The fake Kane is still an epic example of "looks good on paper" like some fanfiction. Then the imposter walks out, with the funhouse mannerisms and wig.
I'm gonna choose to believe that Goldust was behind every unfinished storyline. Goldust did gtv. Goldust still remembers. Goldust drove the hummer. Goldust turned off the cameras on lugers speech. Goldust blew up the limo. Goldust attacked kenta. Etc
GTV - Goldust Booker Note - Written by Goldust Hummer - Driven by Goldust Lex's Speech - About Goldust McMahon Limo - Secretly saved by Goldust Shane's Lockbox - Ring Gear signed by Goldust Bella Fight - They were really fighting over Goldust Who attacked Itami - Goldust Fake Kane - Goldust was behind it Who attacked Edge? - Goldust Nash/Bret - Goldust was going to attack them during the match ICP/Raven - Goldust was the secret leader WWF/NWO - Goldust was the secret leader Baby Doll Envelope - Goldust is Dusty's son Million Dollar Mania - Goldust messed with the phone numbers
@@LarsOfTheMohicansNah, Benoit did it. Years of wrestling concussed did that to him. Wrestling didn't have concussion protocols back then, and it sadly led to that tragedy.
@@LarsOfTheMohicans Do you have any evidence Vince mcmahon was involved? no you don't this generation just says whatever things and doesn't show any evidence that what they are saying is truth just like you.
Here’s one I always remember. That one Smackdown episode in 2008 where the TV randomly got taken over by Hade Vansen talking in an alleyway about darkness. Supposedly, he was going to feud with Undertaker, but they only ever aired one promo, and that was it.
Vince saw him after that promo, said "Wait, he's too short" and released him It's not uncommon for Vince to fire people once they see them backstage, it ALMOST happened with John Cena, Rey Mysterio and Mick Foley, but usually guys like Jim Ross, Pat Patterson or Johnny Ace usually convinced him not to. They probably didn't manage to convince Vince to let Vade Hansen stay
Here is one hardly anyone ever talks about anymore: How about the non-explanation of "Who rose the briefcase higher whenever 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin attempted to grab it?" This was during the handicap ladder match at _King of the Ring_ 1999, featuring the aforementioned 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin vs. Vince McMahon & Shane McMahon, along with the added stipulation of whoever snags said briefcase wins control of the company. Vince & Shane won, splitting their share equally at 50% stakes each in the WWF. This came after Vince was revealed as the 'Higher Power' of the 'Corporate Ministry' and then subsequently Linda & Stephanie immediately interrupted the segment to tell Vince & Shane that they had handed over their equal 25% shares each to Austin, who now had 50% to himself, thus placing him in charge since Vince & Shane each also only had 25% respective stakes in the company, according to kayfabe storyline of course.
One I always think of when I think of “unresolved angles” is the in the dying days of WCW, Ric Flair had a faction called the “Magnificent Seven” consisting of him, Rick Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, Road Warrior Animal, Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell and WCW Champion Scott Steiner. Flair was the on screen president (again) and after running off Nash, Goldberg and DDP, someone started taking them out one by one backstage. WCW got sold before a resolution could be reached so no one knows who took them out. I always wonder who they had in mind for it
The irony of someone who played a fake Diesel being attacked and replaced by a fake Kane was probably not lost on Vince and is probably the type of thing he wanted to do just to rib Glen Jacobs, lol.
Hade Vansen's cryptic vignette on The Undertaker is one of my favourite unresolved wrestling angles, if I remember right it was supposed to include The Undertaker and Wrestling Mutants
Eddie Guerrero vs. Shawn Michaels Chris Benoit as ECW World Champion Blue Blazer as Intercontinental Champion Marlena turning on Goldust to join Brian Pillman
The Nexus attacking the Undertaker at Bragging Rights 2010. For those who don't remember: During the buried alive world title match between Kane and Undertaker, Nexus came out and cost Undertaker the match burying him and aiding Kane. At the time it was speculated that this would lead to a Wade Barrett vs. Undertaker program at WrestleMania, but that never ended up coming to pass and Undertaker returned to feud with Triple H and the original Nexus having disbanded before then.
It was never fully explained and the whole storyline was dropped. What a weird time to be a TNA fan. Nobody knows who attacked Samoa Joe with these ninjas mask. It’s a good thing it’s not Retribution before WWE’s failure of that faction.
