Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Two words that strike fear and terror into even the most jaded Pro Wrestling fan's gonads: Mae Young. Note that in her youth and early career back in the 1950s she was quite attractive, but the way they found to keep her in the industry was appealing to this trope.
    • The 2000 Royal Rumble "Miss Rumble" bikini contest. Hot women in bikinis, often getting skimpier per woman. The last bonus entrant... Mae Young. A woman in her 80s. She then promptly attempts to kiss Jerry Lawler, and ends up baring her breasts. DVD version of this was unfortunately very poorly censored.
    • WWE had a thing called "Divas Undressed" in which the Divas paraded around in skimpy outfits. It was aired at 1 in the morning and they decided the event needed WWE style "comedy". So we got Mae Young again. And, for good measure, Rico in a pineapple bra.
    • The Bra and Panties Gauntlet match at "New Year's Revolution 2006" had her come out and perform a full striptease in front of the crowd.
  • The Katie Vick angle. Triple H brings up Katie Vick during a feud with Kane, a supposed incident where Kane was in love with a cheerleader named Katie Vick, but then she died, and he promptly had sex with her corpse. The lowpoint of this angle was a supposed "video" Triple H produced of Kane committing the act – it was Triple H in a Kane mask, climbing into a coffin with a cheerleader mannequin, pretending to have sex. Ended with Triple H reaching over towards her head, grabbing a handful of spaghetti with sauce and throwing it at the camera, proclaiming that he "screwed her [brains] out".
  • "Big" Dick Johnson. Or, as he was known before he was named on-screen (and his counterpart in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling was actually named), Big Fat Naked Oily Guy. Yes, it's as bad it sounds.
  • Any time a wrestler who has packed on a few bounds wears nothing but tights or trunks. Kane, Matt Hardy, JBL, Hulk Hogan, even Big Show. The list goes on...
