When Shawn said he had "an insurance policy" did anyone think they had the nerve to put Jose Lothario in DX?
And even if not in that instance. Just imagine how much more comedy DX 1997-98 would provide if Jose was corrupted by Shawn and became a degenerate.
Rude leave and Lothario replaces him.

That would’ve been the biggest disappointment ever.

Just based on the thread title, I came up with an idea to have Jose lose all his savings, and Shawn brings him into the group as a pathetic lackey, making him do demeaning tasks for the group. Could build sympathy for the guy 'til a babyface feuds with DX over Jose's honor or something.

Jose Lothario as a proto-Mizdow would have been the biggest boom in wrestling history.
When Shawn is shirtless, Jose is shirtless.
When Shawn does crotch chops, Jose does crotch chops.
When Shawn's bare ass is hanging out, Jose's bare ass is hanging out.
Take the time to visualize this in your mind and know that I am right.

Did Jose ever get written off TV? I'm pretty sure he was at Royal Rumble 97. Was he ever seen again after Shawn lost his smile? Was he ever even mentioned again?

Kind of what I was going for, though it would make more sense given Jose wasn't in peak wrestling condition in 97. Shawn being like "I need money, JBL" while still wrestling matches for WWE always seemed off to me. |

Given how much Shawn "liked" being paired with Lothario, it would have at least been a funny way for Vince to passive aggressively discipline him.

When Shawn's bare ass is hanging out, Jose's bare ass is hanging out. Take the time to visualize this in your mind and know that I am right. I did what you said, and I’ve just visualised Jose’s saggy, withered, geriatric, tired bare ass hanging out and with that, my weekend is prematurely ruined. Thank you, sir, and good day. |

Yes, it was said beforehand that the Rumble would be the last time Jose would be in Shawn's corner. The reason given was Jose felt guilt about his role in what happened to Shawn at Survivor Series. |

Him in DX would only happen so Shawn and Hunter and Vince from the back could laugh at him and embarrass him on TV because that's the type of guys they are.

That woulda sounded about right. |

After the screwjob, Bret hucks a loogie on Vince because he feels betrayed. He then hucks a loogie on Jose just because

Jose Lothario in D-X is like fitting a square peg into a round hole. It just wouldn't fit at all. I just can't imagine him doing any of the antics that D-X was known for.

When I was reading Harvey Wippleman's wikipedia after the Rock video, I was surprised to see he was with DX for one Raw appearance where he was used to make fun of Rick Rude. I can see DX bringing in Jose but maybe one appearance and again where they make fun of him.

Shawn being like "I need money, JBL" while still wrestling matches for WWE always seemed off to me. I agree. It was definitely stupid. I remember reading at the time that since The Wrestler was such a hot topic of conversation that Vince wanted to do a storyline loosely based on the movie. |
