanted to introduce Vince to the new owner of ECW… STEPHANIE MCMAHON-HELMSLEY! Vince gawked in bewildered disbelief as his princess strutted down the entrance ramp past him and joined her brother. RAW faded out with brother and sister joining raised hands in the ring!  [wwf.com]


07/12/01 Thursday Smackdown
Heyman said it was common knowledge that Vince McMahon had stolen all of ECW's concepts and attitude to become the success he was. He said Vince also took ECW's stars and cable deal, which ultimately ran them out of business. So Paul said if Vince was going to take everything from Paul, then he was going to take everything from him -- his children!

Paul admitted that he had been the mole all along, giving Shane all the information he needed to steal WCW! Paul said that wasn't enough; he also wanted to take the one constant in Vince's life -- Stephanie! He did so by seducing Stephanie with the power of becoming ECW owner! Paul told Vince the same thing that Vince once told his father -- get out of the way, or get squashed! He told Vince they would take what they wanted at Invasion.

Heyman then handed the microphone to Stephanie, who told Paul that he could call her "boss." Stephanie said that together, she and Shane had the power to run the Federation out of business! Stephanie said that she and Shane were better than Vince, simply due to evolution -- children were stronger, smarter, faster, and generally outlived their parents.  She said that she and Shane just couldn't wait for Vince to die. She said they were too impatient, so they decided to join forces to run Vince out of business forever. [wwf.com]


07/16/01 Monday Night Raw
Backstage, Stephanie was telling Booker T that she was so incredibly proud that he was the WCW World and U.S. Champion. Y2J Chris Jericho walked up and congratulated the Billion Dollar Princess for acquiring ECW. He said he finally knew what ECW stood for Every Customer Welcome. Booker T stepped in and said that Jericho was real tough talking to a lady like that. The WCW Champ challenged Y2J to a match, but Jericho said he would only accept it if the WCW Title was on the line! Stephanie accepted the match for Booker T. [wwf.com]


07/19/01 Thursday Smackdown
Shane said the face of sports entertainment will forever change this Sunday after Invasion. He stated that the World Wrestling Federation has been the best for years, but then again, they have never been faced with such as powerful an alliance as WCW and ECW. He reiterated that he and Stephanie had divested all their Federation stock to back their allied force, and that no Federation Superstar would deny them of their destiny.

Stephanie grabbed the mic and said that the Federation has run its course. She said that neither the decrepit "Classy" Freddie Blassie or the "old" Stone Cold could change what was inevitably going to happen this Sunday. The Billion Dollar Princess said that her father, Vince, should remember one thing come this Sunday -- she and Shane have no problem playing dirty.

Back in his locker room, Mr. McMahon was watching the actions of Shane, Stephanie and Heyman on his television when Chris Jericho entered the room. Y2J asked him if heard what they had said, and Vince said that he was hurt by the words of his children. However, he said that actions speak louder than words, and this Sunday, the 'old' Stone Cold Steve Austin would lead Team WWF to victory over Team WCW/ECW. Jericho then asked him if he had heard what he had said about Stephanie on RAW, saying that ECW now stands for "Every Customer Welcome," and that she was the Queen of Hardcore. The Federation chairman said that indeed he was upset because he would have preferred that he called her a no-good, bottom-feeding, trashbag, disgusting tramp!
[wwf.com]


07/23/01 Monday Night Raw
Stephanie told the Buffalo crowd that she didn't blame them for being angry, because the truth is a bitter pill to swallow. Stephanie said that WCW/ECW would dominate Invasion, and they did, as well as win the Inaugural Brawl! She also promised that the WWF would begin to die now that Stone Cold Steve Austin had jumped ship. [wwf.com]


08/02/01 Thursday Smackdown
Chris Jericho was walking backstage when he ran into Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. Y2J said that this is Washington, D.C., so where was her cigar? Jericho then started making fun of a pimple on Stephanie's chin as Edge & Christian approached. E&C called Stephanie dirty, disgusting and a trashbag, and Jericho added that she was a tramposauras rex! Stephanie said that the members of the Alliance would make Y2J and E&C pay, as she ran away crying! [wwf.com]


08/06/01 Monday Night Raw
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley strutted to the ring to the sounds of Drowning Pool's "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor," and she was a woman on a mission. Stephanie said that the bodies of the World Wrestling Federation would hit the floor at SummerSlam. She also said that The Rock's body would hit the floor, if was willing to accept Booker T's challenge. Stephanie claimed that Rocky was afraid of the WCW Champion and of the Alliance. She also said Rock was afraid of facing Shane in a street fight on RAW.

The Billion Dollar Princess pointed out that it had been four months since Rock was in a Federation ring, and that the People's Champion was doubting his abilities. She said that Shane had defeated Big Show in a Last Man Standing match, and had stood toe-to-toe in a match with Kurt Angle. She said there was just one word that accurately described Shane -- Gladiator! She said that no matter what the odds, Shane always came out on top!

Suddenly, the Y2J countdown began, and out came Chris Jericho! Jericho told Stephanie not to sell herself short, since she always ended up on the bottom, on the side, upside down and bent over! He said that for her, a "SummerSlam" was a quickie on a hot summer night! He said when her body hits the floor, it was usually naked with a paying customer!

Stephanie told Jericho he was pretty funny, and he was pretty catty. She said he was like a girl in that way, and that his mouth always got him in trouble. She said she remembered numerous occasions when Triple H had beaten him up! Y2J said that The Game had been gone for such a long time, and he knew how lonely she was, and that she had been forced to form an alliance with many superstars, lighting guys, prop guys, and nearly everyone else! He said he thought she had been with everyone in both companies, and everyone on the planet earth! He said he had gone out of his way to set her up with a species from another planet -- members of the Planet of the Apes!

