10 Ridiculous Wrestling Storylines You Won't Believe Were Pitched

5. Disco Inferno Pitches Alien Angle

As aforementioned, Vince Russo left the WWF in 1999, but not long after World Championship Wrestling had been run into the ground by 2001, the man received another shot with the renamed WWE in 2002. Russo was left out in the cold after he proposed a reboot of the WCW Invasion angle, this time using bigger stars such as Goldberg, Scott Steiner and Bret Hart, and WWE's creative unit were left baffled. Sadly for the guy, years earlier he'd be the one left scratching his head during a WCW production meeting. One of Russo's good friends was Glenn Gilbertti, better known to wrestling fans as the ever-dancing Disco Inferno. Liked for his personality and considered a smart guy by Russo, Disco changed that when he pitched an angle to creative that had everybody wondering exactly what the man had been smoking before the meeting. Basically, the main idea Gilbertti had was that alien lifeforms would invade WCW, causing problems for everybody and even abducting several stars. This wasn't the first time Disco had mentioned the angle to Russo, but pitching it in front of others was an entirely different scenario. Apparently, announcer Mike Tenay would have been revealed as the mastermind behind the invasion, but Russo hated it. Why then Disco felt anyone else would like it is anyone's guess, but credit to him for trying something different, something very different.
