Every Wrestling DEATH Ranked By Stupidity
11. Snitsky Murders Kane & Lita’s Unborn Child (WWE)
Footage from WWE Unreal on Netflix showed the company's creative team brainstorming Royal Rumble winners and all manner of other ideas for the roster. It's a good thing that documentary series came out in 2025. Can you imagine what it would've been like back in 2004 when storylines like Gene Snitsky causing Lita to suffer a miscarriage were fairly commonplace?!
Perhaps the worst thing about the whole saga is that WWE tried to turn Kane into a babyface after the fact. They did that in spite of the fact that the 'Big Red Machine' had forcibly impregnated Lita with his child, and taunted her lover Matt Hardy about it. After fending off Matt, Kane turned his attention to baby-killer Snitsky. Meanwhile, he claimed that the whole thing "wasn't [his] fault".
This was, "I did it for The Rock" levels of poor catchphrase creation. In fact, it was even worse than that.
Snitsky blasted Kane from behind with a steel chair, which caused daddy dearest to land right on top of Lita and brutally end the unborn child's shot at life. Commentary teams treated this like the soap opera story of the century, and they immediately put some sympathy on Kane over Lita (?!) whilst Gene-o wandered around the place looking for toes to suck as a follow up gimmick tweak.
Yeah, '04 WWE was so poor at times. Alarmingly, the most ridiculous thing about all of this was Kane slipping into a would-be good guy role after forcing himself on Lita against her will. Nothing screams babyface like doing that, huh? Yikes.
WWE's writing team needed a slap for even coming up with this. It was their fault.