Suddenly, out came several people dressed as characters from Planet of the Apes, carrying gifts and flowers for Stephanie! Y2J introduced the apes to the Queen of the Planet of the Dirty, Brutal, Bottom-Feeding Trashbag Hos! Jericho said he knew the apes weren't as hairy and smelly as Stephanie was used to, but they came bearing flowers and a special gift -- a pie, which Y2J threw in Stephanie's face! Stephanie cried in the middle of the ring as Jericho celebrated his humiliation of the Billion Dollar Princess! [wwf.com]


08/09/01 Thursday Smackdown
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley watched footage of Chris Jericho throwing a pie in her face on RAW. She was then approached by Hugh Morrus, who promised to obliterate Y2J for the Billion Dollar Princess.

Chris Jericho took on Hugh Morrus. Y2J put the Laughing Man away with the Walls of Jericho. After the bout, Rhyno attacked Jericho, and Gored him through the SmackDown! set!

A few moments later, Stephanie told Rhyno how impressed she was with his actions. Rhyno asked for a match with Jericho at SummerSlam, and Stephanie said it was a great idea, as Rhyno smiled maniacally.
[wwf.com]


08/10/01 Internet Rumor
Once again, the WWF has begun to bring up the Chris Jericho/Stephanie McMahon feud where Jericho constantly comments about Stephanie and her "bottom-feeding" ways. Over the past few weeks of television, you've seen this feud elevate up to getting a decent amount of T.V time. Writers have decided to continue to work the feud in an effort to help keep Jericho over as a major face and Stephanie over as the major ECW owner heel role. The feud should continue on and off until Jericho's match at Summerslam with Rhyno, where Stephanie could in fact have a big role in the outcome of the match. [Mark Peters]


08/13/01 Monday Night Raw
"I feel good!" exclaimed Ms. McMahon-Helmsley. In fact, Stephanie said she felt great thanks to Rhyno goring Chris Jericho through the SmackDown! set last week. Stephanie said that Rhyno must have knocked Y2J's screw loose since he accepted a match against Rhyno at SummerSlam! Stephanie said she was so sure that Rhyno would destroy Jericho at SummerSlam that she wanted to escort him to the ring. Rhyno said it would be an honor. Stephanie asked to once again view the clip of last week's monster Gore, but Y2J's entrance music began playing instead!

Jericho admitted he was still feeling the effects of the Gore and that he had never beaten Rhyno. But at SummerSlam, he promised to take care of that slimy, greasy animal... and Rhyno too! Jericho commented that Stephanie guaranteed that Rhyno would get the job done, but Stephanie was the expert getting the job done! Jericho then said he had footage to prove that fact, as he showed a video still of a less-endowed Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. He then asked to put that photo next to a recent shot of Stephanie which showed that she had "grown a little the past year in two specific places at least." Let the bodies hit the floor? "I would say let the boobies hit the floor!" Jericho exclaimed to the riotous crowd.

Stephanie said she had no idea what Y2J was talking about and that he had some imagination. Y2J recommended the two go out to dinner to discuss the matter. There was a Hooter's merely blocks away! [wwf.com]


08/17/01 Internet News/Rumors
As far as Stephanie McMahon's breast enhancements, that was worked into the storyline due to obvious notice prior to the WWF creative team working it in. Stephanie was said to be 100% behind the trash-talking concerning her recent purchase. [Matthew Boone]

----- The Chris Jericho/Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley vignettes have started another rave of rumors on the Internet. Back when Triple H and Stephanie McMahon first formed the "McMahon-Helmsley Regime" rumors went rampant that Jericho's constant negative remarks towards WWF Chairman's daughter would lead into the two having a relationship and "screwing" Triple H. It has been previously reported that "The Game" plays backstage politics to his advantage to secure his spot as the "#1 Blonde-Heel" in the WWF which is what Jericho would be if he aligned with Stephanie. The current situation is much different as Vince McMahon personally doesn't see Jericho as a main-eventer, but a lot have been pushing for it to happen. The feeling is since the crowd is not hesitant to jump on Stephanie with less-than flattering remarks about her physique, that Jericho can exploit those in his promos and get more established and better over as a top tier baby face. Do not look for it to be a scheme as there is next to no chance that the Triple H-Stephanie McMahon on-air relationship will be torn while Triple H is rehabbing his injured quadriceps tear. [Joe D'Ambrose]


08/19/01 Summer Slam PPV
As the match began, Chris Jericho carried a huge monkey on his back - the fact that he had never been able to defeat Rhyno. The two men took it to each other early and often - and Jericho delivered a mean elbow from the top rope. It was an elbow that Rhyno found difficult to recover from, and Y2J kept the offensive juggernaut moving. When Jericho climbed to the top rope again, Stephanie grabbed at his ankle, allowing Rhyno to get to his feet. After Y2J kicked off Stephanie, he jumped toward Rhyno, who caught him by surprise with a Gore just as he landed!

The Man Beast pulled Jericho into the ring and started beating on him. Jericho yelled in pain as Rhyno tried to squeeze the life out of him with body scissors. When Rhyno went to end the match from the top rope, Jericho moved out of the way, and both men lie in the ring for almost a full ten-count. The two men made it to their feet, and the high-impact match continued.

