WCW toyed with idea to make Team Canada aliens from space

This was a Disco Inferno idea he so badly wanted aliens he pitched it for Team Canada and another time with Mike Tenay.

[Welfare Willis]

So,I guess Disco Inferno was on the booking team around this time?

Cheese and crackers

Unsure if he formally was, or if he just kept trying to pitch stuff due to being friendly with Russo.

I’d swear when Lance had his podcast with Callis, he mentioned the aliens thing one of the times he was ripping on Disco

*Looks at current and recent wrestling landscape*

Disco was...kind of the victim of being ahead of his time.

Yeah, he's told it before, including the detail of Mike Tenay somehow growing antennae as a special effect, and that Lance looked on Disco with disbelief, as Disco was legitimately proud of his suggestion.

Oh man, I forgot about the Tenay antennae thing. Too funny!!!

I miss that podcast, if only for them constantly ripping on Disco. When Disco was actually on the show, by the end Cyrus was blaming him for WCW dying. It was hilarious

Disco is an odd dude.

He wasn’t on the team but Russo allowed him in the meetings because he got a kick out of him.When Russo left he continued going to the meetings but his stuff never got used the committee just liked to hear his goofy ideas.

In TNA in 2003 Russo,Disco,Mike Sanders and Raven would drive from Atlanta to Nashville for the weekly ppv and come up with ideas for the show.Russo turned Disco pitching crappy ideas in real-life into a storyline where Disco & Sanders were in charge of Creative & Character development for The S.E.X. Group each week they’d debut a bad gimmick like the sloppy Elvis impersonator who eats a sandwich on the way to the ring called Disgaceland or A stripper flashing her implants at Sanders opponents leading to a catfight with cage dancer Lollipop going topless after getting implants herself.The angle ended logically with Disco beating Aj Styles on the way to a nwa world title match with Jeff Jarrett.

[Honeybear Lyder]

Still better than Vince McMahon and his obsession with incest angles.

[SCCB Was Told To Do Steroids]

This idea was so bad even Disco had denied pitching it recently.

[Natural Born Farmer]

Part of me is like “this is why Jim Cornette loses his shit when companies try and push stupid gimmicks”.

Part of me realizes I love Luchasaurus.

Depending on how tongue in cheek it was presented and how into it the performers were, I guess it could work.

[Bub (BLM)]

I guarantee this idea only came about because of how stoic and awkward Lance Storm is.😂

Hacksaw gets beemed up never to be seen again.

I wish I could have seen this

[krozor]

Not gonna lie, I would have totally been on board with more WCW if they had done the "Vampiro gets pushed into a giant vat of holy water on New Year's Eve to save the world from evil" and then followed it up with an invasion of incredibly genial alien invaders.

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

This is amazing and Lance Storm is wrong to think it's not amazing.
