10 Ridiculous Wrestling Storylines You Won't Believe Were Pitched
4. David Flair Marries His Sister
Vince Russo isn't getting away lightly, because one of the worst ideas he had in WCW stunningly never saw the light of day. That's not because those in charge of the promotion's creative process cancelled it, they simply ran out of time, with the organisation being bought over by the McMahon family before they could implement an angle which would surely save the day. Of course, the latter part of that sentence is written very much tongue-in-cheek, something which cannot be said for the very serious, yet somehow completely comical, storyline involving Stacy Keibler, and both Ric Flair and his son, David. Dating behind the scenes, David and Stacy were put together on television, and they were set to marry as part of ongoing storylines. Somewhere along the line, the 'Nature Boy' would emerge and reveal just too late that Keibler was a lovechild of his from a previous affair, meaning David had just married his own sister. If that doesn't sound too wacky, another idea called for Ric or Russo himself (!?) to actually get Stacy pregnant. Quite how this was supposed to cause people to buy tickets and Pay-Per-Views is anyone's guess.
