Does anyone have other thoughts on my Rip Van Winkle idea?

"Rip Van Winkle is the creator of the original sleeping curse, and he tries to make another one to put Regina to sleep, thinking that he is doing everyone a favor. Somehow this goes wrong and he has to redeem himself."

I like this one becasue Rip Van WInkle has already had a cameo (through the radio in "The Apprentice"), I think he would be an intersting character, and the idea of an accidental anti-hero is cool to me. I know he was in a deleted scene, but I would assume that since it was deleted it didn't actually happen. Also, if it's canon and Rumple put him to sleep before the first curse, when the first curse hit woulnd't he either wake up r possbiyl be in a coma in the hospital?
