Every now and then Vince McMahon will come up with an idea that he believes is fantastic, but it won't go over well with the WWE Universe. Paul Burchill was the man who was handed a pirate gimmick after the WWE Chairman saw the success of Pirates of The Caribbean.

After his pirate phase came to an end, Burchill stepped into another interesting WWE storyline. This time he was partnered with Katie Lea Burchill, and since both stars were British, it was decided that they would be shown as siblings.

The Burchills went on to be part of some interesting matches on both RAW and ECW throughout 2009. Their last was with Gregory Helms and they were released from the company in 2010.

It was noted by The Wrestling Observer that at one point there was a plan that was decided by McMahon that would see the two "siblings" become more than just family members. Luckily, this idea was later dropped and the two stars were only ever seen as family members.
