Since being named the new CEO of the World Wrestling Federation by Linda McMahon, Stone Cold Steve Austin has managed to make Shane and Mr. McMahon1s corporate lives a complete hell. In addition to firing some of the McMahon1s suits, he has also turned Mr. McMahon1s office into a fully functional horse barn and beer outlet. However, also due to his newfound power, Stone Cold has also succeeded in making their personal lives unbearable as well. When Austin allowed the members of the Union a shot at anybody in the Federation, both Shane and Mr. McMahon1s lives were turned upside down when Test chose to ask out Stephanie McMahon.

   As seen on RAW, the McMahon men were less than pleased when Stephanie accepted Test1s invitation to go on the date. According to Mr. McMahon, Test clearly crossed the line. However, the couple went ahead with their date regardless of the obvious disapproval.

   One week later on Sunday Night Heat, Jerry "The King" Lawler caught up with Test to try and get all the seedy details. According to Test, both he and Stephanie talked it out and decided to remain just friends. This much is believable. Everyday, couples find that they are better off as friends.

   However, a crack in Test1s story may have been revealed when Stephanie came to his aid on RAW after a brutal attack at the hands of the Big Bossman. The Cobb County native wisely backed off when Stephanie hit the ring, realizing it would be career suicide if he touches the owner1s daughter. By making the save on behalf of Test1s well-being, one must think whether or not the young couple are really just friends. Or are they just covering up a forbidden love affair for the sake of Test1s welfare?

   When Stephanie accepted Test1s invitation, the glow on both of their faces was undeniable. It appeared as though there was an instant chemistry between the two, which is why it is so hard to believe that in a matter of one week1s time the young couple had a change of heart. After looking deeper into the situation, there seems to be an obvious conspiracy going on.

   Now that the cat may be out of the bag, due to Stephanie1s desperate attempt to save Test, will the young superstar continue to put his well-being on the line in the name of love? Or will he severe all ties with Stephanie, in order to avoid any further punishment, similar to that inflicted upon him by the Big Bossman? Only time will tell. As many of us already know, many unreasonable decisions have been made in the name of love. The only decision Test has left to make is which pain is stronger ­ the physical pain associated with dating Stephanie, or the emotional pain associated with a broken heart.
