During a recent episode of Bruce Prichard’s “Something To Wrestle With” podcast, he revealed that WWE creative (particularly Vince Russo) wanted to make the Test, who is unfortunately no longer with us, a part of the legendary D-Generation X faction.

Here’s what Prichard had to say:

“So [Vince Russo] envisioned Test being a part of DX early on. Hunter hated it, Shawn hated it, everybody hated it and Russo made the comment that ‘[Test] is as big as Kevin Nash but he’s younger and he’ll be better’ and that of course set Shawn and Hunter off. ‘He’s no Kevin Nash’ and then on top of that and again, we don’t know this from a talent relations side, this is when I was really just doing talent relations, getting in new talent. From my vantage point, I wanted Test in developmental so he could go out and learn and get better because he was a big guy and had a lot of potential. He wasn’t ready for prime time by any stretch of the imagination. I didn’t realize Russo already had this idea for him and had already approached people about it. I was like: ‘he can’t go man he’s not ready, he’s not seasoned, he’s just not ready yet.

So he’s at TV, he being Test and I guess Hunter and Shawn were talking to him and found out he had only had like five matches in front of people at that time. So five matches and Russo wants to make him a part of DX, he wasn’t ready. So that’s a little back story on Test. We did think that he had potential, we did think that there was a big upside to him, but he kinda was missing ‘it’ throughout his career. He never got really to that next level. Hunter did not want to work with him, Shawn didn’t wanna work with him, cause that was the beginning of his career right there.”
