10 Crazy Proposed WWE Gimmicks We Never Got

[@elevatedtommypickles1740]

Spaceman Holly? Never clicked so fast

[@akshay_9146]

Seeing Bob Holly in a spaceman suit gave me The Astronaut Farmer vibes.

[@Greggers1601]

I love the fact that we've learned Vince McMahon draws the line at frozen Nazi soldier but thinks an incest storyline is ok.

[@supersasukemaniac]

Between the two though, he picked the lesser of two evils, in some cultures, hell even some religions, there's nothing wrong with incest. Their is always something fucked up about Nazism.

[@johnnyphesto1247]

supersasukemaniac a lot of Asian cultures see Nazi imagery as a sign of strength. The first NJPW Dominion show even had a Nazi themed poster.

[@supersasukemaniac]

@@johnnyphesto1247 you mean the Swastika? It was originally a Buddhist symbol i think called the Lotus. And in Asian cultures, where Buddhism is one of the core religions, it holds a different meaning entirely. In the case of Buddhism it's the foot prints of the Buddha.

[@supersasukemaniac]

@@Spoeism no i said that the incest angle was the lesser of two evils. maybe learn some basic reading comprehension.

[@johnnyphesto1247]

supersasukemaniac I know about the swastika’s origins, and that’s not what I’m talking about lol. I mean full in with the symbolism. SS runes, German eagle, iron cross etc.

[@duogemstone]

Lies all lies Shawn did not launch Marty though the window, Marty tried to dive out the window to escape

[@vstevanovic187]

WILL YOU STOP?!

[@michaelsimcock1984]

We all saw what happened that night

[@ROWDYMAMBA]

"I knew he was gonna do that I knew it he don't need jennety did you see that jennety" boy ole grillia was getting into it he definitely was a lot better then jack Tunney when vence was just a B+ announcer

[@jacksterling9258]

One of the things I love about the Heidenreich idea: His manager was supposed to be Paul Heyman. Y'know...the Jewish guy

[@Whogrl16]

Also heymans mother was a holocaust survivor

[@RandoChrisYT]

"This is one small step for man...one big Alabama Slam for Mankind! HOW DO YA LIKE ME NOW?!"

[@AusElixir]

Honestly, if I heard that on commentary for the first time, I would absolutely laugh

[@2107Owen]

Missed opportunity: Foley/Astronaut Bob Holly feud.

[@Mark_of_Tread]

Sorry hate to be that guy but you got the Shawn Michaels thing wrong, clearly Marty was being a coward and trying to jump out the window.

[@Whogrl16]

Will you stop

[@Abderian]

Who knew WWE concept art is all JoJo characters

[@JohnnySHOTGUN-08]

Bizarre

[@getpumped87]

"Bob, I think you should be rebranded as an astronaut" "DO YA!?!?!"

[@Ezoogie]

YA LITTLE SHIT

[@thearkangel579]

I GOT AN IDEAL

[@dangagnon946]

It’s sad we will never see that Cody gimmick sounds nice af

[@Spermwhales93]

Dan Gagnon to be fair he basically lives it now lol

[@timgreenwald1043]

Calgary is literally the Canadian capital of dressing up like cowboys. They have a yearly event dedicated to it.

[@PrezNev]

That honestly explains a lot for me.

[@chrisdavis6733]

“Houston, we have a problem” “DO YA?”

[@bluffmuzik6865]

the billie eillish bad guy reference made me think has wrestling youtube made a video where we reimagine todays superstars entrances with known songs for example razor coming out to bad guy by billie. terrible choice but that's just an example to get my point across lol

[@bluffmuzik6865]

John Volken what does that have to do with anything? Lol Billie actually did a theme for takeover a few years ago “see me ina crown” so it wouldn’t surprise me if he did know

[@dankicks]

I remember Jim Neidhart talking about the the Cowboy Bret Hart idea and was horrified at it despite Jims best storytelling efforts 😂

[@irrsinnrainer]

Damn, that Heidenreich thing is something else... Jesus...

[@Sh0tgunJust1ce]

It's even more bizarre when you consider Paul Heyman, a Jew, was still meant to be Heidenreich's manager. It's like a Madlib gone horribly wrong.

[@muhammadsmith5792]

Jesus isn't a curse word

[@thelinedrive]

Won’t lie, Hardcore Holly has the Astronaut look down. Too bad taking off a suit takes forever.

[@kevinW826]

thelinedrive there were a couple wrestlers in njpw who wore modified space suits to the ring. It took them a couple minutes to get out of the costume. They also had helmets that barely fit between the ropes.

[@TheForeverRanger]

No offense to the Rated-R gimmick but the best version of Edge was his shtick with Christian.

[@alexandersilady4751]

I've heard that not only was Heidenreich supposed to be an unfrozen Nazi, Kenzo Suzuki was supposed to be his tag team partner under the name Hirohito... as in the mystical reincarnation of the former Japanese emperor.

[@3ngag3]

Bret Hart: I ain't into this Cowboy Sh*t Hangman Page: U WOT MATE?

[@mspacely6521]

Just in time for lunch! Cultaholic > all other youtube channels.

[@fhb3]

3:25 Why can't some of the KZbin Wrestling community get it right? In the ultimate act of cowardice, Marty Jannetty dived through the Barber Shop window!

[@violetsouls96]

Does anyone else think Razor Ramone's concept art looks like a JoJo's character?

