4. Chris Benoit Affair With 'Woman'
wikipediaKevin Sullivan was a happily married man and the booker for WCW when he decided to script a feud for himself with Chris Benoit in the mid 90's. The basis for this angle was that Benoit would steal Sullivan's on screen wife 'Woman', who was also Sullivan's real wife Nancy. To make this story more realistic, Sullivan had the 'brainwave' idea of making Nancy and Chris travel together for real. It would better get over the kayfabe to the general public he reasoned. What happened next? You guessed it, on the road together to fool people that they were having an affair, Nancy and Chris ended up having an actual affair. It ended up that Nancy left Sullivan for Chris, making what started out as a story idea into an actual occurrence. How the WCW booker must have rued his decision to push that storyline! Sadly this whole case took another bizarre twist further down the line, with Benoit killing himself and Nancy in 2007.
