10 Crippling Times Wrestlers Worked Themselves Into A Shoot

Where Triple H booked his own marriage, Kevin Sullivan booked his own divorce.

Now, if you put two orientation-dependent human beings in the same space, for a prolonged period of time, to a point that they become unguarded, it is very likely that they are going to f*ck one another. It's why they all cop off on reality shows, it’s why your girlfriend left you for the first boy she met in her halls of residence, and it’s why that ugly nonentity in your office managed to pull somebody remotely attractive. Happily, no matter how often they creepily try the old play fight tactic, this doesn’t always happen.

Kevin Sullivan clearly trusted wife Nancy to put over her worked affair with Chris Benoit in 1996. An old school worker, Kevin nonetheless failed to grasp human psychology. He instructed Chris and Nancy to travel together, share hotel rooms, and hold hands in public. An impressive physical specimen spent weeks on end in close physical proximity with a bewitching beauty possessed of a well-deep sex appeal.

They f*cked.

You bloody idiot, Kev. Didn’t you book WCW when it was good?!
