Al Wilsons Kayfabe Death by Conjugal Exhaustion
Al Wilson was former WWE Diva Torrie Wilsons father (in reality, he was an actor). To Torries dismay he fell in love with his daughters archrival Dawn Marie. They married, and shortly thereafter Al reportedly died due to too many instances of marital relations between himself and his new bride during their honeymoon.
Such a tasteless storyline did not go over well with fans, but it nevertheless lasted for months. The lowest point was Wilsons kayfabe funeral, where Dawn Marie got into a fight with Als daughter and blamed her for causing Als death (when, as disgusting as it was, it was clearly Dawn Maries fault). The grieving widow punctuated her point by smashing a lamp over Torries head.
