Feel free to share with us your opinion on social media. 12. A Different Imposter Kane Idea For years Kane has been played by one man. Glen Jacobs has donned various masks and showed the character’s evolution. However, at one time Jacobs was contemplating retirement, and though it’s been nearly twenty years that he has been in the WWE, the company couldn’t just end the character because it still had value. The promotion came up with the storyline of an imposter Kane who made his debut at the In Your House: Terry Nadasdi has left the building .">Badd Blood Terry Nadasdi has left the building ."> pay per view in a full body suit and full mask. The imposter at the time was Luke Gallows now one-half, of the tandem Anderson and Gallows. The storyline was going to be that the imposter had his life stolen years earlier when he was imprisoned for years and now was finally returning exacting his revenge. As we know, Jacobs decided against retirement and the storyline didn’t go very far. 11. The Original Plan For ‘The Brood’ Members Prior to reeking of awesomeness, Edge and Christian were a part of this faction, though that wasn’t the original plan. As part of The Brood, Edge, Christian and Gangrel had a dark presence about them that was both frightening and gothic in nature. The group was suggested as being vampires with a modern twist. They would spill blood on their opponents, and certainly turned heads for their edgy nature. The original plans were to have many m e n , several girl s .">both Edge and Gangrel as a part of the faction, but a different member was supposed to be in place of Christian. At the time, a relative unknown wrestler, Christopher Daniels, who was known as the Fallen Angel, was slated to be the third member. However, as the story goes, Edge pushed hard for Christian to get the spot in place of Daniels, and the rest, as they say, is history. 10. Who Was Almost Going To Beat The Streak The most legendary streaks in WWE was The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania, which was broken by Brock Lesnar after twenty-one consecutive victories. However, serious consideration was given to end the streak nearly a decade previously. It was just before WrestleMania 21 when two unlikely men were considered to be the frontrunners to end the iconic streak. It should be noted that the streak would have ended in a she work s here , he doe s more than his share . Another possibility would be to use a past form, e.g.: She wrote me a letter .">tag team match rather than a singles match. The Brothers of Destruction, consisting of Kane and The Undertaker, were going to face Snitsky and Heidenreich. The idea was shot down when Kane got hurt, plus at the time both Snitsky and Heidenreich weren’t considered the safest of opponents to be in the ring with, which contributed to The Undertaker not wanting to work with them. Taker ultimately faced Randy Orton and was victorious in the end. 9. Balls Mahoney Was Going To Be Homosexual and Resemble The Village People The late Jonathan <span class="spellver" title="Richer, Richter, Refiner, Renee, Reaching, Retching, Rene, Revenuer, Rancher, Reached, Reaches, Recheck, Retched, Retches, Techno, Kirchner, Roche, Freshener, Renew, Recharter, Recon, Reigned, Richness, Reasoner, Reechoed, Reechoes, Retainer, Returner, Richie, Rasher, Runner, Rusher, Rachel, Racine, Rockne, Redone, Refine, Reline, Repine, Rezone, Riches, Ruched, Rushier, Rachael, Roche's, Richie's">Rechner will always be known as Balls Mahoney and it would be impossible to see him as anything but that chair swinging freak. However, when he first began to compete he was known as other lesser known characters such as Boo Bradley. When the concept for the Balls character was originally being pitched by Scott Levy, known better as Raven, it wasn’t as it ended up being presented. The original concept for the character was that he would be homosexual, dressed in leather, similar to the member in the Village People . <span class="spellver" title="Richer, Richter, Refiner, Renee, Reaching, Retching, Rene, Revenuer, Rancher, Reached, Reaches, Recheck, Retched, Retches, Techno, Kirchner, Roche, Freshener, Renew, Recharter, Recon, Reigned, Richness, Reasoner, Reechoed, Reechoes, Retainer, Returner, Richie, Rasher, Runner, Rusher, Rachel, Racine, Rockne, Redone, Refine, Reline, Repine, Rezone, Riches, Ruched, Rushier, Rachael, Roche's, Richie's">Rechner