The Katie Vick storyline in WWE featured Triple H, Kane, and a mannequin known as Katie Vick. Katie and Kane were friends when the Big Red Machine first started his wrestling career, and the 2 became quite close. Triple H revealed that an accident led to the demise of Katie Vick, an accident that Kane was involved in, and Triple H also suggested that Kane did some pretty heinous and unspeakable things to Katie after the accident that took her life.
With Triple H re-enacting what Kane did to Katie Vick in a funeral home and Kane promising to do the same to Triple H after throwing him in the trunk of his car, many fans called out the WWE for airing such a ridiculous and questionable storyline. The Katie Vick angle was supposed to go in a different way though, it was going to introduce a new wrestler to the Raw roster and the infamous funeral home scene was supposed to have another cut which wasn't as bad.

My favorite part of this whole angle is imagining Kane, a man who's gimmick is essentially a demonic wrestler, going out with a friend and getting drunk at a party.
And he was already wearing that mask even though this supposedly happened in 1992.
@@Rob_Thorsman lol exactly. The whole reenactment video, ffs.
Lmaoo crazy
My favorite part: Imagining Papa Bearer being like, "You will grow stroooong, my son. You willllllll defeat The Underrrrrtakerrrrr; but oooonly after you acquire.... your driiiiiver's license."
The entire Kane gimmick was stupid, but Vince thought he could do anything at the time & it would work. NO competition.
The worst part for me was that Kane was suddenly a dude in college with a girlfriend going to parties
How in the hell has this never occurred to me?!
Good Lord.
Made no sense as storyline was that Paul Bearer raised Kane in secrecy to get revenge on The Undertaker down the line as no one knew Kane was still alive.
Wasn't all of that retconned and it was all in his mind once he was unmasked? Lol might be mixing things up
@@sheriffdraws8789 The physical scars were reconned yes. But I don't think his being raised by Paul was at the time
@@JRC99 imagine Paul enrolled Kane in a private school and that he wore bandages, not a mask. Also you get that we are supposed to know it's HHH. He's f'n w/ Kane. You are not supposed to look at the funeral scene as real footage. That's why Hunter is laughing like a jackass afterward. Anyway, I guess I'm the only one that got what they were doing. It would have been nice to see where they would've gone w/ the sick boy as Katie's brother but whatever.
Just shows that even if you've paid your dues and are married into the company, NOBODY escapes wacky and offensive Vince storylines
The rock never did anything wacky
@@dwaynejpeterkin Dop poop match with Davey Boy.
@@jackcarraway4707 oh right.. 🙄🙄
HHH And steph wasnt married yet till '03 I think, Maybe this was Vince message to Treat Steph right or be stuck doing sh*t like this lol
Maybe HHH wanted to do it...
The most stupidest part about this whole stroyline was that they comepletely threw Kane's original backstory out the window. Paul Bearer would come out week after week and claim Kane was burnt, and that he kept him locked up for 20 years.. So apparently Katie Vick would go to Paul Bearer's house and ask if Kane can come out and play with her lol? They completely destroyed Kane's backstory with this stupid storyline.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Respectfully disagree. This angle is so incredibly idiotic that you can’t highlight just one part as being stupidest.
I was gonna say the same thing. I guess they wanted us to believe Kane was a rebellious teenager who would sneak out on Saturday nights, lol.
I think Kane's book (can't remember the title) covered it somehow.
We dont speak of this nonsense.
The best part of this story is, without question, the fact that WWE sold Katie Vick's outfit to someone on that old WWE Auction site. It came in baggies and included six pairs of men's socks. The guy who bought it posted it to WrestleCrap and it pretty much gave birth to their "Someone bought this?!" section.
The guys who bought are the guys who run Wrestlecrap actually. RD Reynolds and Blade Braxton. I was heading to the comment section to mention this.
RD Reynolds and Blade Braxton (RIP) of WrestleCrap were the ones who bought it. They even took "Katie" to conventions.