Jericho eventually was able to hit Rhyno with a drop-kick and made a cover, but Stephanie distracted the referee! Y2J walked over and pushed the ref out of the way and then planted a huge kiss right on Stephanie! As Stephanie coughed and was nauseous outside the ring, Jericho tried to end the match with a Lionsault, but Rhyno was able to kick out! The Man Beat then went to lock Y2J into his own Walls of Jericho!

As Jericho screamed, he inched his way to the ropes - which caused Rhyno to break the hold! As Jericho tried to stand up, Rhyno measured him up for the Gore! Rhyno ran to hit Y2J, but he missed and hit the turnbuckle! Jericho was able to force Rhyno to tap to the Walls of Jericho not long after! As the match ended, Stephanie stormed her way to the backstage area! [wwf.com]


08/20/01 Monday Night Raw
Stephanie told Test that although they didn’t end their engagement on a great note, she felt they had grown up a lot since then. She thought that Test could help the Alliance tremendously, and she said he could start by taking out Chris Jericho on RAW! Test said that Stephanie always was a bitch, but he has always liked that about her. He said that he would battle Y2J later in the night!

Later, Chris Jericho made his way to the ring and told the crowd that, at SummerSlam, he had finally beat the vicious Rhyno. He said, however, that Rhyno showed him that he truly had a set, unlike Test. He said he was disgusted by the fact that Test had reunited with his ex-fiance, Stephanie. The comments led to Test coming to the ring, accompanied by Stephanie, for their one-on-one match. During the match, Y2J grabbed Steph, who was on the apron, when Rhyno made his way out. Rhyno and Jericho battled outside the ring, until Jericho turned his attention to the Billion Dollar Princess. He eventually chased her into the ring, where an awaiting Test nailed Y2J in the face with a big boot for the 1-2-3 win.

At the end of the evening Austin Appreciation Night was celebratedby the ECW/WCW. During the celebration a video highlighted every offensive maneuver that the Stone Cold had inflicted on Federation Superstars since joining Team WCW/ECW. Heyman then introduced the woman that had paid for the tribute, Mrs. Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. Steph told all the Alliance members to come into the ring to pay their respects to Stone Cold. The Billion Dollar Princess told Lilian Garcia to enter the ring and since their version of "Wind Beneath My Wings," which was appropriately titled "Wind Beneath Our Ring." Garcia began to sing, but Steph cut her off, asking her where her heart was? Steph said that she would take over and lead the crowd in song. Stephanie then proceeded to screech out the lyrics to the song, before Chavo, Terri and the rest of the Alliance chimed in to help.
[wwf.com]


08/23/01 Thursday Smackdown
Stone Cold told the crowd that Kurt Angle ruined Austin Appreciation Night this past Monday on RAW, but the Olympic hero would not get away with it. The Rattlesnake said that he should be appreciated 365 days a year anyway. Stephanie told Stone Cold that everyone in the Pepsi Arena appreciated the Texas Rattlesnake, but she was cut short by Chris Jericho’s music. The Lionheart made his way to the ramp and told Stephanie to shut the hell up! Y2J said that he knew the Alliance would be in full force on SmackDown! because they had the greatest weapon known to man - Stephanie’s singing voice! He even went on to play a clip from RAW, showing the Denver crowd how Stephanie crooned "Wind Beneath Our Ring." [wwf.com]


08/24/01 Internet Rumor
By the looks of it, all hard feelings between Test and Stephanie have been sorted out, and until Triple H returns, expect for Stephanie to accompany Test down to the ring. This will be a good way for Stephanie to get time on camera, because with Triple H out of action, her only role is being the ECW owner and a part of the Alliance. Another key factor that was discussed was that Test has always been pretty shaky on the mic. With Stephanie as Test's mouthpiece, the WWF is hopeful that Test could get more over and then he could receive the push he deserves. It is likely that Test may feud with Triple H when he returns. [Joe D'Ambrose]


08/27/01 Monday Night Raw
In the weight room, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley confronted Chris Jericho with some important news -- that no matter what happens in his tag team main event later that night, Y2J is O-U-T and that the initials RVD is in. Jericho said that RVD and Steph make a heck of a couple -- R-V-D and H-O-E. [wwf.com]


08/31/01 Internet Rumor
The WWF Creative Team is currently trying to develop a strong storyline for a divorce between Triple H and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley for after the Alliance storyline. The current plan is to make the HHH-SMH divorce drive a wedge through both federations, ending this on-going feud. The plans for this storyline have been talked about numerous times at Creative Team meetings but have not gotten on paper yet. The storyline would not take place for well over 3-4 months as the WWF Creative Team is happy with the WCW/ECW versus WWF storyline. [Matt Postoian]

----- Stephanie McMahon did not suggest the idea of Chris Jericho mocking her breast implants on RAW, but it was brought up in a production meeting and Stephanie claimed if it was a good stepping-stone for Jericho, that she was for the idea. Stephanie also requested that she take an accidental gore from Rhyno at SummerSlam, but was convinced by Triple H to withdraw her request. Many backstage say Stephanie is a great team-player and is more than willing to make herself look stupid, with examples such as the Austin-appreciation song, to better the company. [Matthew Boone]


09/03/01 Monday Night Raw
As Stone Cold and Debra arrived in the arena, the rest of the Alliance waited and surprised the Rattlesnake! Stephanie told Austin that he was inspiring, and that it was great to see what Austin did to Kurt Angle's gold medals. Austin said that he threw Angle's medals in the river for the whole Alliance. Austin asked if anyone had seen Angle lately, and Stephanie said no. She also added that the Alliance had a huge surprise planned for Stone Cold later in the night!

