Former WWE executive Bruch Prichard discussed the Katie Vick storyline briefly on a recent edition of his podcast, Something To Wrestle With, and revealed the original plans for the angle. For those of you who don’t know, the Katie Vick storyline was used in a feud between Triple H and Kane. Vick was Kane’s deceased storyline ex-girlfriend who died in a car accident in which Kane was driving.
Triple H tormented Kane with this and even went as far as dressing up as Kane, sneaking into a funeral home where her body was being held, and performed necrophilia on it. It’s considered to be the worst segment in WWE history and the company has deleted virtually all references to it. Here’s what he had to say:
“You ever have those moments in your life where there are things that are so traumatic that you block them out entirely? (This) really and truly is one of them on so many different counts. The original idea behind Katie Vick was a way to introduce Scott Vick, who was a part of our developmental system.
“We were going to bring Scott in, and he was going to work with Kane or Triple H, I forget which at this point. Scott just had some really, really horrible dark matches at TV and on the road. When he got the nod to come up to the show, all of his matches from that point going forward just, the bottom fell out. Vince is like ‘What the hell are we doing?
“So, he changed, and we had already teased the name Katie Vick. So it’s like ‘Ok, let’s change this and move it over to Kane. It can be his girlfriend.’ It was during a time that Vince was big into ‘We need more soap opera, we need more stories behind the characters.’
“So we started creating stories and it came to the story of what if Kane accidentally, didn’t murder her, but was driving and, oh my god, then the drinking and it just grew. It’s another glowing example of ‘Don’t suggest or say things in jest that you don’t want to have show up on the show”
