The WWE storylines have explored all the possible ways to hook the audience. While most of them bring out the best in their product, there are some storylines that leave the stars in a terrible state of awkwardness. One such storyline came to light in 2002 involving The Billion Dollar Princess, Stephanie McMahon.
This segment took place in the blue brand of the company where the WWE stars were celebrating Halloween. In a backstage segment, a man approached Stephanie McMahon wearing a Vince McMahon mask. A confused Stephanie looked at him before he took off his mask. With it, out came WWE legend Eric Bischoff.

Stephanie McMahon went ahead to slap him, but he caught her and leaned on her for a passionate kiss. While Bischoff was quite “excited” for the scene, the idea did not go very well with Stephanie. However, she eventually had to give in to the idea.
Eric Bischoff recalled the incident on his podcast in 2018. “Having [Vince] standing there directing the scene while I was making out with his daughter, I knew she didn’t want to do it,” he confessed. On the contrary, Eric liked the idea and said that he was really excited for it.
How did Eric Bischoff feel about his kiss with Stephanie McMahon?
Sharing a kiss with Stephanie McMahon was probably one of the most memorable moments of Eric Bischoff’s WWE career. While Stephanie was reluctant to go ahead with the segment, Bischoff was down with the plan. “But she was a pro and as weird as it was, again, as a character, you are doing it,” he said in his comments on the segment.
Eric also discussed the segment in another 83 Weeks podcast and labelled the segment as “pretty fun.” Not just this, he also went ahead to express the feelings he had for a young Stephanie McMahon. “You know, younger, obviously, you know, physically, because she’s younger, much more attractive,” he said.

Eric also seemed to be captivated by Stephanie McMahon’s Hallowon costume. “You know, at the time that I made out with Stephanie with a little witch hat on, b**bs hanging out,” he added, confirming that he was very much into her during the shoot of the segment. However, the audience loved the duo and it boosted Bischoff’s confidence with the Billion Dollar Princess.