In Stone Cold's dressing room, Stephanie entered the room and Austin nearly jumped out of his skin! Austin told Steph that she needed to knock, because she scared Debra half to death. Stephanie apologized, and told Austin that his surprise was getting nearer. Austin told Stephanie that Debra was asking if Angle was anywhere nearby, and Stephanie told everyone not to worry, because Angle wouldn't show his face. As Austin went to drink a beer, he cracked it open and nearly jumped out of his skin again! Outside Stone Cold's locker room, Stephanie and Debra got ready to go pick up Austin's surprise. When they found out it was ready, Debra stuck her head in the door and told Austin not to come out until they told him to. Stephanie then made her way out to the ring.

The Princess told the Canadian crowd that they were backwards - for example, Canadians shouldn't celebrate Labour Day, because Canada is the laziest country in the world! Steph said that no worked harder than Americans, and the hardest working one is Stone Cold Steve Austin! Then, the most paranoid SOB in sports-entertainment walked out to the ring. Stephanie then showed Stone Cold his surprise - a brand new pickup truck! In the parking area, Debra showed off the features of Austin's new truck and then asked Stone Cold to come back to take her in a ride in it! Austin and Stephanie hurried their way to the back. When they got there, Austin said that he loved his new truck! As he admired it, Kurt Angle jumped out of a production truck and hit Austin from behind! He threw a cinder block with a chain attached to it in the truck and took off with Austin knocked out in the back!

In the Alliance dressing room, Stephanie called the "Canadian Police" and described Austin's truck when suddenly, footage appeared on the television of Kurt Angle and Stone Cold. Angle parked the car and started speaking to Austin, who was blindfolded and chained up. Angle took off the blindfold and showed Austin where they were - a river in Toronto. As Austin said he was sorry, Angle kept asking him "What?" Angle threatened to throw Austin over the bridge, and Stone Cold kept saying he was sorry, and Angle said he didn't want to do it. Austin said thank you, and Angle continued saying he didn't want to do it - but only because the bridge wasn't nearly high enough! Back at the arena, Stephanie demanded that the members of the Alliance get moving so someone could help Stone Cold!

At a different, higher, bridge in Toronto, Kurt Angle led Stone Cold to the edge. Stone Cold said that he was sorry for throwing his medals in the Detroit River, and that he would go back and get them. Angle said it was too late for that. Kurt said he wanted Austin to beg, and then he put the blindfold back on Austin! Angle said if he didn't beg and cry, Angle would throw Austin over the edge faster than Austin threw his medals over the edge last week!

Back in the ring, Debra pleaded with Kurt Angle not to hurt her husband. She cried and sobbed and said that Austin may be a bad guy, but he was the love of her life. She begged Kurt not to hurt her husband. At the bridge, Angle demanded for Austin to beg. Austin said he was sorry, and Angle kept asking him "What?" Austin said he was so sorry. Angle called him pathetic for begging him, and then told him to cry. Austin said he couldn't cry. Angle told him to cry, and Austin started crying. Angle called him pathetic and a joke! Austin said he was sorry and that he was such a jackass for throwing his medals into the river.

Angle said there was one thing he wanted more than his medals - a match for the WWF Championship! Austin said it was Angle's match to name, and Angle said he wanted it at Unforgiven in Angle's hometown of Pittsburgh, PA! Austin agreed. Then Angle said that Austin was still going in the water, and pushed him backwards into a wading pool Angle had set on the side of the road! [wwf.com]


09/10/01 Monday Night Raw
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Test winced while watching the action on TV backstage. Test said he was going to destroy The Rock just like that tonight, but he'd leave the title to be won by Booker T and Shane. He also said that breaking up with Stephanie was the best thing that ever happened to him because it toughened him up. Stephanie said that tonight, Test should take on The Rock in a handicap match, but let the WCW Champion choose who Test's partner will be. Test said it was ideas like that one that made Stephanie the most dominant female in sports entertainment.

Michael Cole knocked on The Rock's dressing room looking for an interview. Cole made a mistake by barging in on The Rock, who was in the shower. The Rock stormed out, and asked what in the blue hell was wrong with him. The Rock chastised Cole for rudely barging in on him then accused Cole of staring at The People's Strudel! Michael Cole finally got his interview with The Rock, asking who would be Test's partner. First, The Rock said he had two words for Cole: eye contact. The Rock said tonight provided practice for his handicap match at Unforgiven. The Rock said the person needed to be fast, easy to manipulate, and - because that person had to line up with Test - needed to have no testicles. That person would have to be Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley! The Rock said he couldn't wait to face the former lovers. He could practically hear the wedding theme. "Here comes a Test," The Rock sang. "With the woman with enormous breasts."

In the locker room. Stephanie stormed in and asked Test if he heard what The Rock said. Test said he didn't need Stephanie's help and that he would take on The Rock himself. Stephanie insisted on her involvement and said she would kick The Rock's ass! She ran off to prepare while Test continued to protest.

The main event of the evening began with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley personally introducing, "The man who will help me kick The Rock's ass ... Test!" Stephanie sat down next to Paul Heyman and donned a headset as The Rock emerged from beneath the TitanTron. Test got the early jump on The Great One and assumed control. The Rock battled back with a Samoan Drop and then hurled Test over the top rope. Once Test disabled Rocky outside the ring, Stephanie literally stepped in. She landed a series of kicks to The Rock's body before Test brought the WCW Champion back in the ring. Rock managed to kick out of Test's cover after taking a sidewalk slam.

