Someone already tried to do that with Heidenreich as an unfrozen Nazi and Kenzo Suzuki as Hirohito. The former offended Vince so much he stormed out of the room and the latter was dropped pretty much immediately when someone reminded WWE how much money they make in Japan and that Hirohito is still a revered figure in a lot of Japanese society. How bad must an idea be if VINCE F'N MCMAHON is offended? My favorite part was that his reported reaction is not that he really stormed out. So much as he just silently got up and left the room.

I remember the controversy when Gunther and Kaiser got their current names, but I'm shocked that VKM never went all in. You've got a German, and an Italian in Vinci. Why not add Nakamura or Tozawa and form.....the Axis? Gunther isn't German, he's Austrian.

I'm still equally surprised and thankful that he never had a full make out session with Stephanie on live TV.

He pitched the idea of Shane

He booked Eric Bischoff making out with his wife and daughter. So, why not go 3-for-3 with Shane? Wait, who do you want to make out with Shane?

Vince has never had a Nazi gimmick. He had evil Russians, evil Japanese people, evil Iraqis, evil Arabs, heck any evil generic foreign gimmicks you could think of. But never a Nazi. Except JBL that one time in Germany... Although to his discredit, he's had Ludwig Borga, the Harris Brothers, and Sarah Logan, who were all real life Neo-Nazis...

Had this been 2015 I'm sure he would have.

I'm shocked neither Vince ever had a First Blood match between two women and had someone dump one of the competitor's purses out to reveal they had pads or tampons, and for the ref to call for the bell. That's more Russo than McMahon. That’s more Gigi Dolin than Russo.

Honestly, it's kind of quaint to look back at the sheer tantrums some people had about that spot, sucks how much harassment she was getting over it.
