10 SICK & TWISTED Wrestling Funerals

6. This Was Not Necrophilia, BUT...

It was simulated necrophilia, and that's still pretty awful. Especially as a device to build a match that just so happened to be unifying the World and Intercontinental Championships.

Yes, though Triple H's funeral home skit is often misrepresented as an actual dead body being interfered with, that was not the low WWE sunk to during an infamous segment of television in 2002. No, that was at the, ahem, climax of the scene.

Straddling the mannequin, 'The Game' declared that he'd screwed her brains out before literally manifesting it with a fistful of Spaghetti Bolognese that Bray Wyatt himself would probably be proud of.

That this total drag was to end with a gag was lame, but then everything else here was too. Mick Foley hated it, Sky Sports refused to broadcast it, Vince McMahon p*ssed himself with glee and sent his future son-in-law out there to glorify it in the weeks that followed. Darker things have happened in those WWE funeral homes, but not by much.
