A girl as hot as Francine would’ve probably been placed on the Sunny tier during that time, and Sunny made a lot of f***ing money during that time, sadly she spend most of it on drugs but that’s another story for another day. Apparently once Francine actually got to WWE in 2006, Vince thought she was ugly. So I don't think she would have lasted very long even back then. We were robbed of not getting an incest storyline with the McMahons. I also wish Goldust got a pair of tits....wrestling is weird f***ing business, man. Oh he got them, you just had to wait until he was Black Reign in TNA. Not that she was ugly, but apparently that she was too old.

For what it’s worth, he didn’t despise the boob job angle and actually Vince considered it but at the end realized that it was the wrong kind of heat. Speaking of the wrong kind of heat, if they went along with this proposed match, the wwe would’ve died. The angry backlash from fans, networks, and sponsors would’ve left in masses. Apparently in wm 12, Roddy Piper’s original opponent was OJ Simpson. This was right after the murder trial ended and because they were desperate and losing money, this was the awful new generation era after all, Vince actually contacted OJ’s people and he accepted to do it. At the end Vince realized how bad it would look and how it would be received so poorly so he cancelled and put Goldust on OJ’s place. I thought the match was going to be Razor and Goldust but Hall was having issues so Piper replaced Hall. It was going to be Goldust against Hall and Piper-OJ, but since they were out of opponents, it was merged into Piper-Goldust.

Chris Jericho considered going to Impact..
He said he almost did right before Tony Khan offered him an AEW contract, which I would guess is probably quite a bit more money than a TNA deal.
Kind of lucky for AEW because Jericho is still a big name and a great wreslter.
On another note, imagine if Bret would have went to WCW in his 1996 mini-hiatus. We would have never gotten the Austin feud, and the double turn at Wrestlemania. Or what if Shawn never lost his smile? We'd have gotten that Hart-Micheals rematch, the legendary submission match and double turn wouldn't likely happen, and Austin would likely be working a match much lower on a card if they went ahead with Hart-Micheals and Sid-Undertaker.

Harlem Heat as slaves has got to be the leader in the clubhouse for this topic. I mean how can this ever even come up in a creative meeting and how does it ever get approved? Hank Aaron would have made damn sure that WCW was shut down if this ever saw the light of day. IIRC they were supposed to be prisoners and not salves, but since they were managed by Colonel Parker, you had two chained black guys led by a southern gentleman. So, yeah. Correct. They were supposed to be two prisoners on a Chain Gang work detail. It's still an awful idea and would have looked terrible, but yeah..

The rumors that Razor Ramon was going to turn heel in early 1995 and wrestle the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 11. Since it would've likely been building towards a Razor/Diesel feud for the title, Razor probably would have won at Mania...which means The Streak never happens.

Jericho has never given a single thought going to impact, he just used their sorry asses as bairgaining chips when asking for a better deal. In 2007 the f***er even leaked a meeting he had with Dixie and Jarrett so Vince would offer him more money. He did the same with Tony Khan.

Didn't Edge say in his book that him and Val Venis were almost the New Midnight Express? "Adorable" Adam and "Sensual" Sean I think were the names proposed.

I swear that the story about Goldust getting boobs was that Dustin is the one who actually thought about it, but he decided not to or they told him that the idea was scrapped. But Dustin was kind of on board for a minute.

When Ric Flair first started, he really really wanted to be Ricky Rhodes, relative of Dusty. Could have very well had turned him into just the first of a long line of Dusty imitators instead of becoming the Man.

I think that the fact that they decided to go with Bart Gunn and Bob Holly showed how little WWE felt about either of those guys at the time.

Flair would never have got over with someone else's gimmick...! *very distant rimshot*

But Dustin was kind of on board for a minute. Was this the teaser they did at the end of a Shotgun Saturday night show, or was that the Pregnant Goldust? I can't remember, but I do remember having to watch Shotgun the next week just to find out (the next week, I found out nothing).
