10 WWE Ideas EVEN Vince McMahon Thought Were Too Sleazy

9. Paul & Katie Lea Burchill: Too Close For Cumfort

Vince McMahon wanted two blood relatives to f*ck on his television programme with the same ungodly determination as Michael Jordan wanted to win a sixth NBA Championship.

A tasteless, appalling and pointless idea - these people are combat athletes, you daft auld f*cker - he persisted despite abject failure and total revulsion. Twice he had tried, and twice he was met with stunned, incredulous reactions.

But perhaps the third time was the charm, and so, with an unnatural desire pumping through his veins during those midnight gym sessions - this is why other people tend to sleep, Mr. McMahon - he debuted Katie Lea as the sister of UK standout Paul Burchill. The relatives exhibited an unsettling closeness on television, the overtones of which were further alluded to when Paul would remark "Whatever Katie wants, Katie gets".

The subtext, if you didn't manage to catch it, is that Katie wanted his c*ck.

Perhaps Vince McMahon is as good a man as 'Taker said he was on The Last Ride - a man capable of walking himself back from the cliff of immorality.

Or perhaps his ad revenue cut was threatened as WWE embarked on the PG Era around about the same time.
