What stands out as the greatest aborted gimmick, one that just makes you stop and wonder about either the quality or quantity of pharmaceuticals available to WWE Creative.

Probably Hirohito. Kenzo Suzuki as the descendant of Hirohito could have been interesting, yet offensive.

Also SCSA as "Chilly McFreeze", just imagine any Stone Cold Moment with that scenario.

Darren Drozdov's gimmick where he was actually supposed to puke on people, as shown in 'Beyond The Mat'. I know they called him "Puke" briefly, but I don't think he actually vomited on anyone.

Just before incident that crippled him Droz was doing the puke thing. I remember there was GTV segment on Heat were he puked in D'lo's gym bag. |

The Gooker.
WWE Booker sets down his crackpipe:
Hey guys, let's dress up somebody in a 3$ turkey costume and have them wrestle people. But let's spend 7 months hyping it up with a Giant Egg that we'll bring everywhere and shill it as if it's the second coming of Jesus.

Heel Eugene while still in mentally handicapped mode (versus the much more diabolical "he was faking it the whole time" angle they didn't go with)
Mordecai: the wrestlin' Gandalf
......and somehow, Booker and Edge having a Wrestlemania match because of a fictional shampoo commercial also fits here too.

I want to know which writer thought it was a good idea to steal booking ideas from XPW. Think about it. XPW, in their heyday, had John Wayne Gacy, the illegitimate son of Malcolm X (for a show or two, anyway), a snuff film "star" who also happened to be a Neo Nazi, and a guy known only as "Angel the Hardcore Homo." WWE had (or had plans for) an unfrozen Nazi, the son of Hirohito, a pirate, and a wrestling Rain Man. When your idea are "XPW calibur," you know you got problems.

I think an Unfrozen nazi would have been much better for Heidenreich especially at the time he debuted. Would it have been offensive? Sure but it isn't like it is much worse than any USSR Russian gimmicks.
It would never work now with WWE going PG though.

Would Kerwin White count? Not really. The only reason they dropped it was because Eddy passed away and they wanted Chavo to carry on the Guerrero name which is pretty cool yet considering they have never pushed Chavo since(or i guess you could say even before that) it was kind of a waste. |

MVP in Edge's place in the Vickie storyline. (If you remember correctly, MVP was shown alot in Vickies office. He was originally supposed to use Vickie to get every title while he already had the Tags and US)
