Baron von Bava is classic.

Also, Russo wanting to be David Flair's real dad

yeah the Nazi gimmick and the Posse gimmick were tasteless as hell, even for general wrestling standards

I am now sufficiently motivated to invent time travel just to make sure Spacecore Holly happens.

In April 2010, shortly after her release from WWE, former diva Maria Kanellis did an interview with women's wrestling website diva-dirt. Maria talked about feeling frustrated with WWE writers because they were reluctant to give her or any of the other divas good storylines to sink their teeth into. Sounds fair enough, right?

Well, Maria then proceeded to discuss some rather absurd angles she had strongly suggested to WWE management to get herself over as a top woman in the division.



Essentially, she would play two different characters at the same time. One would be her usual ditzy, innocent blonde character; the other would be a darker version of this: a dark-haired, aggressive rock chick with a no-nonsense attitude. Both these characters would be dating the same wrestler who, inexplicably, wouldn't realize they were one in the same. Then Maria claimed that she would ask for a title shot, and the whole doppelgänger storyline would culminate in her throwing a spray can into a mirror, the mirror cracking, and then both personalities merging as one, leading a new highly motivated super-powered Maria. Then she would go out and win the women's title.



Yikes. Needless to say, the creative team never seriously considered her Hannah Montana rip-off gimmick, possibly feeling it was too convoluted, even by diva standards.

Awesome.

In what may have been a play on their real-life fling, in 2006 Melina was seen seducing Batista in the Smackdown locker room, only to turn around accuse him of “forcing himself” on her in a press conference the following week and threatening to take legal action against the main event star. All things considered, it was a rather tasteless angle. But it could actually have been a lot worse. Indeed, Pro Wrestling Insider claimed at the time the proposed ending for the angle was for it to be revealed that Melina was actually a man. Yes. Melina was going to be revealed to be a dude in drag. Stephanie McMahon, the head writer, wisely turned this down, fearing such angle would wreck Melina's career. Don't worry, Stephanie: Melina managed to do that all by herself.

EVEN BETTER!

I've been pretending for years that Spacecore Holly happened.

That would have been brilliant, it's a shame it wasn't pitched in the attitude era as Hardcore talking about his monkey would have been a perfect fit, just imagine the segments with Al Snow.

Who could have stopped the dastardly Baron Von Bava?

Am I the only one that thinks, with limited actual singing, that Maria could actually pull that idea off AND be entertaining?

Well, it is one of the lesser offensive and dumb ideas on there.


Although it still makes the guy she's dating look like a dumbass if he can't tell he's dating the same chick.

Double the sex, bro, double the sex.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

How the hell was Man Melina supposed to work? Was a notably small cruiserweight going to play her body double after the big reveal?

Is there anything worse than slideshow format articles?

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

Just read through it. The image of Vince leaving the creative meeting in stunned silence is hilarious.

Surprised "Hirohito" wasn't included in some way.

[smoot]

Correct me if I'm wrong- but wasn't Heidenreich the leftover part of that defrosted nazi gimmick?

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I am quite surprised to discover that Goldust wanted the fake boobs and Vince considered it, rather than vice versa. I'd always thought it was a demented Vince idea.

well she did "date" Santino, i think he'd qualify.

Also, whoever subedited this article - if anyone - should be fired immediately. It was riddled with grammatical errors and spelling errors, not least spelling Sonny Onoo's name wrong.