wasn’t in favor of this conception, and th u s or th i s .">thus the chair swinging freak was born. 8. A Second Wrestlemania Boxing Match Many wrestling fans will recall Mike Tyson‘s involvement in the Terry Nadasdi has left the building .">WrestleMania XIV match between Shawn Michaels and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin. As the enforcer/referee going into the event, we were all led to believe that Tyson was in the pocket of Degeneration X and was going to screw Austin and secure a victory for Michaels. A few years ago, over four WrestleManias The Undertaker faced either Triple H or Shawn Michaels. However, an early rumor had Mike Tyson returning to square off against Triple H. The match concept that made the rounds were that it would be both a WWE official and a boxing official, so there would be a definitive winner. The details were never ironed out whether it would have been wrestling, boxing or a combination of the two. Since there was no hinted animosity between the two, the match and storyline never got off the ground. 7. The Black Scorpion In WCW in 1990, the promotion created a character that was only known by the name Black Scorpion, a character devoted to tormenting Sting. The character was supposed to be someone from Sting’s past coming back and haunting him. He was dressed in black, wore a long robe and had a hood. The eventual blowoff of the angle took place when Sting faced the Scorpion for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade 90 . The match stipulation was that if Sting won the match, he would find who the Scorpion really was. When the match ended, the Scorpion was victorious and was revealed to be none other than Ric fla re (unless you mean "ability" or "style", in which case flair is the correct spelling).">Flair . However, according to fla re (unless you mean "ability" or "style", in which case flair is the correct spelling).">Flair , that wasn’t the original booking of the match; it was originally supposed to be Four Horsemen member Barry Windham. It was changed because all involved felt it wouldn’t have helped Windham in the long run. 6. The Goobledy…Taker? For a quarter of a century, one character is known not only for his time in WWE but his crossover appeal into popular culture. The Undertaker has found several ways to reinvent himself, and at one time dispatched with the deadman character altogether. However, for all the accolades the character and Calloway has received and the longevity that he has had, that wasn’t the original plan. When Mark Calloway first joined the company, the creative department was still trying to think of how best to use him. Though they ultimately came up with the concept for The Undertaker character, the idea was tossed around to have the Undertaker actually be the Gobbledy Gooker. Both characters debuted at the 1990 Survivor Series . Thankfully that never happened, as one gimmick is considered the greatest while the other is considered the worst. 5. Stone Cold Steve Austin proposed Hit and Run Assailant Fans of the WWE during the Attitude Era will recall the incident when Stone Cold Steve Austin was the victim of a She took the book and placed it on the shelf .">hit and run backstage. The reason for the incident was to get Austin off of television due to ongoing issues he was having with his neck. The driver at the time was unknown, leaving fans to guess the true identity of the assailant. The assailant was revealed to be <span class="spellver" title="Rakish, Rickshaw, Roguish, Relish, Sickish, Rakishly, Turkish, Radish, Ravish, Rush, Ricks, Lakisha, Bookish, Puckish, Ricking, Rubbish, Keisha, Richie, Rickie, Rushy, Rick's, Rigid, Gish, Brackish, Freakish, Priggish, Rash, Peckish, Rigs, Rhenish, Biggish, Piggish, Raffish, Reddish, Roku's, Reich, Riggs, Rakes, Rig's, Rickie's, Garish, Hackish, Hawkish, Mawkish, Geisha, Ricky's, Rico's, Riga's, Rake's">Rikishi, who famously said he “Did it for The Rock.” When it was revealed, the wind was let out of the collective sails of WWE fans. While it was a disappointing reveal, it wasn’t one of the original concepts that were tossed around. One idea was to have the driver be none other than Austin’s real-life wife at the time, Debra. It would have been an incredible heel turn for her and would have created some distance between him and her on-screen. 