10 Insane Things WWE Will Never Do Again
9. Implied Sexual Assault
Poor old Glenn Jacobs has been at the heart of some of WWE’s absolute worst angles throughout his 22 years with the company. From his early days as Isaac Yankem DDS up to his run as The Authority’s Corporate Kane, ‘The Big Red Machine’ has always been plagued by hideous, career-ruining dreck, yet he survives as one of WWE’s most tenured employees.
His relationship with Lita stands among Kane’s most destructive storylines. The angle was conceived when the former spurned the latter’s advances, leading to the monster kidnapping Lita, with the assumption being that he sexually assaulted her. Ghoulish? Indefensible? Absolutely, but nobody could be surprised in a post-Katie Vick world.
The story continued down a similar path, with Lita consenting to sleep with Kane so he wouldn’t harm her partner, Matt Hardy. The couple were ‘married,’ but the baby was never born. Lita suffered a kayfabe miscarriage when Kane fell on her after an assault from Gene Snitsky, but their relationship continued, and didn’t dissipate until a full year after the debacle had began.
Thank the heavens WWE's PG rating prevents them from repeating such angles - particularly in the wake of what's going on in celebrity culture at the moment.
