Remember the Katie Vick storyline? Hopefully you don’t.
Jonathan Coachman Remembers Katie Vick
Jonathan Coachman was in WWE from 1999 to 2008. He worked closely with Vince McMahon during his time with the company and got to witness the good and the bad of Vince McMahon’s WWE creative. The Katie Vick storyline between Triple H and Kane was one of those on the bad end.
While being interviewed by Chris Van Vliet, Coachman mentioned how people were terrified of McMahon during his reign. Jonathan Coachman says he remembers many instances in which he regrets not standing up to the former WWE Chairman.
I’m not proud of the fact that I never told him no, this is one of the things that I’ve told you on and off camera. There’s a lot of things I should have said no to.
That was one of the most repulsive, disgusting storylines of all time. During that time, Vince would go down a road and everything he was doing was hitting, whether it was the milk truck, whether it was the cement truck with the Corvette, all of that stuff. So let’s just keep going. Let’s do shock TV.

There was a storyline between Triple H and Kane that had Triple H accusing Kane of murdering Katie Vick. While Kane would later admit to Vick dying during a car accident with him, Triple H pushed it further. He would go on to accuse Kane of being drunk during the accident and also claimed that Kane had sex with the late star after the incident.
A week later Triple H would appear in a backstage segment with Jonathan Coachman where he teased showing a videotape of Kane. Well, the tape that was shown with a warning of discretion, featured Triple H dressed as Kane in a funeral parlor, and got intimate with the body of the supposedly deceased Vick.
According to Coachman, nobody in the arena was aware of the contents of the video until it aired on the show, and nobody was happy with it.
I can tell you this, because they shot that off-site so nobody had seen it until it ran on the show. And backstage, you could hear people just groaning because it was so incredibly bad. And if you put a lie detector on Triple H today, he would probably tell you the same thing.

Thankfully, Vince McMahon is no longer apart of WWE.
