Insane Vince McMahon ideas that got canceled - Watch Here!

WWE was very, very high on Dwayne Johnson, so much so they must have thought he could overcome this terrible 'gimmick' and costume. I mean, what is that even supposed to be? It doesn't even look vaguely Samoan. The fans chanted "Rocky Sucks" repeatedly even though Maivia was booked as a babyface.