[@JohnWilliams-wl9px]

Violet Nat Rose totally

[@ShawnSandiego]

They ALL do 😂

[@WilasTyrell]

The editing cracked me up. Farfetch hahaha

[@MrRyan-wu4jx]

Michaels didn’t “fall for Sensational Sherri” the whole idea of the act was that Sherri was smitten with him but Michaels couldn’t care less and just used her to help interfere in matches.

[@bustercaller]

WHO allowed John Cena to be the Invisible Man and not Batista?

[@pharoah418]

I think I'd have rather had Shane Douglas as Bon Jovi than Dean Douglas.

[@ryanbayley8386]

That Billie Eilish picture killed me!

[@jaycerrito3142]

Same here

[@michaeljay3044]

Time stamp

[@GregoryWeagle]

Ironically, Glen's gimmick before Issac Yankem, DDS was...umm...literally supposed to be the Unabomber (Smoky Mountain Wrestling). Yeah, I'll take the dentist gimmick, thank you very much.

[@freakfoxvevo7915]

We need another Gimmick Battle Royale with all the Rejected gimmicks in wrestling.

[@beavercleavage3593]

The guy who came up for that idea for hardcore holly should of been put in a rocket and sent into space nice to see nothing has changed in WWE creative still giving us crap to this day

[@andrewsd.r.7180]

Glad to see that Court is doing better (he Owns MLW and MLW is really good)

[@sirprintalot]

I clicked on this for the Hardcore Holly astronaut thumbnail. I did not leave disappointed.

[@agentzero6227]

Fun fact:Heidenreich told me he wrote all the poetry himself.

[@agentzero6227]

@@blueweegie6541 who do I believe here, my FB friend Jon Heidenreich, or a mark like you?

[@GoldenLeaves13]

i cannot stress enough how much I never want to hear Adam Pacitti say "M'lady" ever again

[@zubrhero5270]

10:13 are you SURE that this was supposed to be mafia? Dude looks like a camp Moonwalker extra, who is well on their way to having too many botched plastic surgeries. I mean, sure, he still looks like he could have a catchphrase like "eh, chico!"... just probably with an exaggerated wink and blown kiss.

[@cybervenom2001]

More of this video please!!!

[@FloridaManRacer]

I've actually had a lot of discussions with Bob Holly about his former driving days on twitter (before my account got suspended lol) He restored a jeep a couple years ago and I helped him source some parts for it. As much as people have shit on that guy over the years for different things, he was always VERY nice to chat with... Bob's a good dude.

[@FloridaManRacer]

@matt fahringer and? what am i supposed to go out of my way to prove myself to some internet douche who can't even take the time to make a profile pic on their you tube account?

[@JagerLange]

On a what-if-maybe theme, any chance of a video (or better still a roundtable) going over some of the weird shit in that (in)famous Angelfire list of wrestling rumours/legends?

[@jacksonstarship6179]

WHOLE THING SUCKED!!!

[@angusfoster-fulton609]

Razor could have been a JoJo's character, why did this not happen?

[@marcsenase]

If that cody's iron man esque gimmick worked,we may never have AEW

[@littleblackcat2273]

What about "Eggman", the original gimmick that was touted for Mark Calloway? (Fortunately they went with "The Undertaker" instead).

[@Shane16784]

.........That guy who suggested the Astronaut one......should be fired from the whole company. Just no.

[@MegaDodo88]

SMH didn't even mention the best part about Heidenreich the frozen Nazi, the fact that he was going to be managed by Paul Heyman who happens to be Jewish.

[@GriffinNoel1]

Had they made Bob Holly a spaceman you know what would happened... some poor jobber would have laughed and Holly would have killed him

[@hankbiggs5784]

Bruh. Razor ramon was going to be a jojo

[@jacobmiller6289]

Wait is the cowboy thing why the sharpshooter was named the sharpshooter?

[@stanleyteriaca2184]

Humm....I see where 80's Wrestling Mania got the idea for the Moon Man (later Beer Can Man), an astronaut/wrestler.

[@FranchiseSHR]

Goldust, son of a son of a....plumber. Douglas before spuing venomous profanity

[@daleholbert3111]

Vince liked chaps in chaps

With all due respect, this is a top 10 of 'shit we read in the observer'. There are a lot of half truths here.

[@THE1ANDONLYCUBIX]

Call me crazy but I think Spaceman Holly could’ve worked.

[@adambrotherton9930]

Put him against Max Moon at WrestleMania, with the guest ref, Max's daughter, Ember Moon

[@MirkoBalda]

[@crazyli]

What is with the obsession of making Canadians into Cowboys...? Chris Jericho had that gimmick shoved in his face too.

[@Millwall77]

As well as The Goon.

[@elboti7520]

Steve Austin as frosty mchill

[@nickystyles868]

Look I dont mean to troll, but the three qualities that lead Bret Hart to the top of the WWF/E mountain were Hulk Hogan departing, the steroid trial fiasco and VKM´s decision, somewhat forced upon him, to move away from "bigger" men.

[@mr.x9566]

I will never forgive Ricky Morton for breaking up The Rockers.

[@DJDub88]

Awesome video! I genuinely love actually learning something new after 31 years of being a die hard wrestling fan, unlike so many of the repetitive themes of lists out there. It would be great if WWE released a book through their DK publisher of concept art for their 90s characters, or earlier/later if they did them in the 80s or post millennium, but the few I've seen are always new generation era