Here’s some abandoned storylines I can think of so far: * The Kat joined Right to Censor * CM Punk quits WWE after Royal Rumble 2014 * The Whole Enzo Amore/Neville/Rich Swann situation with Cruiserweight belt. * The Meta Powers * The Undisputed Era attacks the Elite that never lead to a dream match in AEW. * Stone Cold vs Jonathan Coachman at Taboo Tuesday 2005 * Generation Me aka The Young Bucks breaking up in TNA.
Something else to consider about the 'Million Dollar Mania' set collapsing. It happened just weeks after the scaffolding for the stage and lighting rig of the TNA Slammiversary set legitimately collapsed, and killed one of the workers who was taking it down. WWE had even acknowledged the TNA incident on the corporate news section of their website just after it had happened. TNA meanwhile had PLENTY of storylines just abandoned completely. Samoa Joe being kidnapped by ninjas and thrown into a van is one. Although I think my favourite has to be when after a match with Scott Steiner where they wound up fighting outside the arena, Samoa Joe returned with dirt all over him and a bloody machete, and told the frightened backstage interviewer who was pleading to know what happened to Scott Steiner, to let the Main Event Mafia know that "Joe is going to kill them too". Naturally fans immediately updated Scott Steiner's Wikipedia page to declare him dead. But we never got an explanation of what happened when he showed up the next week on IMPACT. My theory is that there's an unaired backstage segment of Papa Shango performing a voodoo ceremony to bring Steiner back from the dead.
Brock Lesnar guy actually asked Edge who it was supposed to be who attacked him, Edge replied “ I don’t know man, they never got that far they just needed to get me off tv due to injury and they just forgot about it unfortunately”
It was a blessing in disguise. We would be spared having to watch Team Angle vs Edge, Chris Benoit, and a third wheel. Personally I think the third wheel should've died and not Chris Benoit.
Can I just remark on the production detail and cleanliness of your vids are exceptional for a self made channel, I'm over in ulster this week btw, beautiful country.
Test did somewhat get revenge years later when he was a part of T&A. It's the RAW where he says that Stephs a bitch. This was when Foley was commissioner. I don't remember when but I've seen it on TH-cam.
@@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090it's very difficult to transition a wrestler in any way after that, the people are going to always think he's a chump. They didn't care.
THE WHITE HUMMER?!?!?! LOL!!!! @4:23 they did resolve the hummer angle. on nitro, mean gene was interviewing savage. gene asked "i heard you know who was driving the hummer. who is it?" savage responded "it doesnt matter who was driving the hummer. Im here to do....." totally dismissing the angle. you can see gene's face like "WTF".
The one that always stood out to me was in very early TNA when Ryan Shamrock aka Aleesha came out and started collecting payments from wrestlers implying they owed her money for something and then she just disappeared
Cool video! A few things about some of these: 1.WWE magazine once implied that Edge was attacked by the FBI in 2003. I don't know if that was the plan or not. Just thought it was interesting. 2.The Fake Kane story reminds me of the original plan for Ben Reily as Spider-Man lol 3.I think it's the Days Of Thunder podcast said that Bischoff said somewhere(possibly 83 Weeks) that the driver of the white Hummer was supposed to be Carmen Electra. I'm guessing they just couldn't get her and just didn't know how to finish
It reminds me of marvel wanting ben reily to replace peter parker, not the first or last time marvel try to replace the one and true spiderman with an OC donut steel poochie....
For your follow-up, there was one example that sticks in my mind. When Eddie Guerrero was still trying to find his footing as a member of the WWE, they teamed him up with the Hardy Boyz as a type of faction. They started an angle where Eddie was able to win a match (I forget against whom), and he falsely believed that he won the match due to interference from Lita. Lita did come out, but she stopped at the entranceway because she saw that Eddie's opponent had fumbled a move and thus Eddie had the match won. The look on Eddie's face implied that he thought that Lita had romantic feelings for him, which would surely cause a rift for the group as Lita was Matt Hardy's girlfriend in storyline and in real life (this was before the Edge stuff came to light). To my knowledge, Eddie got injured again, and the Hardy's continued on as if nothing happened and Eddie's partnership with the group was never brought up afterward.
