Post some of the worst ideas that actually DIDN'T make it to WWE screens, or got pulled very quickly. Stuff that would have certainly been WrestleCrap.
I don't know either of these are true...
I heard that the idea for Heidenreich originally was for him to be an unfrozen Nazi. He would team with Kenzo Suzuki, who would have then gone under the name Hirohito aka the Japanese Emporer during WWII. If I'm not imagining it, we even got one short teaser for Hirohito before someone realized the idea was horrible.
Dolph Ziggler's original schtick was going to be the size of his package, hence the name sounding similar to Dirk Diggler.

Tugboat/Typhoon was orginally going to be Big Man Steele, with Slick as a manager and part of the stable

in 1997 I've read that there were plans to turn Hogan face after Starrcade 97 (after losing to Sting)...after that a Hogan/Sting vs. Outsiders feud ("marriage") was planned

The Too Much wedding. And the Rock/Mankind wedding. But finally- FINALLY- we got a gay marriage in the form of Chuck and Billy ... which was revealed to be a farce anyway.

Rumour had it that Vince Russo wanted to give The Rock's character several homosexual tendencies when he returned to the WWE booking squad in 2002. For The Rock's character, that could have had Red Rooster-like implications...

Vince Russo...when he returned to the WWE booking squad in 2002. I always forget that even happened. It just seems bizarre somehow. |

A tag team of Hardcore Holly and Eugene, with a monkey as a manager.
It could've either been genius, or utter crap.

If i remember correctly, during Ken Anderson's shoot, he said that when he sat down with Vince and some of the creative team to pitch a name and gimmick, he was telling then that his character is basically an "asshole" heel and while trying to come up with a name for his character, one of the guys in creative pitched for his name to be Mr. "A. Hole".
