History StalkerWithACrush / ProfessionalWrestling

* Wrestling/{{Undertaker}} showed hints of this with Stephanie during his Ministry of Darkness period. He seemingly wanted to marry her to take control of the WWF but he invaded her house, left notes on her mirror, messed with her personal belongings, and had pictures taken of her which he had delivered to Vince in an envelope. He referred to himself as her soul mate and kidnapped her on two occasions. During a sit-down with her father & Jerry Lawler, Stephanie said that Taker was sending her pictures. [[note]] Her statement was very vague which left questions of -was Taker sending pictures he had taken of her just as he'd sent them to Vince, or was he sending her candid shots of himself in return for the shots he had of her.[[/note]] On a final note, Stephanie said Taker stripped her, placed her in the dark robes for the ceremony, and repeatedly touched her while declaring that she was his & couldn't do anything about it.

** Kane has done this at least twice, first with Wrestling/{{Lita}} and later with Wrestling/KellyKelly. The first time he was played as a heel but was gradually shifted to face after the story shifted from him stalking, tormenting, and [[ScarpiaUltimatum technically]] raping Lita, to Lita having a miscarriage and losing their child and Kane going out for revenge against the man who caused it, to eventually Lita betraying Kane for Wrestling/{{Edge}}. The second time, Kane was portrayed much more sympathetically from the get go, it starting from an unfortunate misunderstanding. It helped that one, his romantic rival in this case was Wrestling/RandyOrton, and two, that the storyline [[AbortedArc fizzled out]] before anything came of it.

* Undertaker showed hints of this with Stephanie during his Ministry of Darkness period. He seemingly wanted to marry her to take control of the WWF but invaded the McMahon house to leave notes on her mirror, mess with her personal belongings, and had pictures taken of her which he had given to Vince in an envelope. He referred to himself as Stephanie's soul mate and kidnapped her on two occasions. During a sit-down with her father & Jerry Lawler, Stephanie says that Taker was sending her pictures. [[note]] Her statement was very vague and left the question of what pictures she was referring to. Was Taker sending pictures he had taken of her just as he'd sent them to Vince, or was he sending her candid shots of himself in return for the shots he'd gotten of her.[[/note]] On a final note, Stephanie said Taker stripped her and placed her in the dark robes for the ceremony and that he repeatedly touched her while telling her that she was his & couldn't do anything about it.

** Earlier, Alexis Laree herself had one in Ring of Honor, Allison Danger. Danger's case was less obsessive gone too far and more "Laree will be my play thing whether she like it or not" from the very start.

* Wrestling/{{TNA}} would later rehash the Kurt Angle/Booker T/Sharmell angle with Wrestling/ScottSteiner relentlessly pursuing Wrestling/BobbyLashley's wife, Krital Marshall. There was a twist though, as Lashley was a two sport athlete, Kristal began pressuring him to quit pro wrestling and focus exclusively on mixed martial arts, due to TNA's poor handling of the situation, which in turn lead to Lashley assaulting random TNA wrestlers an a bid to get fired when they refused to terminate his contract. Scott Steiner turned out to be a real SwissMessenger, [[VerbalTic huh]]?

** And, all things coming full circle, Kane is now the target of his own stalker with a crush in the form of Wrestling/AJLee, who is convinced that [[TroubledButCute deep beneath his tormented soul]], [[DracoInLeatherPants he]] [[HiddenHeartOfGold really does have a heart]]. For his part, Kane seems more confused by this than anything else, possibly because she is simultaneously a StalkerWithACrush for both Wrestling/CMPunk and [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]].

* Wrestling/{{WWE}} wrestler Mickie James's obsession with TrishStratus went from hero worship, to dressing as Trish on Halloween, to trying to become Trish's lesbian lover (and abducting her boyfriend in the process), to beating Trish severely and [[EvilTastesGood licking the blood]] off her hands afterward. Somehow, when their climactic confrontation for the WWE Women's Championship came, [[DracoInLeatherPants she still got cheered]].

* Wrestler/{{Kane}} would count, but the stalking doesn't last before he just grabs the woman and walks off with her.
