WWE: 12 Criminal Gimmicks That Should Have Lead To Jail Time

1. Triple H "Raped" Stephanie McMahon

Crime: Abduction, kidnapping, drugging, rape, forced marriage... There has to be something fundamentally not right about your relationship if you decide that it would totally be fun to play on the real-life bond of love and use date-rape and abduction as a means to entertain the general public. But such is the crazy world of the WWE as Triple H - presumably with the boss' blessing - interrupted Stephanie McMahon's wedding to Test, which was due to take place on an episode of RAW, to reveal that the wedding couldn't go ahead because of some disturbing evidence in his possession. He then unveiled a video of himself drugging, forcibly marrying, and then raping his new blushing bride. Somewhat mercifully, the act itself wasn't played out on the video, but Hunter basically confirmed suspicions with glee, prompting the most ridiculously insufficient reaction in the history of the world. Not too long later, it was revealed that Stephanie was in on the whole thing - but whether that was the intention all along, or simply a quick retcon to cover over the more distasteful elements remains to be seen. Punishment: Several life sentences in real life, but a title match against Vince McMahon in the WWE universe.
