We all remember the KISS Demon I'm sure. But I had a little question to ask anyone who may remember better then me. It's also very possible I imagined this, but I just want to try and clarify it.
Was Brian Adams (Crush) supposed to be The Demon originally and/or did he ever actually appear in the gimmick.
For some reason this popped into my head today, and I swear remembering back around the time The Demon debuted, that it was Adams or was supposed to be Adams and then for some reason Dale Torborg took over pretty quickly.
Did I make this up in my head or did it happen/was it supposed to happen?

It did not just pop in your head. Brian Adams played the Kiss Demon once and then he had a hunch that it was going to suck completley and they pased it to Torborg.

Let's all thank god they didn't go through the full plan with a full KISS stable. They wanted people to dress as all the members. Which reminds me, years ago I saw a group like that in one of the luche libre feds.

It was part of the chaos that was WCW. The original deal was to have some no name guy play the demon (and the other characters acording to Gene) but WCW instead made it know it was Brian Adams. However right after his debut, and an appearence or two, Eric was fired as head of WCW. WCW wanted out of the KISS deal and after a bit of time, brought Brian Adams back as himself (eventually gearing up for an "80's style" tag team with Brian Clarke). Well, Gene put the hammer down on WCW if they didn't go through with it so they just found some other guy to dump the gimmick on and did all they could to weasel out of the deal (The infamous "Main event" match comes to mind) and instead of doing the KISS stable they had the "dark carnival" instead.

It worked better into the Dark Carnival though. I like KISS's music but a whole stable of them would have been annoying. |

Thank god for Adams he got out of that and into KroniK. However I think it did great things for Torborg, as it was his most notoriety and kept him in a job. I did like the Demon/Vampiro feud, till S&P watered it down

Then yeah.. it might not have sucked with a former Demolition member in the role. Imagine if they got him a tag partner, no two tag partners and they all wrestled in KISS style costumes. How soon would WWF have put a suit on for them ripping off Demolition? |

I like KISS's music but a whole stable of them would have been annoying. I kinda liked it too but I don't think a whole stable of them would have been a good idea either. I really hated the whole music wars thing especially because I hate most rap music. |

Let's not forget the time that Norman Smiley somehow got "locked" in The Demon's Sarcophagus, and emerged as "The Screamin' Demon"...

I remember hearing that WCW paid a ridiculous amount of money just to use that KISS name. Money well spent.