That's one storyline I asked myself too what was supposed to happen I been watching raw and smackdown from 2001 and the last time Eddie was on TV was on smackdown June 2001 Albert Press slam Eddie over the tope robe and injured him and on raw the following week Jim Ross said that Eddie Guerrero was going to be gone for a few weeks but in reality he got fired in November that Year
I got behind a while back on reliving the war with life getting hectic, but I love all of these "one off" videos you have been doing. Great channel, love all the content.
How did John Cena come back from when The Fiend made him disappear? Where did Wobbly Walrus go? Who was Sister Abigail? But really...I'm sure there's tons of elements from the Firefly Funhouse or Bray Wyatt in general that are still ambiguous.
at the very least, whatever's going on with Uncle Howdy does look like it's gonna get addressed with his stable being teased and the payoff coming soon.
Ah yes, Krissy Vaine Sign Work developmental (DSW then FCW) Attack Torrie Leave with your boyfriend From what she said in her old podcast on Diva Dirt, both of them had issues while there.
I would definitely say that the greatest unsolved mystery / unresolved storyline was that of Yomamba - the Jungle Savage! We never did get any closure on that!
Dropped storyline suggestion: Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake as the masked man who randomly attacked heel wrestlers in 1991, such as 'Earthquake', while the former of course was recovering from facial reconstruction surgery due to a July 4th, 1990 parasailing accident, which involved a woman's knees shattering his face beyond recognition during liftoff from the water.
OOOOH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE "K"AT. God, everytime I saw comments talking about "Cat" I always wondered "How the hell did Ernest Miller join RTC? Why is nobody talking about that?" Lmao
I always wondered where Mr Kennedy would have been if he hadnt got suspended and been Mr McMahon's son. Also i wonder where Batista's storyline with Mark Henry and Melina would have gone if Batista didnt get hurt. Also Muhammad Hassan if the terrorist angle hadnt happened
Where Mr. Kennedy goes, we can somewhat accurately imagine how the WrestleMania build would've looked cos Orton got the spot a year later. I don't suspect too much would've changed there, he'd have gone on a tear through the McMahon family & got beat by Triple H at Mania. It was said at the time the angle's primary intention was to bring Triple H & Stephanie's real life marriage into canon. It was all about Triple H basically lol
While not exactly a "storyline", or at least one that actually got started, Hade Vansen is another good example. According to Freddie Prinze Jr. the idea was to potentially debut Hade in a storyline with Undertaker where he'd eventually be revealed as Taker's son, but after that one pre-taped promo he appeared in Vansen was never seen again, apparently because Triple H poked fun at how Vansen looked, which in turn made Vince laugh & resulted in Vansen never being seen again.
“The Zodiac Killer was a serial murderer who terrorized the San Francisco area, sending cryptic ciphers to police. People have speculated that it was Goldust…”
With the Booker T note back then i thought it was gonna be a lead up to Big Poppa Pump Scott Stiener vs Booker T to conclude that rivalary but of course WWE blew that and also we all know how Scott Stieners run went, still its cool looking back at these kind of things big props to Wrestling Bios
I had my own hummer attack around the same time as the Dubya Cee Dubya hummer-bummer incident. Mine made sense, she made dollars and we both walked away happy!
The one I always remember is that when Punk defended his championship vs Ryback, The Shield often intervened. At one point it was revealed or at least said that Punk was hiring The Shield to stay Champ. Sadly it never got revealed what really happened with Punk quiting
There's one from 2016, after the draft a storyline started where everytime Eva Marie had a match something would always happen that prevent her from wrestling. This would end up never getting a pay-off, as by mid August she would get suspended after violating the wellness policy and was never used on tv again until her departure nearly a year later.
Wade Barret was suposed to fight the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 27. Apparently thats why the Nexus helped Kane beat him at Bragging Rights 2010. To set up that potential match. Of course, the Nexus was buried and it never panned out. But I still wonder how good a Nexus vs Taker storyline could have been.
The Torrie Wilson/Dawn Marie stepmommy/Daddy story felt like it went nowhere. It ended after they "killed" Torries Dad and just never really did anything for anyone except for Dawn and Torrie to make out for Stephanie several times.
The Bootyman’s grand plan to take down the Dungeon of Doom that required Hulk Hogan to team up with him on Nitro in April 96. Bootyman no showed without explanation and then Hogan won the handicap match anyway. WB made fun of this in his intro on that episode of RTW.
