After reading the other day about Jericho and Punk wanting tattooing to be apart of their feud from last year, and how Daniel Bryan was originally going to come in as THE Brian Kendrick's tag partner, it got me to wondering what your favorite angles-that-never-were are?
I remember years ago, ROH wanted to bring in Val Venis, possibly to do something with "Addicted to Love" Rhett Titus, but that never panned out.

Damn I wish ROH did bring in Val, that would have been entertaining as hell. I am currently unable to think of anything but all I want in the world right now is for someone to post more

Literally anything with Doink other than turning him face. Especially the whole "I know him!" thing Heenan had going on.
I guess the most famous would be the incest idea.

Probably earlier than the Rhett Titus/Venis stuff, but on the same token for ROH/Venis: The Steven Richards ROH storyline- where fans broke it by going to the arenas and seeing if Richards was booked for shows- also finding proof that Venis was also booked for ROH dates as well. Once it broke, the whole storyline was forced to be dropped.

Once it broke, the whole storyline was forced to be dropped. Wow, Richards is another guy who could have done some really great stuff with ROH. I honestly believe, while I'm not a fan of their overall product, that ROH probably puts out the best angles of any wrestling company over a specific period of time. I'm not saying that ROH has the claim of best story line ever but the ratio with them seems to be the best. Literally anything with Doink other than turning him face. Especially the whole "I know him!" thing Heenan had going on. I guess the most famous would be the incest idea. I totally forgot about the Heenan/Doink thing. I really wish that would have went further because it had me hooked at first. - On topic, what about GTV, was there any other idea about that bar the Golddust stuff? Also does anyone have any information of the nixed Punk/ADR MMA based storyline? I heard Chael Sonnen was supposed to be doing some stuff with them but it could have been just pure speculation.

There is one: The Black Scorpion angle. It was suppost to be the Ultimate Warrior, I heard...but he instead resigned with WWF. I wonder where WCW would have gone if they had got him.

The time that Goldust was supposedly going to get breast implants before someone was able to talk some sense into him and Vince.

Spartacus Flair and the Hunchbacks. Y'know, I wish I could peer into some divergent reality and see just how far Herd could have taken things had he been left alone.
My favorite at the moment is the one Russo (yeah yeah, I know) came up with during his five minute return to WWE: Bring Bischoff in and have the two team up with Shane to fight Vince. Taking that further, would have loved to see Heyman and Cornette (both of whom were on the payroll at the time) get attached to it as well.

One story I heard was that Tom Green was supposed to be involved, but that idea was dropped because--surprise surprise!--Vince McMahon didn't know who Tom Green was.
Earlier this year, I remember the board talking about an alien invasion storyline that was supposed to take place in WCW. The big payoff was to be the revelation that Mike Tenay was their leader; the camera would go to a grinning Tenay as antennae grew out of his head. Someone said that Disco Inferno had the whole thing laid out in storyboard form and actually pitched it to the creative team.
Someday, I hope we get a book about storylines and characters that never came to fruition. I think that would be a fascinating read.

Paul London being the mastermind behind Vince's limo blowing up. I've even heard that it was supposed to culminate in a match with HHH at WM.

I've never heard of the Heenan/Doink thing! Care to elaborate? When Doink became a full-time wrestler, Bobby Heenan made comments such as "There's something familiar about him that I just can't put my finger on!" It was as if he was insinuating that he had seen Doink, or at least Doink's wrestling style, before. I don't know if WWE planned on Heenan actually knowing who was under the makeup, or if it was just Bobby being Bobby.

I doubt there was a storyline there; that was a time-honored tradition with announcers and masked men, being on the verge of deducing their identity on their style, movement, etc., but never quite figuring it out.
