Most wrestling fans have heard by now that Goldust once pitched getting a literal pair of breast implants to shock the world. Vince McMahon turned that down, but he was apparently more receptive to the thought of his valet Marlena having a prosthetic penis.

Where's Austin with that "What?" when you need him?

On 'Grilling JR', Jim Ross disclosed details of a serious creative conversation that took place. In it, Vince, Ross and other creative minds played around with the idea of Marlena having a fake d*ck that'd be visible through her dress. Announcers wouldn't mention it, and the prosthetic would become something of a mystery.

The Attitude era, folks. A time when male wrestlers begged to get fake boobs and the decision-makers pondered giving gorgeous women a fake penis that'd make everyone uncomfortable. JR admits the idea was scrapped quickly and didn't make it out of the meeting.
