FABULOUS MOOLAH + MAE YOUNG
ON ALL FOURS · WITH A DOG BOWL · BARKING
Ashley brought up the time Vince made Trish Stratus bark like a dog on live television.
In response, Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young entered in their nightgowns,
got on all fours, and barked into a dog food bowl.
There was a doghouse. It was built specifically for this segment.

MICK FOLEY
HARDCORE LEGEND · MAN OF THE PEOPLE
"Vince McMahon has no friends.
Are you Vince McMahon's friend? I am not Vince McMahon's friend."
Foley opposed the limousine storyline, said it could be troubling for veteran fans and children. Then he walked out to roast McMahon in person — and did not renew his legends contract.
