We're not trying to pick on Triple H here but he was involved in some terrible pieces of business from 2002-2003. Those of you who haven't heard the name "Katie Vick" should consider yourself lucky. Those who watched it in 2002 will never forget the sheer stupidity and the fact that we saw necrophilia on live television. That's right, necrophilia. You see, WWE's Attitude Era was no longer edgy or cool. Viewers were leaving in droves and, instead of pushing new stars or shuffling the roster, WWE decided the only way to get these viewers back was to get even edgier and more controversial. So, in October 2002, Triple H was set to challenge Kane in a World title vs. Intercontinental title showdown at No Mercy. Now, usually a title vs. title match is enough to sell a pay-per-view and no extra gaga is required. However, it was only just the beginning. On an episode of Raw, Triple H appeared and called Kane a murderer. "Well, duh," you're saying, "of course he's a murderer. He murdered his and the Undertaker's parents in a fire." Nope, that's not the murder Hunter was talking about. Triple H was talking about Katie Vick. Now, of course, no one had any clue who Katie Vick was or why we should care that she was dead. Hunter went on the explain that Kane was dating Katie Vick in high school (can you imagine high school Kane setting off fires and speaking with a voice box?) and was driving her home one night. Well, Kane lost control of the car and wrecked it, killing Katie Vick instantly. Then it got worse. Hunter explained that the police report said that someone had sex with Katie Vick after she died. They know this because the police discovered, well, you know, on Katie afterwards. Yes, this was an actual thing shown on television. Then it got even worse. Hunter then promised to show a video of Kane in the act. It turned out to be Hunter in a Kane mask pretending to have sex with a mannequin dressed as a high school cheerleader in a funeral home. Hunter/Kane then threw some spaghetti at the camera and said "I just screwed your brains out." Hunter then defeated Kane at No Mercy to unify the titles because, hey, why not?
