Nevertheless, the particular storyline was a little over the top, when we look from a PG era point of view.
However, while discussing that era with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Lita talked about how it was weird for her.

You were placed in some of the most difficult situations I’ve ever seen anybody placed in. Would you agree or would say, Steve, you’re completely wrong?”. Lita nodded, saying, ” Oh man, yeah, I would agree.”

And I have always thought you were tough and cool and we have had our friendship.
