There are many examples... but as soon as I saw the thread title, my mind immediately went back to the Trish/Vince 'bark like a dog' segment... so I'm going to have to put my vote down with the rest of the good people here on that as the number one pick.

Other than Trish/Vince, I'd say the Melina/Candice Pudding match.

Especially the one where Jamal and Rosey beat the hell out of them and one of them got a broken rib. Did that really happen? I actually thought that whole segment was fun, but if one of them really broke a rib, I'd have to rethink my stance of it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure one of them was injured because of it.

Trish/Vince was horrible and painful to watch, but with the pay-off at the end of the storyline turning Trish into a babyface it isn't so bad in retrospect. Personally, I found the segment with Cryme Tyme selling Lita's "belongings" the most disgusting since it was after her final match and she'd done so much for the company. If you just look at it from the perspective that she's a hated heel character then it's easy to enjoy and you can laugh at it. Hell, I was able to laugh at it when I first saw it--but when I read about what she went through on her last day that killed it for me, especially when I started thinking more about all of the things she did for the company over the course of her career. Third runner up has to be either Mickie James' Piggy Storyline or Vickie getting verbally decimated for her appearance by Edge in the divorce segment. Again, for the latter I laughed but then when I thought about it---eh--- =/ I think stuff like Santina winning Miss Wrestlemania and Harvey Wippleman winning the Women's title were degrading. Treating the top prize for women as a joke. Pretty much this, especially the latter and their besmirching of the Women's Championship. The former was pretty insulting too, that you can't take your Divas seriously enough to have an actual woman win it. I can't say I'm shocked that Lita and Trish refused to have anything to do with it, especially when they could have used it to *gasp* get a Diva over, rather than that inane, uncomfortable, and unfunny Santina gimmick. The worse thing is A LOT of people were actually looking forward to that segment! We were hoping for an actual Battle Royale type set-up, with intros so we could cheer for and see our favorites come in, and some good shots of the actual action. How degrading, on the 25th anniversary you treat your female employees like a bunch of jokes.

Cryme Tyme having a "Ho Sale" for Lita after her last match. Still pisses me off.
"Bark like a Dog!". Just......why?

As much as I wanna go with the barking dog I can't simply because looking back the payoff was well worth it.
We got an epic stephanie vs trish rivalry during it , trish got to turn babyface and have one hell of a career and vince got his comeuppance from Linda and Trish , as a stand alone segment yea it's vile but in the end it served as something memorable still to this day and was a huge catalyst in Trish becoming the babyface she did.
The santina thing however is just not forgiveable they sacrificed an entire division to push santino in drag...idk on a scale of crap it's between that and harvina.

From that standpoint it worked, and it did have to be harsh since Trish was a heel with heat, but I do kind of wish that they had toned it down.

Totally forgot about Lita/Cryme Tyme. That is EASILY 1st Runner-Up and can make a case to win. That's how you say goodbye to a Diva that sacrificed her body for years, helped put the division of the map, and helped make Edge a mega-star? Come on, WWE...

I take comfort in that Lita was given a much warmer reception and send off at the 15th Anniversary Raw later on.

This moment was not degrading, but when Jericho put Stacy Keibler into the Walls of Jericho and held it for what seemed like 3 minutes, that was very uncomfortable to watch.

Michael Cole taking the mic and outright calling Divas wrestling a waste of time.

I'd have something else to add but this topic? Too frackin' depressing when you put all those moments together like that.

Anytime a diva has their looks/weight made fun of. Even if it's kayfabe, it can still be extremely hurtful.

I wasn't watching when Vince/Trish happened so I'm going to go with Lita/Cryme Tyme.
I get having her lose her title. I get having her lose her last match. But there is no excuse for what happened afterwards. Hell, I was in a room full of marks that full on hated Lita and even they thought that stupid Ho Sale was "too far."
Just completely pointless and terrible.
& yes, it sucks even more to find out that Amy spent the whole day begging and pleading with them to not to do it, but they wouldn't listen. So ridiculous.

I'd always heard Lita came up with that exit herself.

My sociology professor used Vince/Trish to attempt to prove a point once. Namely, the usual stereotypes associated with pro wrestling. Really didn't help that the audience was cheering.
The documentary she used was called Wrestling with Manhood. It's on youtube.