Seeing the nWo members show up in WWE wearing their colors, with Big Show and Xpac was so damn cool. Even cooler was Shawn being in there too and the storyline they were going for to recruit HHH was a good. I was hype for this, shame it ended how it did.
When Chris Jericho returned to WWE in 2012, he came to the ring a few times and didnt say a word, just jumped around. Did he ever end up addressing why he was doing this, I can't recall?
When NXT 2.0 was going on I remember when Chase U first added Duke Hudson to the group. The idea was that Duke was going to destroy them from the inside and the only one to notice this was Bodhi Hayward who then would challenge Duke in order to defend the honor of Chase U. However, this was dropped when Bodhi was released from his contract.
I think it also got dropped because fans actually enjoyed Duke Hudson as part of Chase U and they just ran with him being a true blue member after initial teases that he was in there for ulterior motives.
I always hated how ill fated every icp stable was. I thought they were entertaining every time. Vampiro in particular i always thought they should have pushed harder.
That Nash injury during the WWE NWO was still so sad yet amazing Earlier in the night he brags about getting the all clear and being healthy and just boom not even a hour later he's gone again.
dont even begin an angle/story until you know how it ends. i write short stories sometimes and the one thing i have to have before i even begin is knowing exactly where it ends. you can improvise anything else but you HAVE to end strong
I remember thinking the “I still remember” thing was Stevie Ray. I do remember hearing afterwards that it was supposed to be Goldust but I think he ended up going to TNA
The nWo didn't work out in the WWE for the same reason DX got watered down, they forgot what brought them to the dance, ....first of all there was no "nWo" faction until later, it was 1 outsider and then 2 and then you all know the rest, the whole reason the "nWo" worked because is because it felt real and it was about a hostile takeover, a war between two rival wrestling organizations. Now Vince claimed that he was bringing in "poison" to the company to kill it after Flair had co-ownership with him which he (McMahon) didn't want. However, he didn't let them poison the company, they were just like any other normal faction, there was nothing special about them, and of course as Hogan tells it, the fans turned on Hogan's heel push and turned him face during and after Mania 18 in 2002. It just didn't work because people knew it was another "wrestling story-line", now juxtapose that to 1996 when people wasn't really sure what was going on, you simply can't recreate that, and even then, the "story" wasn't done right, there was no takeover, no poison, just Hall/Nash/Hogan .....in another faction, yes they had the theme music and the attire but they weren't really "nWo" ....not in WWE at least. .....Where was the gang mentality, the beating up guys and spray painting them, hell even Nexus got more of a push then the nWo did, ....and WWE even managed to ruin that angle.
It also didn’t work because all these guys were still hugely popular as faces to the WWF audience anyway. The pop when Vince introduced them was massive. Then WMX8 happened
That AEW storyline in early 2020 Where tensions began forming within the Elite over Hangman Pages increasingly drunken behavior. They were teasing that Page was either gonna betray the group and go off on his own or convince his tag partner Kenny Omega to split with the Young bucks and join him. However as a result of the Pandemic, the storyline was resolved anticlimactically.
Wait, wasn't there a payoff to the GTV storyline? When Chaz (Headbanger Mosh) had the angle where he was accused of beating his girlfriend, Thrasher (Glen Ruth) returned to show some GTV footage of Marianna (Chaz's girlfriend) putting on makeup to look like she was abused. It led to the Headbangers reunion that went a bit into 2000. Well, maybe it's not a "payoff" for GTV, but at least it led to...something.
I can handle the lack of closure on Million Dollar Mania by assuming/pretending the set falling down was a harsh metaphor for the segment being such a wreck lol
19:05 I say the same thing about Paul London's firing as I was told he got fired for smiling, but he was still on TV almost a year after Vince's limo explosion
"Fake Kane" is an actual wrestling what ifs I would have loved seen played out like rumored. As it would have reconed everything that demystifed Kane over the years. He would have been burnt again, The Tori/X-Pac angle, his werid face turns, The Kanetites, and Katie Vick (which you could just say was in Glen Jacobs past)
The only way Fake Kane was ever going to work was if Fake Kane was the same size or bigger than Kane. A huge reason why we took Kane seriously back in the day was how he stacked up physically with Taker... Gallows is a big guy but he's not Kane big. I struggle to come up with a good candidate though... was Matt Morgan in the biz yet?