Man I haven't heard RD mentioned in YEARS. Hysterically laughing at the Wrestlecrap writeups in HS was formative!
6 pairs of mens socks😂
@@sambeard5237 i don’t get it. Why?
Why WWE would base a world title feud around necrophilia is beyond me.
Because Vince is just a carny who happens to be rich
@@merces47letifer4 now in 2024 and with his accusations this storyline doesn't surprise me
@@StogiewiseDid VKM create this angle tho? I really wanna know whose brilliant idea this was. Another great part is they pretty much made a whole fictional Kane biography about it.
@@JesseGMan7Triple H and Prichard apparently wanted to shoot a comedy version of the scene and Vince shot it down as he apparently liked what was already shot
Triple H and Prichard scrambled to get the segment changed but it was too late
Vince didn’t give them a shot at shooting the comedy version
@@javi994 Classic, I’d respect the ruthlessness if it wasn’t on something so perverted. Vince was a great commander, but not a very morally decent human being.
Bishof: Did that offend you as a Christian Shawn?
HBK: No, it offended me as a wrestling fan.
"The car wouldn't have swerved"
Clearly Russo was behind the wheel, bro
No, if that were the case it would be a DQ finish.
That's free will, bro. Atomic swerve.
2002 was my first year of watching wrestling;
Imagine this being apart of your introduction to wrestling...
Sticking to wrestling after, probably put you on some federal agency watch list!
@@Sly_404 😁
Back in my day, we were introduced to wrestling by opponents trying to run each other over in cars or drop them from forklifts.
Trust me you missed the real action
First time I watched wrestling, Steve Austin was crucified.. swings & roundabouts brother
I laughed way too hard at your ghost rider/corpse grinder line lol. I still can't believe that WWE saw all this and was like this is fine
Hey, much like Stone Cold, Kane just wanted to pop open a cold one.
There was a case of a real man who was an undertaker (IIRC) who sxually abused the corpses that he was trusted with handling. The mother of one young girl whose body he abused actually attacked him and got arrested. I mean, imagine your child's life is taken tragically and tragically early and you learn that someone is, essentially, using it for rxpe.
People pass all the time, yes, but why be so disrespectful about it? And this isn't the only way Vince has disrespected the dead. So weird the way his mind works.
😂😂
That Vince for that 😂
That, and "kane the semen demon" hahaha
I still give the edge to worst angle to drunk Scott Hall only because they were actively making fun of, and drawing ratings from, a serious real life addiction that could well have killed him. Particularly that it wasn't having fun with past issues but ones he was literally having at the time.
They did it with Road Warrior Hawk too...
They did it to Jeff hardy also
Scott Hall always maintained he was sober at the time of the angle (or in between relapses). Of all the sh!t addiction angles, I think the worst was Lawler pouring actual whiskey down Jake the Snake's throat while he was in recovery.
they did it with Jake the Snake too
@@jtown1022 I seriously doubt it was actual whiskey.
I remember watching on UA-cam where Jim Cornette was talking to Paul Bearer and Paul brought this up because he knew George Jones and got his family tickets to a Raw in Tennessee. Just so happened that it was the same Raw with the infamous funeral home segment during the Katie Vick debacle. Paul left a message for George apologizing for what happened even though he had no clue that was going to happen.
I remember hearing about how big a fan Paul Bearer was of George Jones. I hope Jones was understanding!
God that's great!!!!
That's hilarious. George Jones is a crazy bastard, himself, so it really would take something insanely stupid & gross, like mannequin necrophilia, in order to to be that offensive.
Answer: yes
Only Vince could've create this storyline.
We can't blame Russo for this one.
Damn sure can't 😂😂😂
Russo actually hated this angle. He even saw it live when it aired. "Man, that angle f-ing sucked, bro. Really, bro?" He's talked about it multiple times on his podcast. Russo was in TNA watching WWE to see what they were competing against, although Russo misremembered Katie Vick as being in 2000 WWE when he was in WCW (simple timeline mistake).