The San Antonio crowd began chanting The Rock's name while Test pummled The Rock. A sudden DDT from The Rock sent both men to the mat and evened things up. The Rock then took over, landing a series of shots to Test in the corner. Test fell victim to a spinebuster and Rocky readied a People's Elbow. Stephanie averted the most electrifying move in sports entertainment by grabbing Rock's ankle when he neared the rope. Test took advantage and landed a Big Boot to Rock's face when The Great One turned around! Stephanie then tried to cover The Rock but he kicked out!

Rock threw Test out of the ring and went for a Rock Bottom on Stephanie, but Test caught Rock from begind. Booker T began walking to ringside, and managed to catch Stephanie just as Rock - thrown by Test - crashed into Stephanie. Test turned back to The Rock and found himself dropped by a Rock Bottom which allowed the WCW Champion to hold his title. [wwf.com]


09/13/01 Thursday Smackdown [2 Nights After The World Trade Center Tragedy]

During the show several of the WWF/Alliance Superstars were asked to express their feelings about the WTC tragedy:
Stephanie said a few years ago, some people tried to destroy her family. They attacked her parents reputation and the World Wrestling Federation. They tried to rip them apart, but all they did was make her family stronger. That's exactly how America feels right now, because on Tuesday, America was attacked, but America is a United Nation, and together, we stand strong. Stephanie is incredibly proud to be an American citizen and she will stand up for her rights and freedom!
[wwf.powerwrestling.com]


09/14/01 Internet News
Stephanie recently commented on her official site, WWFSteph.com, about the relationship between herself and Chris Jericho. Below is what the ECW owner had to say:

While it would not surprise me that Jericho might have a crush on me; I in NO WAY have any feelings toward Y2J besides contempt. Chris Jericho is a weasel. Chris Jericho is obnoxious, and Chris Jericho is completely unattractive to me. Since Jericho fancies himself as some kind of rock star, I was seeking him out on RAW to tell Jericho how out of style and out of touch he really is.
[Amish Patel]


09/17/01 Monday Night Raw
In Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley's locker room, Shane asked her what she was thinking when she teamed with Test to take on The Rock last week! Stephanie said she had a plan, but it went wrong. Shane then asked her if she was crazy for doing the same thing once again this week! Stephanie said she had a plan, and this time, it was going to be successful. Steph told Shane that he wasn't her boss, but before she could continue, they were interrupted by Tazz, who said he needed to let some frustration out! Shane said he could in his match later. As Tazz left the room, Shane smirked as he said that the mood was about to change.

Elsewhere, Stephanie paced in anger over what her brother had said when Rob Van Dam walked up and asked her if there was anything he could do that would make her feel better. Stephanie said that he could pin Chris Jericho later. RVD asked if that was it, and she said that he could also put the Hardcore title on the line against Jericho at Unforgiven! RVD said it would be no problem!

Later, ECW owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley teamed with Test to take on WCW Champion The Rock in a handicap match!

The action began with Test and Rock in the ring, but Rocky quickly exited the ring and knocked Stephanie off the ring apron. The Rock re-entered the ring, where Test was waiting for him. The Rock fought his way back and began laying the smack down on Test. After Rock nailed Test with a DDT, Rock went for a pin, but Test kicked out. Then, Test tagged in his partner Stephanie! Rock went to hit Steph with a Rock Bottom, but Test made the save! Stephanie quickly tagged Test, who was hit by a Rock Bottom! When Rock went for the pin, the referee, Nick Patrick, was in the corner talking to Stephanie! So Rock got up and hit Patrick with a Rock Bottom! With Test and the referee down, Rock dragged Stephanie into the ring. As Rock went after her, Shane Mcmahon and Booker T entered the ring and took down The Rock! As Test and Shane held up Rock, Booker flattened him! Shane hit Rock with a flying elbow and then did the Mac-arooni - his version of the Spinarooni! Booker hit Rock with a Book End, and then Stephanie covered Rock to win the match for herself and Test! [wwf.com]

The Coach interviewed The Rock about his Handicap Match for the WCW Title this Sunday against Booker T and Shane McMahon. Rock said that he got his ass whooped last Monday on RAW, plain and simple. He said he was down, especially after being pinned by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. He said he realized that Stephanie had probably been on top of a lot of guys so it didn't bother him, but it had given him a case of the Rock Bottom Blues. [wwf.com]


09/21/01 Internet Rumors
The Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley-Test segments are strong enough to work up the TV return of Triple H. According to sources, HHH is able to move around well enough to be back in the WWF as a character. However, he is still at least two to three months away from an in-ring return. [Sam Husary]

----- In the past few weeks there seems to have been somewhat of reconciliation between Stephanie McMahon Helmsley and Test. The unholy alliance occurred when Test turned his back on the WWF, and joined the Alliance. It has been rumored that we could possibly see a rejuvenation take place between Test and Stephanie, possibly culminating in the return angle for the Game, Triple H. [Amish Patel]

----- As of late, there has been a lot of controversy regarding Stephanie McMahon's sudden switch in theme music on last week's Raw ... As many know, currently - Stephanie comes out to ECW/WCW's theme music … Before the Invasion angle, her entrance theme was done by Drowning Pool - titled “Let The Bodies Hit The Floor.” Many reports hinted that this sudden change could be a sign of her possibly re-uniting with Triple H upon his return. Apparently, the reason why the World Wrestling Federation switched Stephanie's music was to stay away from offending any victims of last week's tragedy. In Macon Telegraph's publication, a writer stated that Clear Channel Communications, a company that owns many popular/major radio stations across the nation, had a list of songs that they felt should be pulled from the public as a result of all of the recent events happening.

