In WWE, couples have been part and parcel of programming for decades.
From whirlwind romances to deadly alliances and everything else in between, we've seen almost everything imaginable when it comes to two people linking up to combine their minds and powers.
Some of these duos stood the test of time and are fondly remembered by fans as the greatest of their time.
Take no greater example than Macho Man Randy Savage and the lovely Miss Elizabeth. The husband and wife partnership were together for much of Savage's WWE career, guiding him to the WWE title and many other glories before parting - only to get together again and marry on screen in a loving affair at Summerslam in 1991.
WWE's less-than-favourite couples of all time
But, not every alliance has been quite as sweet. Many partnerships were founded under on-screen storyline distress, where one or both of the duo hated one another, while other couplings just made the skins of WWE Universe members crawl.
In this feature, we'll be taking a look at some of those dastardly duos. The ones whose characters looked bad, smelled bad, or just generally got people's backs up! For your delight and consideration, here are 5 of WWE's most undesirable couples of all time.
#5. Brian Pillman and Marlena
Back in the Autumn of 1997, WWE was slowly edging into the Attitude Era and, as a result, its programming was becomig a little more close to the knuckle.
One such storyline was that between Brian Pillman and Goldust. Pillman had been leering and taunting Goldust about his own personal affections for Goldust's wife, Marlena. The two men took turns humiliating each other on national television, but things took an unpleasant twist at Ground Zero: In Your House that year.
Pillman promised that he'd back off and leave the married couple to their lives - so long as Goldust could beat him in one final match.
Pillman won the match, however, after Marlena's interference backfired. The dangerous downside to the defeat was that, in return for agreeing to leave WWE if he lost, Pillman forced Goldust to accept that, if he was victorious, Marlena would have to spend the following 30 days at his side.
After that bout, the letcherous Pillman gleefully whisked Marlena away from the area and, over the coming weeks, forced her to accompany him to his matches and, generally, do whatever else he asked. Thus, one of WWE's most unpleasant duos was born.
Before the 30 days was up and the storyline could reach a conclusion, Pillman sadly and suddenly died. While the world mourned a tremendous athlete and a great man, wrestling fans were left to remember his final storyline with a perverse fondess.
#4. Bam Bam Bigelow & Luna Vachon
The WWE Universe got its first major glimpse of the ghastly Luna Vachon at WrestleMania 9, when she brutally attacked Sensational Sherri in the night's opening match.
It wasn't long after that we were told that she and Bam Bam Bigelow were a couple, after the Beast From the East proudly announced the news himself.
The two were comfortably one of the most intimidating duos of the mid 1990s, with Luna dubbed Bigelow's 'Main Squeeze' and accompanying him to the ring in all of his matches for the latter part of 1993 and the first half of 1994.
WWE Undesireables - Bam Bam and Luna
Arguably the high point of this duo's horrid partnership was WWE WrestleMania 10 in 1994. At Madison Square Garden, the two joined forces in a mixed tag team match to take on fan favourite Doink the Clown and his sidekick, Dink.
The two heels worked together fluidly, showing no mercy with some high-impact moves. In the end, they stood tall and victorious as MSG looked on and, most likely, pinched their noses in disgust.
This partnership would come to an end before 1994 was out, with Bigelow moving on to pastures new as part of Ted Dibiase's Million Dollar Corporation. Luna had her own singles career, too, battling Alundra Blaze in a quest to win the WWE Women's Championship.
Bam Bam and Luna are both now, sadly, no longer with us, but they won't be forgotten in a hurry!
#3. Lita and Kane
There are few WWE Superstars more sinister than Kane, the Big Red Machine.
Back in the mid 2000s, Kane was involved in an unlikely and, at times, controversial love triangle with Matt Hardy and Lita.
Kane developed an unnatural interest in Lita and would begin to 'stalk' her on WWE programming, with Lita's ex, Hardy, having to come to her rescue and paying the price physically as a result.
The Devil's Favourite Demon agreed to leave Lita be - only if the former Women's Champion spends the night with him. Lita would fall pregnant, with the father of the baby believed to be Kane's, only to be confirmed as Matt's. Following us so far? Good.
WWE's oddest couple? Lita and Kane
This whole thing needs to come to ahead, and Kane and Hardy wrestle one another at Summerslam, with the crackers stipulation that the winner get to marry Lita. Sure enough, Kane gets the W and, as a result, Lita marries him and solidifies another horrible WWE coupling.
It was never a truly perfect partnership of course. Lita spent most of her time at Kane's side costing him matches. Lita's character would go on to 'lose' her baby, as Kane began a feud with Gene Stitsky. Defending her honour, Kane actually went on to being booked as an unlikely babyface, Lita then turning on him to align with Edge.
#2. Edge and Vickie Guerrero
As far as WWE heel couples go, there may be none that conjure vomit-inducing memories for fans than Edge and Vickie Guerrero.
Vickie and Edge got together in 2007. At the time, Vickie was the General Manager of SmackDown, the brand on which Edge wrestled. The pair, having begun a physical relationship on screen, schemed and plotted their way to Edge becoming World Heavyweight Champion.
It wasn't without cost, however - Vickie once ate a Tombstone piledriver from The Undertaker as commumpance for her dastardly ways, but it didn't seem to stop the GM from backing her man.
WWE's oddest romances - Edge and Vickie
The duo carried on their merry way, with gross scenes of physical affection as they went. It was always to Edge's advantage, as Vickie always ensured her man was placed in matches and situations that favoured him. It all led to the two becoming married after Edge proposed, the wedding eventually taking place before an episode of WWE SmackDown.
Wedded bliss didn't last long for them, however - Triple H rumbled the dirty groom by revealing to his new wife that he'd infact cheated on her with their wedding planner, Alicia Fox. Ouch!
#1. Harvey Wippleman and Bertha Faye
In WWE in the mid 1990s, there weren't many more annoying characters than the runt that was Harvey Wippleman.
The greasy-haired manager always drew the ire of fans for his loudmouth, trash-talking ways, with Harvey never capable of backing up his words with any kind of physicality. With hatred towards him nearing a peak in 1995, WWE knew exactly how to turn things up a yet another notch - by giving him a love interest, of course!
It was at that point - April 1995 to be exact - that WWE welcomed Bertha Faye into the mix. Bertha was a powerful, menacing character who loved and doted on Harvey. The two were sickeningly in love, it seemed, and Harvey was never far from her side.
WWE Women's Champion Bertha Faye and her lover, Harvey Wippleman
He guided her through her fairly short WWE career, the peak of which came at Summerslam in 1995 when Faye won the WWE Women's Championship.
Months after she'd broken the nose of then-champ Alundra Blayze, Faye got her title shot at the biggest show of the summer, and ended up routing Blayze to win the title - much to Harvey's delight, of course!
Her reign was fleeting, as she lost the gold back to Blayze on an episode of RAW around six weeks later.
The two stayed together a little while longer before Faye's exit from WWE.