Can’t believe they had the gall to do that tasteless segment with a real funeral going on in the very next room
????
There was no "real" funeral going on next room. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
it's pretty funny imo
@@dallasparty316 there was.
Considering they did the Bossman/Show casket angle at a real cemetery, I'm not surprised lol
At least Stephanie had the guts to tell her dad no when he proposed the incest story line
That's all kinds of sickening.
He found another way to channel it with the way her boob job and what a slut she is was constantly written into everything. She was quite sexualised back then and it was creepy. The whole "daddys little girl" bit used to come off odd.
Wait what? What's the story with that?
@cloudynine6376 Vince McMahon once pitched an incest storyline to Stephanie McMahon which she immediately turned down. Nevertheless, Vince didn’t stop as he also pitched the idea of Shane McMahon being the father of her sister’s baby likewise, the idea was also shut down as Stephanie wasn’t ready to do something like that.
Triple H is a real enigma. He was a phenomenal Heel foil to almost every good guy he wrestled in 2002. Everyone got over when trying to beat Trips but lost all that momentum from losing to him. Kane, RVD, Booker T all could have gained so much more from besting him
Randy orton and Goldberg also lost momentum going against hunter
To put in perspective how polarizing he is, HHH went from Meltzer's Wrestler of the Year in 2000 to Most Overrated from 2002-2004.
@@pleaseshutup7053 nah Trips gets a pass for burying Goldberg though
@@jackcarraway4707 screw Dave Meltzer as he knows nothing about wrestling
@@KarinoChan182 Goldberg's win at Unforgiven was one of the most meh title changes ever and it only lasted a few months before HHH took it back. He should have won it at Summerslam, aka the second biggest show after Wrestlemania.
This angle was the main reason why I despised Raw and loved Smackdown. The reign of terror was in full force and all my guys were constantly being buried by Trips. Kane, RVD, Y2J, Steiner, Booker T, even Nash and Goldberg!
During this time on SD: Tag Title Tournament with Benoit and Angle, Los Guerreros, and Mysterio & Edge. Brock Lesnar's feud with the Undertaker.
Indeed, HHH and a few other reasons is why I stopped watching Raw. I continued to watch Smackdown for a while after as I enjoyed the ruthless aggression era it was having. But once that was gone, I had no reason to watch wrestling anymore. So many friends gave up before me as Raw was the flagship.
Raw was unwatchable during this time, mainly because of Ttiple H. The fact people defend him during this time is insane
@@lulu-hm2xp i did not find it unwatchable
Nash? Haha
The most shocking thing about the Katie Vick angle for me is that Vince Russo had absolutely nothing to do with it, plus I'd heard they couldn't finish because the people at the funeral on the other side of the accordion could hear and complained.
During these times I was thinking “yeah wrestling is dead”. No Stone Cold, Rock going Hollywood, WCW out of business, it’s not going to get better
And it never did sadly. Wrestling was on a downhill spiral and started to become unwatchable around the mid 00s. So glad we have channels, such as this one, to remind us what wrestling used to be like.
Smackdown was must watch at the time.
@@jackcarraway4707 it was Smackdown was awesome at the time. I used to love watching it. However it also took a nose dive between 2005-06 and never recovered. Before this though. From around 2002 to early 2005 it was unmissable.
Yup wrestling for me died when the WCW folded. The wrong company won the Monday Night Wars.
I remember when this happened, I was in my basement room watching it and my sister was upstairs in her room, and we met halfway both coming to ask each other wtf.
so... it got you talking? Sounds like great tv to me
@@BIGTABBY420 he watched a necrophilia segment and both he and his sister immediately went to find each other
Did you both laugh?
This is hilarious in the sense that Vince thought this was a great idea.
