10 of the Most Controversial Incidents in Pro Wrestling History

6. Lita has a miscarriage on live TV

Actually, there was a LOT going on with this angle that offended the sensibilities. For one, there was the 'forced marriage' angle where Kane coerced Lita into a wedding so Kane wouldn't murder Matt Hardy. Yikes.

Then WWE doubled down on offensive content. During a match with fellow seven-foot wrestler Gene Snitsky, Lita was accidentally knocked off the ring apron by the newcomer. This led to Lita, who was kayfabe pregnant with Kane's child at the time, to lose her baby on national television.

Millions of women around the world suffer miscarriages every year. Mocking their pain and suffering with a tacky wrestling angle showed poor judgment on the WWE's part, as well as having Gene Snitsky come out and taunt Lita about it week after week.
