Perry Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Surely the most bizzare one would be when Vince broached the idea of being the father to Steph's kid. Apparently Steph shot the idea down pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been all kinds of fun. I love the story of that. Dan Madigan apparently made the pitch of him being a Nazi frozen in time who didn't understand why he was being hated by the fans. To give the pitch life he apparently got up and goosestepped around the room while explaining it, to which Vince calmly got up, packed up his things and walked out on the meeting without saying a word.

WyattSheepMask Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Had they pitched that in Smokey Mountain, it would’ve definitely happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted February 1, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 1, 2021 A couple of months before Kronik debuted on TV, I read there was keen interest from the WWF to lure both back from WCW and repackage them as a new Demolition. Absolute bollocks. Can you imagine Vinces lads watching everything Crush was capable of in about 6 different characters in 2 runs and thinking “No, we didn’t get everything we could out of Adams.” Oh, wait...

RancidPunx Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 So did Dustin Rhodes want to get tits implanted back in 1998 ? Dustin has denied it but quite a few people have said it’s true . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been all kinds of fun. I want to say this was Dan Madigan. He had some interesting stories, some of which made WWE seems an incredibly callous and horrid company (which years have proven to be more the true side of the tales). He was also the bloke who had the idea of a defrosted nazi managed by a jewish manager. This was the infamous pitch where apparently Vince got up and left immediately after without uttering a word.

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted February 2, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 2, 2021 I’m sure I read those same tidbits just recently. Oh, wait. It was four posts up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 2, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 2, 2021 yeah, it was Dan Madigan who pitched Heidenreich as a Nazi, and wanted Paul Heyman to manage him. It was around the same time that they were going to debut Kenzo Suzuki as Hirohito, which I think even made it as far as getting a pre-debut vignette on RAW before it was dropped.

Paid Members FLips Posted February 2, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 2, 2021 I heard they pitched it to Vince by goose stepping around the room and Vince just walked out without saying a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 2, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 2, 2021 Good job they didn't go with that as we'd never have had the odd couple tag team of Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree with their incredible music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Doesn’t the story go that they wanted to sign Tanahashi after seeing some Kings of the Hills matches but signed Suzuki by mistake Edited February 2, 2021 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
