7. Ric Flair refuses to be Stacy Keibler's baby daddy - WCW 2000
Let’s move over to WCW, a place that could politely be described as the inmates running the asylum.
The company became famous for its wackier storylines in its later years, thanks in no small part to the acquisition of Vince Russo as head writer. One of his “masterpieces” was the mystery surrounding the father of Stacy Keibler’s baby. We were all led to believe it was David Flair, Stacy’s on-air squeeze at the time.
But, before you could say “swerve bro!”, the pregnancy was revealed to be fake. Was this the plan all along? Of course not! This was WCW in 2000!
One of the original ideas was to reveal David’s father Ric as Stacy’s baby daddy, but The Nature Boy refused to do the storyline as he considered it in bad taste.
But who was the other candidate? Vince Russo himself!
