Former WWE creative director David Sahadi recently talked about getting heat for opposing the infamous Katie Vick storyline.
The 2002 storyline involved Triple H accusing Kane of being a murderer, which led to Kane revealing that Vick was his friend who died in a car accident where he was the driver.
Triple H continued to mock Kane over the mishap and the following week he visited a funeral parlor dressed as Kane and climbed into a casket to pretend to make out with a doll that was supposed to be Vick.
Appearing on The Insiders podcast, Sahadi recalled opposing the storyline and getting “a lot of heat” for it.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On getting heat for opposing the Katie Vick storyline: “I was so against that. [And received a lot of heat for it.] I was so appalled and embarrassed by that, that I barely remember that. Things that are that disturbing to me and are that gross, I just tend to wipe my memory, especially if I’ve had nothing to do with it.”
On the storyline crossing a line: “Crossing the lines is good in a lot of ways, but not when it’s a bad way like this, that is not cool. There’s no entertainment there, there’s nothing you can say about that, that you can justify it being put on television. That was my view and I was very vocal about that to everybody.”