I thought the Kane/Lita/Matt Hardy/Gene Snitsky mess was worse personally due to it both taking far longer to play out and due to the miscarriage and circumstances leading to Lita becoming kayfabe pregnant (taking one of the company's most popular female wrestlers out of the ring for months on end was an odd decision too).
I am just glad my mom never walked in during this storyline 😆
Imagine how many awkward walk in occurred when this was live. People who don’t get wrestling really got to poke fun that day.
I hate how they immediately launched this storyline AFTER a fantastic TLC match which had Kane retains BOTH TAG BELTS with Bubba Ray and Spike Dudley vs. Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy vs. Christian and Chris Jericho. They didn't give him a second to bask in this incredible moment. Thanks Vince.
Terrible storyline.
Well now I think we know why Vince wanted this segment to be the way it was...
Don’t feel ashamed or embarrassed for covering this, this makes me laugh 20yrs later after the fact (did like your Sega Rally lines too). This was brilliant, it made me and my mate laugh and we’re still talking about it 20yrs later so it done it’s job as we all remember it. I took it at face value as a joke (ultimately) and thought it was just brilliant and I wouldn’t erase it from WWE history
More patience on Vince's side? Vince never intended to film the second one. Sounds more like he just manipulated them into filming it.
Never Forget The Moment HHH Was In The Casket, My Mom Walked In & Cancelled All The Cable😂😂😂
The fact that this came across anyones mind and it was agreed to do makes me question the people who worked there at the time.
Dude, the ideas for story lines is ridiculous. I read that Vince wanted to dress as a KKK member at one point for a story line and thank goodness that didn't happen.
@@bittersweetjesus And Vince once had to cut costs to make his company go public.
Welcome to the mind of Vince McMahon.
Vince fought God after all. So anything goes with the man lol
Lmao it’s called having a real sense of humor
I just love how this whole thing goes against Kane's story to begin with....he was being sheltered by Paul Bearer after being burned up until he finally debuted, but now he was apparently at parties in 1992?
I thought that story was retconned once he got unmasked? It was all in his head or something like that lol
@@sheriffdraws8789 didnt he mention it happening to an anger management class or something in a skit with daniel bryan
I was 20 when this storyline aired, I remember turning the telly off as soon as I knew where the video tape segment was going. Unfortunately I turned it back on at the wrong time when 10:39 happened. I couldn't sleep at night after seeing that scene. I stuck with Smackdown for about a month after this.
Yeah, I had to change the channel during the most gruesome part of that segment as well. That was just too much for me to stomach
I was 14 at the time and it was one of the first storylines that I really hated and was embarrassed about.
Oh man, I still get nightmares about the Katie Vick storyline 😬
The fact that someone thought of this and the fact that someone actually agreed to this is still baffling to me
It was a great idea this video proves it
No it wasn't!
Vince McMahon.. And Vince McMahon. lol
There was weeks after weeks of production behind all this. Every cameraman, lighting rig tech, etc is responsible for this as well.
If This Was Undertaker I'm Pretty Sure That Taker Would Refuse To Do It
Before this we were seeing a more funny entertaining version of Kane, then they mentioned the name Katie Vick. Kane never really fully recovered in my eyes after this.
2003 unmasked Kane was peak Kane imo. Totally revitalised the character. Loved it
@@sheriffdraws8789 thank you
@@sheriffdraws8789 the unmasking all the way up to the Gene Snitsky stuff anyway
One of those things I'd be embarrassed to be caught watching if a friend who was a non-wrestling fan walked into the room.

This is what happens when you have no competition.
I don't always believe Bruce Pritchard when he tells the story, but I don't think he's fibbing this time
There are some ideas so insane that only Vince McMahon could endorse them
Hahaha I know what you mean. this makes me go back to some of his stories and think that maybe he wasn't over exaggerating...
aew wouldn't have done it that way - they would of had a gloryhole on the casket lid instead, and probably Kenny Vick instead of Katie Vick
@@foreverunsaved6661 lmfao
@@foreverunsaved6661 bro huh 💀
I kind of believe Bruce because Triple H looks uncomfortable talking about the video during the promo. He try to hide it during the promo but I can tell he was rushing the hell out of this to get it done.