4. Vince McMahon’s Illegitimate Son Suggested Reveal For all the WWE has done that has been successful, there have been storylines that left a lot to be desired. In 2008, a storyline was being developed where stories were circulating that Vince McMahon had an illegitimate son. While the term “bastard” isn’t new, it was an easy way for WWE to use that word in their promos. As the storyline continued along, rumors were swirling of whom he could be! It ultimately was revealed that the illegitimate son was none other than Hornswoggle. The storyline, much like the Steve Austin assailant one, was a disaster. Perhaps because it wasn’t the original plan, the illegitimate son was originally pegged to be Mr. Kennedy which would have led to the character being pushed towards the championship. Those plans were dropped as Kennedy was suspended due to a failed drug test. 3. The Original Plans For Monday Night Raw’s Anonymous General Manager One of the biggest farces of a storyline was when Monday Night Raw was promoting a new General Manager. The problem was, no one knew who it actually was. The character would email his messages to the roster, and have They , e.g.: They are coming tomorrow . Another possibility would be to write Those .">them read by Michael Cole. Their identity was kept a secret. When it was revealed that the anonymous Raw General Manager was Hornswoggle, another one of the WWE’ s longest running storylines turned into a joke. The original plan, however, was to have the anonymous Terry Nadasdi has left the building .">General Manager be none other than Triple H because he was reducing his time in the ring, having him make the transition to authority figure made sense. There was no reason why that plan was scrapped and Triple H would eventually be a part of The Authority, holding a similar role regardless. 2. Goldust Wanted Breast Implants That title isn’t a typo, and it really was considered. It wasn’t the concept of the WWE creative department, it was the concept of Dustin Runnels himself. While the Goldust character was rather androgynous, this just went to o or too l .">a little too far. When he first appeared on screen, Paul's book (but the Jones' house ).">Runnels’ character suggested that he was homosexual and would often play on the psyche of his opponents. As the story goes, Runnels approached McMahon with the idea, as he was desperate to recapture the attention that the character had during his earlier run in the company. The concept went as far as to plan for cameras to film the procedure taking place. Both Vince Russo and Vince McMahon have validated this story, as has Runnels who initially asked Russo to approach McMahon with the idea. As history shows, the idea never took place. 1. Baron Von Bava While wrestling fans have heard of outrageous ideas coming from the likes of Vince Russo and Vince McMahon, this next idea came from neither of them. The concept came from former WWE producer Dan Madigan. The character Von Bava would have been a Nazi stormtrooper who was frozen by Nazi scientists, much like Austin Powers or Captain America. Von Bava would have been unaware of the world around him and how much it had changed. He would openly demonstrate unacceptable behavior publicly, which would have been a public relation’s disaster. He was going to wear a red Swastika, and it was even was suggested having Paul Heyman, who is Jewish, as his manager. If we thought the Muhammed <span class="spellver" title="Assn, Hessian, Hausa, Hussein, Hissing, Haman, Hosanna, Hamsun, Hansen, Hanson, Hasten, Hussar, Harlan, Lassen, Nissan, Hassle, Haas, Havana, Susan, Hassling, Han, Hanna, San, Gassing, Has, Haydn, Jason, Assign, Hans, Hahn, Hays, Hess, Hiss, Sean, Haws, Hazing, Hosing, Cessna, Hasp, Hast, Haas's, Heisman, Housman, Hudson, Hasting, Hearsay, Haitian, Hausa's, Sassoon, Bassoon, Caisson, Hashing, Hassock, Hussars, Massing, Passing, Sassing, Hesse, Hosea, Horsing, Housing, Hussy, Essen, Halon, Hogan, Kazan, Mason, Nisan, Pusan, Arson, Basin, Haste, Hasty, Haven, Human, Khoisan, Hannah, Henson, Heston, Hiss's, Huston, Hasn't, Hawser, Hay's, Haw's, Hanna's, Hussar's">Hassan character crossed boundaries, Von Bava would have had a hard time being accepted anywhere. Thankfully the idea didn’t see the light of day. Source: www.therichest.com CLICK HERE to join our BBM Channel for faster updates
