Never involve your woman in your business, or with any dude. It almost never ends well.

It's just creepy to watch this now...it went from storyline to real life and ended tragically.

You wanna know the funny part?

The affair was Kevin's idea.

[Fantom]

Amazing how this scripted storyline became a real life situation.

[ryankatz]

Kevin Sullivan orchestrated his own divorce, and unfortunately this ended in disaster in 2007

[Jackofalltrades]

Now I understand how Mike Graham felt about Benoit. This storyline should NOT have happened..

[MrRyan-wujx]

Kevin Sullivan booked this storyline. It was a bad call and why I don’t blame HHH for vetoing Kurt Angle having any romantic storyline with Stephanie in 2000.

It’s difficult to watch any clips of CB… and I was a fan from back in the day. ☹️

[DanielSmith-zvyc]

Oh my, after 20+ years and the death of both of them it’s almost creepy

Kevin Sullivan booked his own divorce.

[kevinlynn]

Kevin Sullivan was the booker at the time so this was his idea

[shezziesbaby]

[iwanttoseemrshow]

Kevin Sullivan is gonna kill them when he finds out

[TheStuport]

This relationship went from REEL TV to REAL TV and the results were Tragic.

[Deepizzaguy]

Nancy may she rest in peace showed me that she was not a woman to be messed with despite her image as a pretty face,

[ryanlarocca]

Holy shit I remember this... as soon as it started playing... remembered they were going to cross arms and drink the wine. I was 10 when I watched it.

[MrKing]

I wonder if Nancys family are upset at Sullivan for booking this relationship

[indiasupportstrumpwwgwga]

Nancy would have been a strong feminist in today's Instagram/Tik Tok era.

[leightonatkinson-gbfy]

One of the greatest rivalries in WCW history

This story still haunts me. Every now and then I'll look them up. Unbelievable what he did to Nancy and Daniel. Such a shame! R.I.P.
