10 Original Failed WWE Pushes You Completely Forgot About

10. The Headbangers - The Flying Nuns

Shotgun Saturday Night was much of what its title suggested - a blast by WWE right into its own face, paying no heed to the ramifications of pulling the trigger when such extreme measures were deemed necessary.

Vince McMahon was already in the process of borrowing liberally from ECW in the shifting tones and styles of promos and brawls brought forth by Stone Cold Steve Austin et al, but the New York nightclub locale was an added quirk never attempted before or since by a company typically fastidious in their production standards and output. The shows, lovingly, looked like sh*t. But the sort of sh*t you couldn't stop staring at.

Yellow ropes, before they were the preserve of NXT, were there as police tape to go with an aesthetic that looked like it was breaking laws, even if they were just around fire hazards and maximum occupancy. The Flying Nuns visiting a church before hitting the Mirage Nightclub for a bout with The Godwinns were an act so toothless they should have been illegal, even if really it was just an ecumenical matter.

They were one-and-done as the company did the opposite of the late night broadcast and erred on the side of caution.
