I don't think this would've flown even in the late 90s.
But I do find it interesting how much Russo loved his fan disservice comedy and toilet humor. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think "fanservice based women's promotion" and "ugly sharting grandma" go together.
And I've killed zero actual wrestling companies and have run two successful efeds (neither of which had ugly sharting grandmas in them), so I'm pretty sure I'm qualified to make that judgment.

I'm not in anyway trying to defend this or say it was right, and it would've probably bombed worse than Heroes of Wrestling.
With that said, I could totally see a network like Comedy Central trying to put this on the early 2000's circa 2001-2002. Wrestling was still wildly popular, and in a world of entertainment like The Man Show, Jackass, Howard Stern, Austin Powers, American Pie - this might've been greenlit.

Wait, I thought 'Moose Knuckle' was the male version of Camel Toe. But both Moose Knuckle and Camel Toe are women? I think Russo finally lost me with this incongruity. Here's the really sad part of that whole thing: Russo actually did get away with using the name "Moose Knuckles" for a wrestler. It's what TNA rechristened Mickie Knuckles during her short cup of coffee with the promotion back in 2008.

Having run a promotion and had wrestlers constantly pitch their horrible ideas to me it's rare I'm at a loss for words.
Good god.

So you know how Sean Morley's career was basically derailed the moment he was booked as a porn star because for how over he was, there wasn't really much to go from after the shelf life of the gimmick ended?
This is a write-up of a promotion where everyone is Val Venis.

I'm stuck on trying to figure out what a !@#$man is because no swear I can think to fill in makes it make any more sense in context.

Why do I get the feeling he'd pitch the exact same thing to a network changing absolutely nothing tomorrow?
