Adam Rose on Monday Night Raw.

Chris Van Vliet recently interviewed Adam Rose about his impending retirement, who The Bunny was supposed to be and more. Here are the highlights:

Who The Bunny was supposed to be:

“We were in a meeting for two hours before Raw saying, ‘who is going to be The Bunny?’ And they couldn’t decide. I wanted (Justin) Gabriel to do it, because he’s my friend from when I was 15, he was 16 and his dad trained me and we’ve known each other our whole lives. Leading up to it they were like ‘Well, nobody knows him anymore, and they didn’t know if they were going to get the reaction they want.’ So then there was a suggestion that Vince McMahon do it and I was like ‘What’s the payoff? I don’t get it.’ And they were like ‘Well, we don’t know where to go so why not have a crazy billionaire do it?’…and then it was Hornswoggle. They just didn’t really know where to go.”

His plan of the Dark Bunny being a Donnie Darko-like act:

“That’s what I was pushing for. I am a huge Marilyn Manson fan, so I was actually pushing to go that route with my character with Marilyn Manson and make The Bunny a real dark and sinister character. I wanted him to be six foot five, 350 lbs and we’d just ignore everything.”

Who he wants his last opponent to be:

“There are a couple of guys that are just friends of mine, that I’d like to do the last one with. Bull Dempsey is one of them, Justin is a good friend of mine since I was 15, we’ve traveled this journey together. So either him or Bull.”

this is what the Justin Gabriel Dark Bunny was supposed to be



instead they went with this and dropped it weeks later

When all else fails... give it to Hornswoggle. That wouldn't have worked lol, for the obvious anatomical reasons lol.

Justin Gabriel though I remember hearing about.

yeah, hadn't heard of the Vince thing, they make it sound stupid, but a millionaire partying all the time in disguise and the reveal that Vince is actually a furry. I think it would had been ok

When you put it that way , yeah sure why not. I actually would have probably almost died when I saw him unmask to be Vince McMahon.

Gabriel as the bunny could have actually worked. It could have given Gabriel a new platform to work on.

Or like Rose says having some 6 ft 5 350lb monster would have actually done wonders for him, because it would be a serious take on an odd once comedic angle, could have generated a great heel turn.