09/23/01 Unforgiven PPV
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley looked for Rob Van Dam, who she found in dressing room five. After she knocked on his door, she told RVD that tomorrow is her birthday and she wanted nothing more than for RVD to defeat Chris Jericho! As Steph went on, Jericho walked up behind her! Chris asked Stephanie how old she was going to be. When she informed him that she would be twenty-five he told her "I asked how old your going to be, not how many guys you've slept with this week!" Y2J then told Stephanie that it would be a great idea to have a party on RAW, but he wouldn't need to bring balloons, because Stephanie already had that covered!

At the end of the hard fought Hardcore championship match between Rob Van Dam and Y2J, Jericho started pounding on Van Dam with a steel chair when Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley ran out to the ring! She distracted Jericho, which allowed Van Dam to hit the Van Dam-inator and the Five-Star Frog Splash for the pin and the win!

09/24/01 Monday Night Raw
RVD was stretching his legs when he was approached by Raven, who complained he was in a funk of late and that losing to Perry Saturn at Unforgiven was a new low. Van Dam told Raven he needed to lighten up and snap out of it. Then Stephanie arrived and shook RVD's hand. She told him she was so impressed with his leadership skills and that she saw greatness in him. She also said that after she defeated The Rock for the WCW Title, he would be the leader of the Alliance. RVD told Steph that he didn't know about being a leader, but he was honored to get the title shot. Van Dam assured Stephanie he would not let her down, and Stephanie told him he had better not. After she left, RVD seemed intrigued with the concept of Alliance leader!

The Rock was asked by Michael Cole his thoughts about his WCW Title defense against Rob Van Dam. The Rock explained that Unforgiven was a very special night for him because he walked out still the WCW Champion. Rock then said that tonight was also a special night because for the first time, he would be defending the WCW Title against Rob Van Dam. Tonight was also special to The Rock because it was Stephanie's birthday, and he warned her that if she got involved in The Rock's match, then just like the doctor wiped all the afterbirth goo off her body 25 years ago, Rock would slap her candy ass! Rock then wanted to help celebrate Stephanie's birthday by singing her a birthday song:

Happy Birthday to Steph - You're a ho with big breasts - So take the night off from hooking - If you smell what The Rock is cooking!

It was finally time for The Rock's WCW Title defense against Rob Van Dam. But before the match began, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, the Billion Dollar Princess/birthday girl, made her way to ringside to cheer on Van Dam, and smirked at the People's Champion, who she pinned last week on RAW.  Rock got started with a couple of quick arm drag take downs, and RVD answered with a reverse heel kick. When the fight took to the outside, the Federation Hardcore Champion gained the advantage and nearly won after a flying karate kick from the top rope. Much to the delight of Stephanie, Van Dam continued on the offensive, ramming Rock's head into the steel steps before taking apart the American announce table. When RVD charged The Rock, the WCW Champion backdropped him on that very table.

Back in the ring, Van Dam kicked out after a Rock spinebuster, and soon missed a split-legged moonsault. Stephanie then got involved by slapping The Rock. But the Great One battled back with a series of right hands, DDT and a Sharpshooter! But Stephanie climbed to the apron, which forced Rock to break the hold and chase Stephanie up the rampway. Rock grabbed Steph by the hair and dragged her into the ring. He was about to give her the Rock Bottom, but RVD caught him from behind. Van Dam then went up for the Five Star Frog Splash, but Stephanie pushed referee Charles Robinson into the ropes, which forced RVD to slip and fall! One Rock Bottom later, The Rock retained the WCW Title, and the birthday girl walked away crying! The Rock celebrated in the ring as RAW went off the air! [wwf.com]


09/27/01 Thursday Smackdown
RVD was stretching in his locker room when Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley entered. RVD said that maybe she should knock next time! Stephanie said she had a philosophy that once just wasn't enough, and RVD said he had heard that about her! Stephanie said she had made a Hardcore Title rematch between RVD and Chris Jericho for SmackDown!, and that she would once again be in his corner. RVD said that after what happened on Monday, she shouldn't do him any favors -- and Stephanie said she happened to be very good at doing favors!

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley provided color commentary for the Hardcore Championship match between Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho.

As RVD hit the ring, he questioned why Stephanie was at ringside, after he had asked her to stay in the back. The match was fast and furious, just like their first match at Unforgiven, and the fans chanted "RVD" and "Y2J" all the way through. RVD soon came off the top for a dropkick, but Jericho caught him and locked him in the Walls of Jericho. Stephanie then got in the ring and was about to nail Y2J with a chair, but Jericho caught the Billion-Dollar Princess and trapped her in the Walls of Jericho! That allowed RVD to nail Jericho with a savate kick. Y2J battled back, crushing Stephanie and the referee in the corner and hitting a bulldog onto a steel chair, and then nailing the Lionsault. But a groggy referee was unable to count the pinfall. Moments later, Jericho went for a flyinf forearm on RVD, but he ducked, and Y2J nailed Stephanie instead! RVD then snuck up behind Y2J and hit him with the Van Daminator, allowing him to score the pinfall win. After the match, a number of Alliance members ran to ringside to check on Stephanie, who seemed to be unconscious at ringside.

