Item History:
-Epico recalls Vince McMahon pitching him & Primo a [Scrapped] Puerto Rican Playboys gimmick: "You guys are good-looking. You're Puerto Rican, I want you guys to dress like Hugh Hefner!"
Speaking on That's 90s Wrestling Podcast Epico Colon recalled being pitched the idea of becoming Puerto Rican Playboys and dressing like Playboy magazine magnate Hugh Hefner by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon himself:
"One of the many times we got heat, they came up with this gimmick. We were supposed to be the Puerto Rican Playboys. We're in the office and Vince goes, 'Yeah you guys are good-looking. You're Puerto Rican, I want you guys to dress like Hugh Hefner.' It was like a mix of Hugh Hefner and Goldust. 'You're gonna wear black and gold.'
"Me and Primo looked, we almost threw up right there. 'Here's your gimmick,' they had gear and everything. We had the black and gold robe like Hugh Hefner. And we were gonna be in Goldust's color scheme. 'Oh god please."
"We were about to debut and then two hours before we were supposed to debut with that gimmick Vince goes, 'Ah, it might be too much for TV. Playboys, what is that?' And that was his idea. So then we get called into the office he goes, 'Yeah I want you guys to sell me Puerto Rico. Just yeah, sell it to me. Sell me attention.' And I'm like, 'we'll do whatever you want other than Puerto Rican Playboys."
