FAILED CONCEPTS | Wrestling's Short Lived Ideas
WWE has thrown a lot of ideas at the wall over the years and, while some of these have succeeded in a big way, such as was the case with the first WrestleMania in 1985, the move towards an edgier product in the late 90’s, or going public at the turn of the millennium, not everything they’ve touched has turned to gold. No, on some occasions, these ideas haven’t managed to catch on, leading to some very notable, and sometimes costly, failures. But which of these ideas were the worst of all? Well, join us today as we take a deep dive into Failed Concepts: WWE’s Short-Lived Ideas.

I actually do remember a promo with Hulk Hogan and the war bonnet. He was talking about blasting through opponents, I believe is what he said. And the fuel tank? That was the source of his Hulkamania juice. He was going to drink from that in the middle of the match to refuel his Hulkamania, if you can believe that. So yeah, the war bonnet, the Hulkamania tank, the license plate...quite a long way to hide the bald spot.

The WCW relaunch was doomed from the get go. The match between Booker T and Buff Bagwell was in Seattle, WA, and WWF was scheduled to be in Atlanta, GA the following week. Atlanta was WCW's home base, so that match would have been much better received in Atlanta. The lack of WCW's top names (Sting, Goldberg, DDP, Hogan, Nash, Hall, Flair, etc. all sitting at home collecting their guaranteed contracts instead of working for WWF) joining WWE right after the purchase didn't help.

@benironside1264 Год назад

DDP revealed himself as Saras stalker in mid June 01 (there was also a few weeks build before this reveal) he gets buried by the undertaker (or Sara) and is on the card for WWF Invasion in July 01. Also it’s widely known that DDP was one of the few guys who took a buy out on their contract because he wanted a good run in WWF (which didn’t happen)

The WCW Relaunch was doomed from the get go. And rankings in wrestling aren't needed. Just write compelling storylines and have good characters.

@evrbody Год назад

Remember when TNA tried to do fan-voted power rankings? Desmond Wolfe kept getting the top ranking, and when they tried holding another vote, Wolfe won again. Obviously the Powers That Be didn't want him to win, so they gave the fans what they wanted and put Wolfe in a title match, in which he was promptly beaten in around four minutes.

I haven't watched weekly wrestling shows in several years so I don't know how bad Raw Underground really was but I don't think it was a terrible idea. 3 hour Raws without a live crowd during the pandemic needed something to help fill that time and give some energy so I can see what they were trying to do.

@numa2k147 Год назад

It was bad. Poorly executed

@Thor-Orion Год назад

Raw should never be 3 hours long!

@SaintPhoenixx Год назад

It would have been a cool idea if it was it's own show, completely separate from the rest of the company. Imagine once a week, getting an hour long show where you don't need to know any context or history, you can jump in at any point and it's just a more extreme, edgy show that gives jobbers and midcarders a platform to do crazy shit without needing to really do any promos or storytelling. Just have 5 matches between random members of the roster with big spots, backstage brawls, a more hard-core style and none of the big, larger than life theatrics. It would be pointless but fun and it'd give some underappreciated members of the roster something to do and to show their talents on.

@bryannicholls200 Год назад

Bob Holly was the only opponent that Bart didn't knock down or knock out in the Brawl for All it did however benefit his career by getting him out of the New Midnight Express and Bombastic Bob gimmick and into his most successful gimmick Hard-core Holly. Completely ruined Barts career though and he was the winner.

I would have expected a mention of the McMahon Million Dollar Giveaway or how it was called... which for international audiences watching replays felt even more of a waste of time during the show. As for the rankings, they sound like a cool idea in theory, but in practice they are a mess to incorporate in the storylines: it wasn't just Vince hectic booking, also in AEW they are only used when convenient and otherwise other means to select a #1 contender are picked to make the storylines progress.

@ZDiddy7777 Год назад

AEW uses the rankings for the most part, all the shit talking srems from the tag division when they were trying to keep the Bucks and FTR apart but couldnt beat either one. Thats really been the only time the rankings have been ignored

The thing is WWE VR isn't a horrible idea but it should be put on the shelf for now until VR becomes a bit more popular and the technology better and cheaper.

Only possible people that could possibly win a modern day brawl for all in my opinion are as followed; Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, And Gable Steveson. I’m not too certain who could legitimately win a tournament such as that due to the information we have about CTE and brain injuries so it’s just a better idea to stay faaaaaaaar away from anything such as a “shoot fight” tournament.