This, the Guerrero/Mysterio "custody of Dominic" angle, and the McMahons vs "God" storyline are the worst WWE storylines I can remember... I'd rather watch Mae Young give birth to 27 hands than have to sit through the Katie Vick angle again.
Edit: I remember after the big "moment" when HHH asks Kane "the question," I was thinking this couldn't possibly get any worse or dumber than this... Man I just had no fuckin idea lol
I'm still waiting for WWE to bring up the custody of Dominic thing nowadays
Me too. I stopped watching WWF after the attitude era.
Completely disagree with the custody angle, kid me loved it lol
At least Dominic gave us Eddie/Mysterio matches that are always guaranteed to be decent. I think Eddiesploitation was 100x worse.
They really blew some of the best heel work I've ever seen in Eddie on that storyline
That noise was really funny, I think he belched while laughing. I remember this storyline it was probably the most disturbing thing I've ever watched from WWE
Lol that's not belching wtf it's just breathing
That weird noise Triple H made may have been because he was congested. I've actually made that same noise a few times after getting over a cold
I always thought it was congestion or he happened to both laugh & burp at the same time
Good Sir, as a UA-cam Premium member, I know how much a like on a video makes a difference. The vast majority of videos I watch get a like at some point, even if it's towards the end of the content when I've decided if I actually like the content or not. Certainly if I have stayed as long as the conclusion, then it held my attention long enough to justify hitting the like button.
Your content however is in that special category of insta-like everytime. I think I must have watched about 80% of your UA-cam content and have loved all of it. I have learned a great deal, had new perspectives on the most memorable wrestling moments and I also genuinely appreciate the way you put forward your points. It's so well researched that even when I'm being told something I already know, you somehow manage to slide some info that I didn't know along for the ride. Thorough is a good word to describe your presentations. Also the remixes are amazing.
Just thought you should know at this time of 815 views and 126 likes, that I insta-smash everytime. It's like your logo has become more meaningful to me than the Nintendo Seal of Approval.
Thanks again and I hope you keep enjoying making the content as much I and many others enjoy watching it.
Say what you will about Katie Vick (and I wouldn't argue), but I always thought that interview was Jonathon Coachman's best segment. His look throughout that whole thing was hilarious, mostly over the fact that he's probably not acting at all. His expression is a pure shoot.
i’m
Yeah, this was a weird one. It was like they were trying to recapture some of the Attitude Era with it, it felt. HHH and Kane honestly didn't need this type of storyline to make their feud work. They had a long history they could have used instead.
I always hate the storyline since 2002. I can't believe it's been twenty years.
I think most tasteless is how I would put it, like especially given you had it as a unification match; I remember watching the promo they did for the IC belt and loving it, the match should have been focused on the belts, but they were put in the background for what? There are things I have loved about wrestling, but how would you explain this to a friend?
two words, Vince McMahon, I would believe that would explain it considering the most recent allegations that have popped up
I dunno, Randy Orton driving Eddie Guerrero's low-rider and destroying the SmackDown set and causing a giant explosion, two weeks after Guerrero's death, and then two months later saying "Eddie's in hell" to one of his closest friends. Bit more distasteful.

That Sega Rally Championship reference is gold. 😂😂
You just know Vince and Bruce LOVED discussing and producing the funeral home scenes
Oh do you KNOW that Mr enlightened one
The part about shooting 2 versions sounds like Vince knew exactly what he was doing to get his way, and so did Bruce. I think Bruce played along, and *maybe* had regrets when it was in the can. Trips got played.

As a HHH fan, for some reason, he really should have lost to Booker at WM.
