10 Biggest Regrets From Triple H's WWE Career
1. The Katie Vick Incident
It’s not often you find a wrestling angle that damages the mythology of at least one character, pushes the boundaries of taste way beyond breaking point, does nothing for anyone involved, evokes the worst of sports entertainment’s soap opera tendencies, and features some of the lamest attempts at comedy the form has ever produced.
Katie Vick is that angle. As briefly as possible, in 2002 Triple H was feuding with Kane. It emerged that Kane once had a friendship with a cheerleader named Katie Vick. The two were in a car accident; he survived, she didn’t.
From there, we were treated to, in turn: Kane delivering an emotional explanation of the story; Triple H then accusing his foe of rape and or/necrophaelia; and finally, Helmsley in rudimentary Kane costume staging a skit in a funeral home wherein he defiled a corpse.
Leaving aside taste and decency as one must when discussing Katie Vick, it’s mind boggling to imagine why anyone thought this was a good idea. Sure, it might draw heat on Triple H, but there must be a better way. Kane went from an unknowable demon to a high school student with an unrequited crush. It’s precisely the kind of wrestling content you wouldn’t want anyone to catch you watching.
