Does anyone remember this rumour or did I make it up in my head? Why would have anyone thought it was a good idea?

It was deaf I believe and Mickie James was his caregiver. Think they worked a few dark matches and house shows using it.

A blind wrestler who's played like Zatoichi by CM Punk could be my favorite character ever.

Weren't there also rumors that Punk would be a balloon vendor? Or did someone make that up?

Wasn't it because management thought Punk didn't have any mic skills?

My favorite gimmick rumor was Heidenreich the unfrozen caveman Nazi. Either that or Kenzo Suzuki as Emperor Hirohito.

My favorite gimmick rumor was Heidenreich the unfrozen caveman Nazi. That was a legit pitch from someone in creative, former creative guys have talked about it. Seems to be one of the only things to ever legitimately disgust Vince.

What about the rumor that Eugene and Bob Holly were going to be a tag team accompanied to the ring by a monkey?

I'm still not sure if Sabu debuting as a villainous Pizza Chef was an idea that came from here or a real idea from creative.

Blind Punk versus Cena would have been interesting.

Yeah, if you search WWE Hirohito on YouTube, the first result should be the vignette from RoundtableVideo I just watched that and WHAT?! Seriously at the end it said "A great leader will return" then showed the Hirohito named....But Hirohito died in nineteen eighty nine....How exactly did they plan to explain that? Was it going to be one of his children or just a guy from japan who thought he was Hirohito? I'm putting way much thought into this aren't I?
