Rumor Has It: Vince's Hobo Army
Posted: Aug 8th, '13, 22:15
Remember waaaaaay back... the exploding limo... Vince McMahon inside said limo.... where WERE they going with that? Possibly the second worst thing about that Chris Benoit thing is that we never got to find out. Rumor has it... one possible outcome, if you haven't figured it out already, was Vince McMahon returning with an army of hobos.
Excerpt from a Bryan Alvarez interview with a former member of creative:
"...Vince McMahon thought of a long term storyline plan in 5-10 mins. In the October Raw homecoming show in 2005, Vin Man was going to come out and bury everyone like he does backstage. And basically ask who is going to take that brass ring. At the end of the show, Vin Man was going to get hit by a car. Mick Foley was going to be hired to be the investigator. It was going to turn out that Foley was the man that hit Vince because he didn't want Vince to hand over the company to Triple H and Steph because Triple H is the guy that ended Foley's career and he's an evil person. (They were going to publicly mention for the first time that H and Steph were really married at that point, and the plan for them to eventually inherit the company)
Then Shane was going to fight Foley at Mania to defend the family honor. Triple H would beat Cena for the WWE title at Mania with help from Shane in some way. Then as Triple H is at the ramp holding the WWE title with Shane, Steph was going to come out and hug Triple H, then Vince & Linda were going to come out and they were going to show the McMahon family united at the ramp.
Apparently after Vince thought of this, the next week he thought of some storyline that involved him going away for months from the public eye. Not even attending stockholder and business meetings. They were going to put this on wwe.com to make it a huge deal, and eventually Vince was going to return with a HOBO ARMY. Can't make this up. (Of course this wouldn't of worked because they're a public traded company and something like this would nearly kill the company)
McMahon was going to start his own church, and give speeches about what's wrong with government, religion, the world, etc..."
Apparently they even contacted Vince's estranged brother to participate to some degree. Although Vince had all but shunned him up until this point, he agreed.
Crazy stuff!
