No not Katie Vick!
My man Paul Burchill debuts with his "sister" Katie Lee Burchill. He somewhat looks like Triple H, I really dug this guys work and look a shame he couldn't get over. I'd imagine he would be a huge hit in NXT today. The line "Whatever Katie wants....Katie always gets" pretty much killed what could of been a badass if Vince didn't have his incest obsession.
Why did both Burchills have such short runs? I thought they were charismatic enough.

They were brought up with the incest gimmick, then a few weeks later, the WWE signed the Mattel deal, that Vince had craved ever since he took over the company. Gimmick killed instantly, and a massive depush followed until Paul went to Smackdown and became Pirate Paul, and got long-term injured, and Katie Lea floundered until they were reunited on ECW, but even then they were on the bottom of the roster, feuding with the Hurricane.

Pirate Paul pre-dated the entire pairing with Katie Lea by a good couple of years. The pirate run was in 2006, this stuff was 2008-2010. |

What is it with Vince and incest gimmicks? Actually never mind I don’t want to know. This specifically wasn't Vince. Katie and Paul are the ones that came up with the pairing and gimmick themselves. Can't speak on why Katie didn't get a longer run, but Paul was on the main roster for like 5 years. take a few months off due to the knee injury that ultimately sank the Pirate stuff (as well as the person in creative who was looking for a reason to drop it... and no that wasn't Vince either) |

Katie and Paul are the ones that came up with the pairing and gimmick themselves I mean that’s all well and good, but Vince must have still liked the idea enough to put it on tv, which any rational person wouldn’t do. |

"The Ripper" Paul Burchill should have been a huge star.

 I thought the Beautiful Nightmare and pretending to be different people was amusing, but didn't that last long either. |

I thought she said they were offered the idea and they both loved the challenge of it. Such a shame Katie Lea didn't get a big push as she was pretty much the top female in Europe in the mid 00's (after Becky Lynch's injury took her out for 5 years or so) and was awesome as Nikita. Check out her work against Lacey at Shimmer Volume 5 as a babyface and Shimmer 6 against Daizee Haze playing a heel. Then lament the huge missed pull of talent that could have kick started the Divas revolution ten years earlier. |