Moments later, Stephanie complained to the Alliance members backstage, sending some of them to get her water and then whining that she needed a specialist. [wwf.com]


10/08/01 Monday Night Raw
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley then returned to RAW, as the Billion-Dollar Princess made her way to the ring. Stephanie said that after seeing what had just happened to Torrie Wilson, the only thing she could say was "Big deal!" She said that Torrie had just gone through a table, but she had been pulverized by Chris Jericho two weeks ago on SmackDown! She said that Torrie had gotten what was coming to her, but that she was an innocent victim! Stephanie said she suffered two herniated discs, a bruised sternum and a concussion in the incident.

She said that she was proud to be back. She said she felt great, and felt like she could do anything. Stephanie said she'd like nothing more than to see Stone Cold Steve Austin defeat Kurt Angle to become World Wrestling Federation Champion. As she continued to speak, the Y2J countdown began, and out came Jericho himself! As the crowd chanted for Y2J, Jericho told Stephanie that it was good to see her again. He asked if she had said that she felt like she could do anybody, or be on her back, or that she had back, or that she was back. He said that makes sense too -- and speaking of two ... [wwf.com]


10/22/01 Monday Night Raw
Stephanie came out with Shane and the two stood on the stage as Vince and Linda were in the ring. Shane said one thing that makes him sick is watching two old people kiss. Stephanie then got ready to speak, and the fans chanted 'Slut, slut, slut!' and Stephanie asked why those two old prunes don't just dry up and blow away? They've survived long enough, so why don't they move on down to Florida and retire with the rest of the elderly people? Vince said they've actually thought about that, but they've decided that now is probably not the time. Not just yet. They didn't have everything handed to them on a silver platter like Shane and Stephanie have. Everything Vince and Linda have, they earned it. The way that they earned it, well, they took risks. Calculated risks, and quite frankly, that's what they're here to do tonight. Propose another calculated risk. Vince has had it with this Alliance crap and this Invasion crap. So what he's proposing is that this thing comes to a head, once and for all. What he's proposing is that at Survivor Series, for once, that name is truly what it is.

Stephanie then said speaking of Champions, the new WCW Champion, Chris Jericho...Vince cut Stephanie off, and Vince informed Stephanie that Chris Jericho has been booked to compete tonight. He's involved in a tag team match. Jericho is going to help beat the Dudley Boyz and bring back the WWF Tag Team Titles where they belong. By the way, Jericho's tag team partner here tonight, The Rock! Quite frankly, if the two of them are up for it, there are lots more challenges headed their way tonight. Shane asked if he wants to keep throwing on challenges, what's to stop Shane from walking down this ramp and kicking Vince's ass?! Shane and Stephanie started to walk to the ring, but the Alliance Commissioner made his way out to try to restrain Shane. Vince asked Shane to come on. What is stopping him from coming into the ring? Vince got ready for a fight, and Shane said that Vince is lucky. Not in front of mom. Linda questioned that, and she told Vince to look at their children. What has happened to them? Where did they go wrong? Look at their daughter. She has become a man eater, and their son is a wuss! Shane wanted to get in the ring and fight, but William Regal stopped him from doing so.

Later Shane and Stephanie were shown, and they were upset as Vince and Linda were very pleased that Kurt Angle won the United States Championship! [wwf.powerwrestling.com]


10/25/01 Thursday Smackdown
Shane and Stephanie weren't in good moods, after the Alliance lost four championships to the World Wrestling Federation on RAW. Shane said that his own mother had the audacity to call him a wuss on RAW, and asked who that "bitch" thought she was talking to! He said he was the owner of WCW, and the man who would put it all on the line at Survivor Series. According to Shane, it was all about control, and that the Alliance would be in control at Survivor Series. He said when the Alliance won at Survivor Series, either the Federation Superstars would work for them, or they would just retire. He said that between now and Survivor Series, he would not allow the Alliance to be dismembered.

Later Vince and Linda were celebrating Al Snow's win over Tazz backstage, when Sgt. Slaughter came in with a message from Shane. Shane had sent the message that he was waiting in the parking lot, and wanted to fight Vince in a street fight. Vince said he'd been waiting for this since WrestleMania, and that this wouldn't take long. He told Linda to wait in the locker room. Vince went out to the parking lot and called out his son, but Shane was nowhere to be found.

Back in the McMahon locker room, Shane and Stephanie entered, much to Linda's surprise. Shane said that he wouldn't fight Vince in a street fight on SmackDown! -- he would do it on Monday's RAW. Shane took his mom to task for calling him a wuss on RAW, and challenged her to do it again. He physically intimidated Linda, to the point where she slapped him to break free. Shane said it didn't feel good to be slapped, and he held his mom and allowed Stephanie to slap her mom right in the face! Shane called his mom a wuss as he and his mom exited the locker room.

During the break, Shane and Stephanie ran from the arena. Moments later, Vince returned to the locker room to find Linda crying, and with a big bruise on her face. Vince asked Sgt. Slaughter to take Linda to the car, and the Federation chairman was clearly not a happy man.

The main event on SmackDown! was a Hardcore Championship match, as The Rock challenged Rob Van Dam. The men soon battled up the ramp, and as they battled back to the ring, they started using steel chairs and garbage cans. Rock scored a near-fall after a Rock Bottom onto a garbage can! Rock looked to have the title won with a sharpshooter, but Shane McMahon came down and broke it up. RVD then went up for the Five-Star Frog Splash, and Shane threw the ref back into the ring. But Rock kicked out! Shane yelled at the ref, and Vince McMahon suddenly ran to the ring, looking for his son! Vince chased his son into the crowd. [wwf.com]

11/05/01 Monday Night Raw
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley met up with Kurt Angle shortly before his match against the Undertaker. Stephanie said she was glad she could count on Kurt to never defect to the Federation. Angle thanked her and with a star-struck gaze told her that he nearly forgot how nice a lady Stephanie was. The two locked eyes for several moments before Kurt jerked to attention and turned to head down to the ring. Stephanie’s eyes followed the WCW United States Champion even after he departed.