@@natediaz1863 I occur sir
Im guessing the comedy version was gonna be like 1999 Big Show/Big Boss Man where Bossman took Big Show dad casket for a ride
Between the unbridled shittyness of this storyline, Kane's horrible new mask and outfit, and his slimmed down physique, the mystique of his character was officially dead. It's kind of like when Abyss became a Hulkamaniac in TNA, only much much worse.
I dont think it was the worse ever I get the idea behind the storyline just didn't play out right but there have been worse ones
I remember watching this segment on TV when it first aired (I was 13 at the time) and while I loved a lot of the edgy/funny adult humour content during the attitude era, I remember thinking this had gone way too far and I feel this was more offensive than the "Pillman's Got a Gun" angle from 1996. My parents were super lax with what I was allowed to watch, but this is one of those instances, being a father myself where I would not allow my son to watch a segment like this. Necrophilia is not a joke and that is truly one of the most low-hanging pieces of fruit WWE (Vince McMahon ever reached for).
You stand with nzis
Lmao it's just stupid and ridiculous not a snuff film
This storyline is why I laugh when people call Vince a "creative genius". Dude's got way more misses than hits, and this is probably the biggest miss of them all.
I have been a WWF/WWE fan since before WM 1 and I have seen a lot of terribad WWE TV. but Katie Vick was the ONLY timer I actually said to myself "WTF did I just watch"
The worst angle in WWE history? Well, I'll say this, some years ago, Vince McMahon wanted to do an angle where he impregnated Stephanie McMahon, in retrospect, I'm glad Katie Vick aired instead

me too i was a hardcore fan up until around this point
i was soured by the whole invasion angle which i think they completely botched, this katie vick storyline was the final straw and i never watched a full Raw episode again after this

@@pleaseshutup7053 Again, I was all about Kane getting back into the main event scene. He came back that summer with the new look and was as over as he'd ever been. Timing was just not on his side as HHH was about to embark on his reign of terror which would last through 2004. There was still a glimmer of hope with the Elimination Chamber at Survivor Series, but it soon became clear that he was an afterthought who slowly slid down back into the upper midcard.
@@SakAttack87 Kane was wild in 2003 when he became unmasked they had so many chances to make Kane champion it made no sense that they didn’t
I remember watching this and just being really confused, they showed off the fotage and my brother and I just sat there thinking "That's obviously Triple H?"
At best it was really dumb and ruined Kanes image a bit and at worst its increabily insensitive and offensive
I always thought that this was Vince's way of purposely taking things too far so that he could put the old Attitude Era and the over the top edgy stories and everything to rest. Either that, or it was the moment that the Attitude Era had officially jumped the shark, which is also very plausible. I just don't know how something like that gets signed off on, but when I really think about it, this is the same company that did the Mae Young/Mark Henry stuff and they probably did just think that this was a good idea.
I've heard of this angle of course, but I had quit watching well before this. This is all new to me. Thank you!
This story line is what made me stop watching wrestling. At the point where “Kane” gets into the coffin I turned it off and never looked back for probably 10-15 years
hard to believe
Same. I stuck to TNA, ROH, and AEW ever since.

Could you start doing individual and tag team bios again?
That fatal 4 way tag team match I remember clearly that match was truly a masterpiece and I loved every moment of it.
If Coach was faking his shock and disgust at the church bit then I'm The Undertaker.
I can actually remember the exact moment I started to lose interest in wrestling: the coffin scene at the funeral home. Up until that scene I was glued to the TV every Monday night to watch Raw. After that segment I turned off the TV and stopped tuning in regularly to watch wrestling. Thankfully, Wrestling Bios came along and helped me recapture some of that feeling I had whenever I tuned in on Mondays. I missed it alot.
Yeahhh, I can honestly say this was the beginning of the end for me as well. I quit in early 2003 and barely kept up with it since.

But it was all worth it for one of the most hilarious Wrestling Bios videos ever. I love how you were struggling to get through this one lol. And the Prichard podcast re-telling was so good too lol.