That hummer storyline in wcw was a weird one we all assumed it was sid driving it but they never explained or even cared enough to go through with it more that storyline always bothered me because it was obvious they did have some kind of plan with it.
Bischoff has said on his 83 weeks podcast that they hadn't worked out who was driving it and hoped that a logical conclusion would eventually emerge, but as we know it never did. This was during wcw's downward turn where they'd run out of anything creative so we're just throwing out any plot lines with no through line nor any thought as to how the stories would unfold each week. Then it got even worse under Russo
Bischoff: if you're not happy, there's the door
Raven: ok
The fake Kane is still an epic example of "looks good on paper" like some fanfiction. Then the imposter walks out, with the funhouse mannerisms and wig.
If fake Kane was anywhere near as imposing the thing would have been better. I just remember how small the fake looked compared to the real one
Lmao he looked absolutely terrible. Worse than a cosplayer.
Plus they did the same exact thing with the Undertaker a decade prior and it was just as stupid.
@@jackcarraway4707They were at least similar size, Luke Gallow who was fake kane was nowhere near Kanes size
@@jackcarraway4707the fake undertaker was pretty similar in looks and mannerisms. the entrance ceremony was also pretty funny tbh
“I still remember.” Has to be my favorite cut storyline. It just come out of nowhere and nobody ever discuss it the following week.

"I still remember"
"he didn't just say that..."
"Okay Booker, no problem."

I still remember as well. That promo Harlem Heat cut on Hogan😂😂 Booker just let that slide so naturally & Stevie just stood there😂

@@tylercox1875 That was kinda resolved with his heel turn and Luna's return afterwards.

While hilarious, Goldust providing Baby Doll with the blackmail material on Dusty, his father, makes sense.

Oh man! Didn't think of that, hilarious
It'd be funny to have "The Real Kane" take his mask off and to show that it's actually Kevin Nash

Eddie Guerrero vs. Shawn Michaels
Chris Benoit as ECW World Champion
Blue Blazer as Intercontinental Champion
Marlena turning on Goldust to join Brian Pillman
That would be a 26 hour video

Kerwin white angle was dropped because Eddie Guerrero died
And yet they had Cody continue the Stardust gimmick after Dusty’s death.
@@PhenomsServant4 Cody has gone on record saying that it was what he needed at the time, distance from being a Rhodes. So spread that hate elsewhere
@@PhenomsServant4Kerwin White is a much, MUCH more offensive angle.
I don't care what anyone says, I loved that Kerwin White angle lol. That theme song...
Cool video! A few things about some of these:
1.WWE magazine once implied that Edge was attacked by the FBI in 2003. I don't know if that was the plan or not. Just thought it was interesting.
2.The Fake Kane story reminds me of the original plan for Ben Reily as Spider-Man lol
3.I think it's the Days Of Thunder podcast said that Bischoff said somewhere(possibly 83 Weeks) that the driver of the white Hummer was supposed to be Carmen Electra. I'm guessing they just couldn't get her and just didn't know how to finish
We lie!
We cheat!
We watch WrestlingBios!
While stealing!
And wheeling and dealing!
BOOYAKA BOOYAKA
@@yoholmes273and jet flying limousine ridin!
Y’all are corny
The Kane replacement reminds me of the real Seymour skinner 😂
Ditto.
It reminds me of marvel wanting ben reily to replace peter parker, not the first or last time marvel try to replace the one and true spiderman with an OC donut steel poochie....
For your follow-up, there was one example that sticks in my mind.
When Eddie Guerrero was still trying to find his footing as a member of the WWE, they teamed him up with the Hardy Boyz as a type of faction.
They started an angle where Eddie was able to win a match (I forget against whom), and he falsely believed that he won the match due to interference from Lita. Lita did come out, but she stopped at the entranceway because she saw that Eddie's opponent had fumbled a move and thus Eddie had the match won. The look on Eddie's face implied that he thought that Lita had romantic feelings for him, which would surely cause a rift for the group as Lita was Matt Hardy's girlfriend in storyline and in real life (this was before the Edge stuff came to light).
To my knowledge, Eddie got injured again, and the Hardy's continued on as if nothing happened and Eddie's partnership with the group was never brought up afterward.
