10 WWE Angles Everybody Gets Wrong

6. Kane & Spilled Coffee

What people think: That stupid idiot Chris Jericho dozily failed to pay attention after making a cuppa' and accidentally spilled it all over walking man mountain Kane. The result was a feud that, on the surface, began for the most childish of reasons.

How it really was: Pay close attention to Kane's backstory (which, to be fair, has changed more times than the chameleonic Jericho), and you'll see that he was the victim of horrific facial burns which left him disfigured. That was the original reason for his mask, and it must've caused mental and emotional damage to his mind as well as physical wounds to his body.

Jericho may have reopened some of that mental fragility by pouring a hot beverage over Kane. Unhinged and having still not dealt with his childhood issues, the big man could be forgiven for flying off the handle and attacking Y2J.

There wasn't a, "They're Feuding Over Coffee" sign at Armageddon 2000. Or, well, perhaps there was.