This is right below Road Warrior Hawk getting drunk and falling from the top of the titan Tron and the whole Hornswoggle being Vince's son storyline.
I disagree: it was not the worst angle in WWE history, it was the worst angle in the history of ALL pro wrestling.
The shockmaster is worse. The fake Diesel and Razor Ramone really sucked too!
@@brocklanders3616 They were dumb angles that were goofy & over the top, but never crossing the line. The Katie Vick angle crossed that line.
I’m going to be the pedant and say if it is the worst angle in the history of pro wrestling then it is - by definition - the worst angle in WWE history.
@@liquidgeorge lol, i stand corrected.
@@liquidgeorge i suppose i should have said it was not JUST the worst angle in WWE history, but also..." etc, etc.
I recently saw the whole thing while binging Raw, and honestly it was pretty hilarious throughout. Maybe not in the way they intended, but I enjoyed every second of it.
No one knew what they were going with even at that time. It was one of the most confusing and dumbest storyline in wrestling history.
But yes looking back at it now. It is both offensive and hilarious on why did these two guys agreed to do this?
It's my all-time favorite storyline but with my sense of humor. It's pretty obvious if you knew me, you'd know I'd love this.
@@evandaymon8303 because the boss said so
I don't know what was worse about this angle.
1. Kane managed to have a girlfriend in college.
2. Triple H using a CPR Dummy as Katie Vick.
3. Kane so angry at Triple H that he respected the rules of the Tag Team Match and held onto the rope to wait to be tagged in.
God bless Glen aka Kane for being such a loyal company man even if it's meant for the character to completely derail itself of all mystique, power and epic, to actually follow or do some of those rubbish segments without having to say much.
I feel worst for triple h, imagine making your papa in law making you bang a mannequin playing a dead corpse and air it across the world.
@@pinkyblinders7352 I believe there's information somewhere that reveals that Triple H was on board for this. Lol
Not gonna lie, when you said "In the most UA-cam friendly way i can do it" my brain went "Kane Stock Footage Adventure?"
A memorable storyline. Not a great one, but a memorable one.
ok i hated this angle with every fiber of my being already but knowing an actual wake was going on with only one of those thin dividers while they were recording this s**t makes it worse.
Katie Vick - WWE's Worst Storyline Ever?
Did you forgot about Kane storyline where he kidnaped/r***d/force married Lita. He also came up as FACE from that storyline
Lol I hope he does that one next.
What i don't get is, why did they feel the need to film this at an actual funeral home?????
Because it’s a part of the story?
TLC4 is widely considered one of the best matches in raw history, im not sure who thinks it's underrated in any way. Kane winning solo, jericho calling all the spots and keeping the match on track plus the classic JR commentary which he did on his own because Lawler left earlier with the godfathers ho's. It's worthy of a video on the channel in its own right.
"Jericho calling all the spots": source, Chris Jericho, probably
There's an alternate reality where Scott Vick in Evolution
God this was a tough sit learning the full story of this “storyline”. Only positive out of this, Kane is a huge Sega Rally Mark
Saga rally?
What the hell was Hunter thinking. I also heard Paul Bearer was angry at this and there was a funeral going on
Thank you so much for uploading this! This was in a time where I didn't watch Wrestling at all. You summed it up for me perfectly 👍🏾
The price you pay for a Billion Dollar Princess: right, Triple H?
And that was no duck sound coming out of his mouth. That was a fart coming out of his ass. He laughed his ass off. 😁
Thank You for covering this in such a way that i didn't feel awkward watching it.
Not sure if anyone else could've done that.
😄👍
Kane and Shane with the tag titles was entirely erased from my mind
I saw it happen on raw when i was 14 😣 the worst part was how seriously they had to act saying all this in an area.ive never been a fan of triple h or kane but i have nothing but respect for them being known for this after all these years 😮💨