That's one storyline I asked myself too what was supposed to happen I been watching raw and smackdown from 2001 and the last time Eddie was on TV was on smackdown June 2001 Albert Press slam Eddie over the tope robe and injured him and on raw the following week Jim Ross said that Eddie Guerrero was going to be gone for a few weeks but in reality he got fired in November that Year
The Rollins Report only appeared once on the December 12, 2016 episode of Raw.
I got behind a while back on reliving the war with life getting hectic, but I love all of these "one off" videos you have been doing. Great channel, love all the content.
I love Vince's explanation for the exploding limo storyline. "I can't be on TV if I'm dead!" 🤣
It's a shame we never got Kane and Undertaker vs Fake Kane and Fake Undertaker lol
who do you think would have won?? WWE has enough predictable booking already.
How did John Cena come back from when The Fiend made him disappear?
Where did Wobbly Walrus go?
Who was Sister Abigail?
But really...I'm sure there's tons of elements from the Firefly Funhouse or Bray Wyatt in general that are still ambiguous.
at the very least, whatever's going on with Uncle Howdy does look like it's gonna get addressed with his stable being teased and the payoff coming soon.
I'm shocked that Samoa Joe being kidnapped by ninjas in TNA didn't come up. I feel like that's the most infamous example.
The white hummer drove itself, like Christine, knight rider or Brum.
We've seen some major swerves over the years, but Brum making a heel-turn would be the most outrageous one yet!
@@CrazyChiv they had that ted turner money
I remember that one Smackdown angle that Torrie Wilson got attacked by a twin version of her and that's about it.
Ah yes, Krissy Vaine
Sign
Work developmental (DSW then FCW)
Attack Torrie
Leave with your boyfriend
From what she said in her old podcast on Diva Dirt, both of them had issues while there.
@@NJ973201 Who is now her husband Kon in TNA better known as The Ascensions Konnor
I would definitely say that the greatest unsolved mystery / unresolved storyline was that of Yomamba - the Jungle Savage! We never did get any closure on that!
Dropped storyline suggestion: Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake as the masked man who randomly attacked heel wrestlers in 1991, such as 'Earthquake', while the former of course was recovering from facial reconstruction surgery due to a July 4th, 1990 parasailing accident, which involved a woman's knees shattering his face beyond recognition during liftoff from the water.
The Chaz beating up his wife episode ended abruptly I remember
Due to GTV!
It was his "mother." More of Shitstain's garbage TV.
The Cat got fired immediately after that RTC storyline
Which lead to Jerry Lawler quitting the WWF in protest.
OOOOH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE "K"AT. God, everytime I saw comments talking about "Cat" I always wondered "How the hell did Ernest Miller join RTC? Why is nobody talking about that?" Lmao
@thesfdoctor3603 the RTC got Miller to join by calling his momma.
I always wondered where Mr Kennedy would have been if he hadnt got suspended and been Mr McMahon's son. Also i wonder where Batista's storyline with Mark Henry and Melina would have gone if Batista didnt get hurt. Also Muhammad Hassan if the terrorist angle hadnt happened
KENNEDY
We do know about Hassan.
He was going to be booked to beat Taker for the strap.
He went from rocket ship to the moon straight to the bread line.
@@yoholmes273 but we don't know what would happen afterwards
I always liked Daivari, never saw that much in Hassan.
Where Mr. Kennedy goes, we can somewhat accurately imagine how the WrestleMania build would've looked cos Orton got the spot a year later. I don't suspect too much would've changed there, he'd have gone on a tear through the McMahon family & got beat by Triple H at Mania.
It was said at the time the angle's primary intention was to bring Triple H & Stephanie's real life marriage into canon. It was all about Triple H basically lol
WHO THREW THE PIE AT KEVIN OWENS?! 😤
IT WAS ME AUSTIN!
It was Sami Zayn
It was Rikishi "HE did it for da Rock, He did it fa da people" 😂😂😂😂😂
Goldust
Couldnt care less
While not exactly a "storyline", or at least one that actually got started, Hade Vansen is another good example. According to Freddie Prinze Jr. the idea was to potentially debut Hade in a storyline with Undertaker where he'd eventually be revealed as Taker's son, but after that one pre-taped promo he appeared in Vansen was never seen again, apparently because Triple H poked fun at how Vansen looked, which in turn made Vince laugh & resulted in Vansen never being seen again.
