Either from dirt sheets or whatever-what were some outlandish plans that were actually planned? Could they have gone over?
I still can't imagine Butch Reed as the IC champion

The entire Vampiro/KISS Demon/KISS concert/holy water/KISS Army stable/whatever the hell else was going to happen. I’m pretty disappointed that it didn’t happen that would have been so, so terrible.

Undertaker doing the job for Randy Orton at Wrestlemania always seemed to me like one that would have far reaching implications.

Putting the title on Muhammad Hassan also would have been a pretty radical move given the times.

WCW Alien invasion led by Mike Tennay. Was that the body snatchers angle / story that Disco Inferno was pushing for?

Also something weird was supposed to be booked, apparently after getting kicked out of Smackdown by UPN, Daivari and Hassan were gonna debut as baby faces on raw but Hassan basically retired.

Vince’s funeral.
The hobo army was debunked by Prichard, but apparently Vince’s brother Rod was in fact pitched by Court Bauer as a face authority figure, and Rod’s sons apparently were gonna feud with Stephanie and Shane.
But then Benoit happened...
Hornswoggle as a heel manager.
Hornswoggle allegedly was gonna have a mobster type gimmick and was gonna manage people, but Vince vetoed it once Hornswoggle messed up the promos.
Heel Austin against Face Triple H
I don’t think this was gonna work at all. According to Bruce Prichard, before tearing his quad, they were gonna break up the two men power trip and Trips was gonna turn face on Austin and chase him for the belt. I can’t see a single person ever cheering for Triple H over Austin haha.
Scott Steiner as wwf main eventer in 93.
Patterson and Prichard pitched Vince to have a recently signed Scott Steiner win the royal rumble and then the belt at wm 9. Vince vetoed it and also Scott didn’t want to break up the team at that point.
Ironically enough, ten years later Steiner ruined his push at royal rumble 03 by having one of the worst matches of all time.

Disco with a straight face pitched Jimmy Hart to hit Jeff Jarrett with a taser and pin him clean. Let’s also not forget the invisible man.

Vince is the father of Steph’s baby. Yeah, glad they nixed that one. It’s ok though, they had a back-up plan... Shane is the father of Steph’s baby.
It’s one of the few times I’m glad Stephanie actually spoke up and basically said “no f***ing way”.

This thread makes my brain hurt in the sense than it wasn’t until LU being a thing that apparently anyone was able to do wrestling storylines right.
Seriously. Look at this shit.

Headbanger Thrasher was supposed to be repackaged as Doink being managed by Bruce Prichard. Bruce was gonna be the Dan Aykroyd salesman character from snl, Bruce was gonna try to sell dubious objects from hardcore matches to kids.
In tna, AJ and Dixie were supposed to have an affair, but the Carter family vetoed it when their friends at the country club asked them what was Dixie doing on tv sleeping with that guy. Claire Lynch was the back up plan. Claire was gonna be Dixie’s niece, again the Carter family vetoed it.
Before Sgt Slaughter turned heel, Vince’s original plan was for Hogan to face Tugboat...yes Sheik Tugboat was gonna be the original iraqi sympathizer. Lol Vince changed the plan once Pat and Prichard laughed at it.

Goldust getting breast implants has to be up there. Vince actually considered it... Vince also came up with a storyline about Goldust being pregnant, and it even ran a week, but it got so bad of a reception that the next week JR buried it on commentary. Dusty’s blackmail photos. Babydoll once gave Dusty an envelope and he got nervous by its content. Rumor and innuendo is that the envelope contained pictures of Dusty having an affair with a woman. The angle was dropped immediately after Babydoll got fired for constantly making out with Sam Houston on the Crockett plane.

That exact Hornswoggle angle more or less happened in Chikara, with Swoggle as "The Big Deal" managing/teaming with The Closers. It....wasn't great.

Let’s also not forget the invisible man. The taser was done with Hall beating Goldberg. Joey Janela booked the invisible man in his battle royal and had him win. WCW’s proposed alien invasion idea was far far worse.