I was listening to the radio tonight and turned on 107.3 WAAF in Boston and their was a wrestling show on called "Piledriver: The Rock & Wrestling Radio Show". They had Kurt Angle on, I only caught a little but he thinks Stephanie is the most beautiful woman in the federation. [Amish Patel]


11/18/01 Survivor Series PPV
Backstage, Kurt Angle asked Stephanie why she was so stressed out. Stephanie expressed nervousness that everything she had was on the line. If the Alliance lost that evening, Stephanie worried that she’d become a "regular person" and would have to shop for her own groceries and clean her bathroom! "I cannot be a regular person!" she screamed.
Kurt touched her shoulder and told the ECW owner that she was not a regular person. Angle told her not to worry because he would make sure that Stone Cold didn’t screw the Alliance. Stephanie smiled warmly and thanked Kurt for his efforts.

11/19/01 Monday Night Raw
Outside, Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley pulled up in their own car and wondered why their father wanted them at the arena. "Do you think he’s going to give us our jobs back?" Stephanie wondered. Shane shrugged his shoulders and the two set out into the stadium.

Mr. McMahon came back into the ring and said there was still a ton of business to be taken care of that night. He requested that his son and daughter join him in the ring without any music or fanfare. Shane and Stephanie walked down the entrance ramp arm in arm to a loud chorus of booing. Vince said he was so proud to hear the arena calling his daughter a slut! "What has happened to our family?," Vince asked. He said that before he gave his children a piece of his mind, he would let his kids speak first. Shane congratulated his father for winning the sports-entertainment battle. "I lost to the better man," Shane admitted. With his head hung in shame, Shane O’Mac crawled through the ropes and left the arena.

Now it was Stephanie’s turn. She cried that she was young and made mistakes. She said her biggest mistake was listening to her brother Shane would convinced her to go against her father after purchasing WCW. It was Shane, Stephanie said, who told her to slap their mother on SmackDown! several weeks ago. "And dad, when I told you I wanted you to die, that was all Shane’s idea too!" Stephanie whined. Stephanie claimed that the only thing Shane told the truth about was what he just uttered moments ago. Vince was the better man. The Billion-Dollar Princess said that her father was a genius. Stephanie stared at her father with big, blue puppy-dog eyes and whined that she was sorry. Vince took back the microphone and called for security to take "this woman" out of the ring! "Say goodbye to daddy’s little girl!" Mr. McMahon growled. [wwf.com]


11/30/01 Internet Rumors
The artist formerly known as Chyna appeared on Howard Stern Monday (the 26th) morning.

Laurer commented on her breakup with Triple H saying that he denied having an affair with Stephanie and then she found letters which Steph wrote which confirmed her story. Chyna confronted Stephanie in front of her father about her relationship. The former Women's champ added that since they broke up, Triple H never talked to her and she said that if he and Steph break up in the future, he would have to "kiss Vince's @ss" to stay in the business! Ouch! [Colin Vassallo]

----- With Shane and Stephanie McMahon now seeming out of a job in the storylines, expect them to become more involved backstage. Stephanie McMahon will most likely be in charge of the creative team handling with her brother, Shane focusing more on the administrative duties. In addition, also expect Shane to run the New Media department, including overseeing WWF publications. [Amish Patel]

----- Stephanie McMahon has recently told the writers to not push her character as much on TV. [Deven Vickerman]

----- Apparently a few of the WWF writers have approached former WWF women's champion Stephanie Helmsley and asked if she would be interested in getting back into the ring, and involved with an angle for the WWF women's belt once again. At this time, Stephanie would rather remain behind the scenes. [Amber A.]

During a segment backstage at Mr. McMahon's Christmas party, Vince turned around to find Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. The whole party grew silent as a teary-eyed Stephanie said she hoped that Christmas eve could be a time for the two of them to get together and talk. She presented him with a gift -- a moneyclip with his initials and an inscription on the back with everything she wanted to say. Vince asked what she was up to, saying she wanted back in. Stephanie said she was just there in the spirit of Christmas, but Vince said he wouldn't be manipulated. He told her to get out, and Stephanie ran out crying! [wwf.com]

Ric Flair was in his locker room talking to his good friend Arn Anderson, and Arn said that fighting Vince would be no small deal. Flair said it had been building for months, and Arn said he was proud of Flair. There was then a knock at the door -- and it was Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley! Arn left the locker room, and Stephanie told Flair that she wanted to talk business. She made Flair a proposition -- she wanted Flair to hire her back, because she said she would be an asset to Flair in the fight against her father, saying no one knew Vince better than she did.

Flair said he agreed, but with all that was going on, he wasn't hiring anyone, especially a McMahon! He told her not to take it personally. An angered Stephanie told Flair that he might be a good wrestler, but he was a stupid businessman! She said Flair had no chance without her. Stephanie said her husband was coming back on Jan. 7, and if he didn't hire her back, there would be some repercussions! She said if Flair didn't do business the right way, it would come back and bite him! Flair said he would give that some thought. [wwf.com]