Another great vid @wrestlingbios keep them coming brudda
“The Zodiac Killer was a serial murderer who terrorized the San Francisco area, sending cryptic ciphers to police. People have speculated that it was Goldust…”
With the Booker T note back then i thought it was gonna be a lead up to Big Poppa Pump Scott Stiener vs Booker T to conclude that rivalary but of course WWE blew that and also we all know how Scott Stieners run went, still its cool looking back at these kind of things big props to Wrestling Bios
I had my own hummer attack around the same time as the Dubya Cee Dubya hummer-bummer incident. Mine made sense, she made dollars and we both walked away happy!
The one I always remember is that when Punk defended his championship vs Ryback, The Shield often intervened. At one point it was revealed or at least said that Punk was hiring The Shield to stay Champ.
Sadly it never got revealed what really happened with Punk quiting
Bray Wyatt vs. Bobby Lashley last year for obvious reasons
Great job mate on the video
This is the best channel related to wrestling
There's one from 2016, after the draft a storyline started where everytime Eva Marie had a match something would always happen that prevent her from wrestling. This would end up never getting a pay-off, as by mid August she would get suspended after violating the wellness policy and was never used on tv again until her departure nearly a year later.
I wanted to see the Kurt Angle/ Stephanie McMahon angle culminate with Kurt putting the cameltoe clutch on the billion dollar princess.
That cameltoe couldn’t clutch a 747 according to Hunter. 😏
There was an angle where Chyna took Lita under her wing or something like that. It never went forward because Chyna quit WWE.
It was the Kat wasn't it? She even started wearing a black wig and dressing like Chyna.
@@Deadpool_64 The Kat was gone by that time. Chyna and Lita angle happened in May 2001.
Wade Barret was suposed to fight the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 27. Apparently thats why the Nexus helped Kane beat him at Bragging Rights 2010. To set up that potential match. Of course, the Nexus was buried and it never panned out. But I still wonder how good a Nexus vs Taker storyline could have been.
The Torrie Wilson/Dawn Marie stepmommy/Daddy story felt like it went nowhere. It ended after they "killed" Torries Dad and just never really did anything for anyone except for Dawn and Torrie to make out for Stephanie several times.
The Bootyman’s grand plan to take down the Dungeon of Doom that required Hulk Hogan to team up with him on Nitro in April 96. Bootyman no showed without explanation and then Hogan won the handicap match anyway. WB made fun of this in his intro on that episode of RTW.
Backlund coming back to take Darren Young under his wing I don’t think went anywhere.
Seeing the nWo members show up in WWE wearing their colors, with Big Show and Xpac was so damn cool. Even cooler was Shawn being in there too and the storyline they were going for to recruit HHH was a good. I was hype for this, shame it ended how it did.
When Chris Jericho returned to WWE in 2012, he came to the ring a few times and didnt say a word, just jumped around. Did he ever end up addressing why he was doing this, I can't recall?
When NXT 2.0 was going on I remember when Chase U first added Duke Hudson to the group. The idea was that Duke was going to destroy them from the inside and the only one to notice this was Bodhi Hayward who then would challenge Duke in order to defend the honor of Chase U. However, this was dropped when Bodhi was released from his contract.
I think it also got dropped because fans actually enjoyed Duke Hudson as part of Chase U and they just ran with him being a true blue member after initial teases that he was in there for ulterior motives.
@@DasNordlicht91 Actually you might be right. I didn't think of that.
As a kid, probably 11 at the time, I deadass thought Mr. Mcmahon blew up. Lmao
The POD/Eddie Theme mashup at the end is everything and a bag of chips Sir Bios.
Is that a new intro I see? Maybe I missed a few vids but it looks great, especially with Eddie playing in the background
Big show v Chris masters. Master lock challenge. If I remember correct they tried it twice and dropped it both times.
I always hated how ill fated every icp stable was. I thought they were entertaining every time. Vampiro in particular i always thought they should have pushed harder.
great channel 👍🏼
Just want to say a massive thanks for this channel. I love these little specials and look forward every week for the bread and butter.
That Nash injury during the WWE NWO was still so sad yet amazing Earlier in the night he brags about getting the all clear and being healthy and just boom not even a hour later he's gone again.
