10 Bizarre WWE Scenes You Totally Don’t Remember
8. The Blonde Bytch Project
A parody for parody's sake in 1999, The Blue Meanie and Stevie Richards' Blair Witch Project pastiche ultimately fell on deaf ears before falling on none at all after being hooked from it's Sunday Night Heat spot within a week.
The concept saw Meanie and Richards a*sing about in the woods looking for the eponymous bytch (sic) Sable shortly before her acrimonious exit from the organisation ensured the angle wouldn't have a place beyond week one anyway. It also didn't help that their boss spent all his time behind the societal curve.
Despite its phenomenal success at the box office, Vince McMahon reportedly had no idea the motion picture even existed. Their assumption of his cultural understanding outside his wrestling bubble completely misplaced, the ECW escapees were too current for their own good with the on-the-nose homage, alienating McMahon and inner circle in the process. Bruce Prichard even recent tore into the idea during a brief run through the SmackDown pilot episode during a Something To Wrestle With... podcast.
Meanie and Richards never had a meaningful programme together in the aftermath. Like so many that shone under Paul Heyman's watchful eye, they were lost to the Sports Entertainment abyss when the Stamford call finally came.
