10 Fascinating WWE Backstage Facts About Triple H

2. The Katie Vick Debacle

Destined to forever be remembered as one of WWE's worst ever angles, the Katie Vick storyline was an absolute travesty.

Certain topics shouldn't be touched, particularly by a company like Vince McMahon's, whose storytelling methods are as subtle as a mortar blast. Necrophilia is one of them. Ultimately, it'll go down is one of the company's most hare-brained attempts at covering a potentially problematic subject, and we'll never be able to scrub the image of Triple H mounting a corpse from our memories (even if he was pretending to wind up Kane).

But it happened, and while there's no need to go through the revolting specifics again anytime soon, Bruce Prichard recently revealed some new details on his Something To Wrestle podcast.

As per the former WWE writer, the whole scene played out in a legitimate funeral home, while an actual wake was going on in the next room. So while Triple H was, ahem, "screwing [the body's] brains out," people were saying "goodbye" to a loved one through the next wall.

Prichard tends to exaggerate, but if true, this is disrespectful in the extreme, particularly as they were reportedly told to "quieten down" when the carnal sounds drifted into the next room.