I just remember one night Sting saying "I WASN'T DRIVING THE HUMMER!" 😆
dont even begin an angle/story until you know how it ends. i write short stories sometimes and the one thing i have to have before i even begin is knowing exactly where it ends. you can improvise anything else but you HAVE to end strong
I remember thinking the “I still remember” thing was Stevie Ray. I do remember hearing afterwards that it was supposed to be Goldust but I think he ended up going to TNA
The nWo didn't work out in the WWE for the same reason DX got watered down, they forgot what brought them to the dance, ....first of all there was no "nWo" faction until later, it was 1 outsider and then 2 and then you all know the rest, the whole reason the "nWo" worked because is because it felt real and it was about a hostile takeover, a war between two rival wrestling organizations.
Now Vince claimed that he was bringing in "poison" to the company to kill it after Flair had co-ownership with him which he (McMahon) didn't want. However, he didn't let them poison the company, they were just like any other normal faction, there was nothing special about them, and of course as Hogan tells it, the fans turned on Hogan's heel push and turned him face during and after Mania 18 in 2002. It just didn't work because people knew it was another "wrestling story-line", now juxtapose that to 1996 when people wasn't really sure what was going on, you simply can't recreate that, and even then, the "story" wasn't done right, there was no takeover, no poison, just Hall/Nash/Hogan .....in another faction, yes they had the theme music and the attire but they weren't really "nWo" ....not in WWE at least. .....Where was the gang mentality, the beating up guys and spray painting them, hell even Nexus got more of a push then the nWo did, ....and WWE even managed to ruin that angle.
It also didn’t work because all these guys were still hugely popular as faces to the WWF audience anyway. The pop when Vince introduced them was massive. Then WMX8 happened
It's "Kane that doesn't look like Kane but we'll call him Kane anyway"....
Oooo can you talk about the warrior / papa chango one? Thx for awesome vid!
That AEW storyline in early 2020 Where tensions began forming within the Elite over Hangman Pages increasingly drunken behavior. They were teasing that Page was either gonna betray the group and go off on his own or convince his tag partner Kenny Omega to split with the Young bucks and join him. However as a result of the Pandemic, the storyline was resolved anticlimactically.
Amazingly the video I watched just before this was the famous Bush/Gore “Lockbox” debate from SNL. 😂😂
Wait, wasn't there a payoff to the GTV storyline? When Chaz (Headbanger Mosh) had the angle where he was accused of beating his girlfriend, Thrasher (Glen Ruth) returned to show some GTV footage of Marianna (Chaz's girlfriend) putting on makeup to look like she was abused. It led to the Headbangers reunion that went a bit into 2000.
Well, maybe it's not a "payoff" for GTV, but at least it led to...something.
Yeah, it happened on a Sunday Night Heat episode then from what I remember, it was never brought up again and Marianna was released afterwards.
It wasn't a 6 man tag match where Nash tore his quad, it was a 10-man tag team match
I can handle the lack of closure on Million Dollar Mania by assuming/pretending the set falling down was a harsh metaphor for the segment being such a wreck lol
19:05 I say the same thing about Paul London's firing as I was told he got fired for smiling, but he was still on TV almost a year after Vince's limo explosion
"Fake Kane" is an actual wrestling what ifs I would have loved seen played out like rumored. As it would have reconed everything that demystifed Kane over the years. He would have been burnt again, The Tori/X-Pac angle, his werid face turns, The Kanetites, and Katie Vick (which you could just say was in Glen Jacobs past)
The only way Fake Kane was ever going to work was if Fake Kane was the same size or bigger than Kane. A huge reason why we took Kane seriously back in the day was how he stacked up physically with Taker... Gallows is a big guy but he's not Kane big. I struggle to come up with a good candidate though... was Matt Morgan in the biz yet?
and one with long hair so it'd look more convincing than that daft wig. Also it'd have helped if he didn't have a beer gut
That hummer storyline in wcw was a weird one we all assumed it was sid driving it but they never explained or even cared enough to go through with it more that storyline always bothered me because it was obvious they did have some kind of plan with it.
Bischoff has said on his 83 weeks podcast that they hadn't worked out who was driving it and hoped that a logical conclusion would eventually emerge, but as we know it never did. This was during wcw's downward turn where they'd run out of anything creative so we're just throwing out any plot lines with no through line nor any thought as to how the stories would unfold each week. Then it got even worse under Russo
People talk about long term storytelling but Shane McMahon and the lockbox is clearly the best example of it.
Serious question
At 11:07, how did they do that fireball angle?
