10 More Wrestling Gimmicks So Bad They Didn’t Even Make It To TV

10. Scott Hall: G. I. Joe

The late great Scott Hall had one of the best WWE gimmicks of all time with Razor Ramon.

A smooth-talking, toothpick-flicking, vest-wearing Cuban (even though Hall himself was about as Cuban as King Charles III), Ramon won multiple championships during his time with WWE and became a firm fan favourite.

However, things were almost very different for Hall. Different and in camouflage.

According to Diamond Dallas Page, a close friend of Hall's, the original idea for Scott's WWE character was for him to play a rip-off of popular army action figure G.I. Joe

Speaking on SK Wrestling's Bro Show, DDP said, "Vince [McMahon] told him he wanted him to be a G.I. Joe character. That was Vince’s idea."

Well, doesn't that make all the sense in the world.

Hall grew up on various military bases, so he had some connection to the proposed gimmick, but did WWE really need another link to G.I. Joe when they had Sgt. Slaughter right there?

Scott probably could have made this idea work, but we're glad he didn't have to. Imagine a soldier bringing a toothpick to a gunfight. That would be muy malo, chico.
