10 Times WWE Made Us Ashamed To Be Wrestling Fans

10. The Matt Hardy/Lita/Kane Saga

Following his loss at WrestleMania XX to his returning undead brother The Undertaker, Kane decided to focus on a different goal, namely the lovely Lita. Unfortunately for the Big Red Machine, Lita was at the time involved with Matt Hardy (both on-screen and off), and so was disinclined to accept the advances.

Never one to do the decent (and tasteful) thing, Kane instead went a different route, and was implied to have threatened Lita to either sleep with him, or he would take it out on her boyfriend Matt Hardy. Lita (of course) agreed to this, which resulted in her becoming pregnant with Kane’s baby, to the outrage of Matt and all viewers with any semblance of taste.

This whole debacle came to a head at SummerSlam 2004, where Matt and Kane met in a horrifically-named “Till Death Us Do Part Match”, the stipulation of which was that Lita would marry the winner. Quite why Lita would take the chance that she would be contractually obliged to marry her rapist was never adequately explained. Kane would of course win the match and Lita’s hand in marriage, only for her to miscarry after Kane fell onto her following a chairshot from a debuting Gene Snitsky.
