The idea this is real is unfathomable.

Where did you read about that? It had been a longstanding rumor since 2015 that this was the early plans to debut Kalisto on the main roster.

Allegedly there was an idea to team up the Undertaker and IRS and call them Death and Taxes.

Allegedly there was an idea to team up the Undertaker and IRS and call them Death and Taxes. To be honest, that pairing sounds kinda awesome just for the name alone.

CM Punk in the spirit Squad. I believe that was rumored after the Deaf CM Punk gimmick.

Would his attitude and demeanor, I bet Punk would LOVE dressing up in a long sleeve shirt with sweater vest and sweatpants and being made to look like a fairy at the hands of DX. After all, it’s not like the gimmick killed off the others careers right? Right? Oh wait. (Except for Dolph)

The idea this is real is unfathomable. Apparently Jim Herd denied this. He claims he wanted Flair to change his image, but would keep the Ric Flair name.

Allegedly there was an idea to team up the Undertaker and IRS and call them Death and Taxes. Related, but any time the Undertaker "died" and people predicted he'd return dressed in white and be "The Savior" or something.

Death and Taxes sounds like an RSPW fantasy booking proposal rather than something legitimate.

Mason the Mutilator (or was it Manson?). I know it was adjusted and saved by Foley but can you imagine what McMahon would have wanted him to do if left up to his whims? They even drew some sketches for the impending gimmick....

The Sisters of Love. Not sure if they count because they _just barely_ made it to TV, but not Raw.
Chaz Warrington and Glen Ruth were a team called the Flying Nuns. They had a single match, on Shotgun Saturday Night. Brother Love came out, helped them cheat to beat the Godwinns, then cuts a promo where he says they'll be the Sisters of Love.
And it was written off TV the very next Shotgun. "The Sisters of Love got arrested so they won't be here. We've got the Headbangers instead."

Apparently the original idea for Harlem Heat was that they were going to be convicts that Colonel Robert Parker won in a card game. They would be led to the ring by Parker who looked like a southern plantation owner while wearing chains. Fortunately someone came to their senses and nixed it. However you can tell it was close to being greenlighted. For instance in the 1993 Fall Brawl Wargames poster which has all the guys in the main event on it, both Harlem Heat members are clearly wearing prision uniforms. There was also a early match of there's on YouTube I saw where they have prison uniform tops but at least have their regular black and red tights they were wearing at the time and didn't come out in chains. youtu.be/Myhyx4RmauQAlso , in that Fall Brawl photo, you can see the chains around their prison shirts.

Not to mention there was an obviously fake rumor that Honey Boo Boo was going to wrestle a match. There’s NO WAY WWE would allow that.

Wasn’t there a rumour Charles Wright was originally going to return as Papa Shango, and was the reason why Backlund had gone insane in 1994?
