Tear Jerker / Stephanie McMahon

Go To

  • Strictly kayfabe speaking, Stephanie screaming for her dad when she is kidnapped by the Undertaker during the Ministry of Darkness storyline is both sad and frightening, especially for anyone who has had a loved one go missing via being abducted. It's even worse after the reveal of who the "higher power" is.
  • The video tribute to Connor The Crusher — a little boy who died of cancer shortly after WrestleMania. The video is already a Tear Jerker on its own. But special mention goes to the way Stephanie's voice breaks as she says "they told us he didn't have much time left". And she abandons all composure after that and bawls as she talks about Connor. Made even more poignant when you realise that Stephanie is a mother herself.
