Former WWE Writer On Why Storyline With Vince McMahon’s Brother Was Dropped

– Court Bauer recently spoke with The World According To Wrestling podcast (via wrestlinginc.com) about the on screen death angle with Vince McMahon and how Roderick McMahon was supposed to come in as part of the angle…

On Showing Another Side of The McMahon Family: “I always think what could’ve been because we were gearing up to do something with Vince’s little known brother Roderick,” Bauer said. “His family was going to come in the following week and be part of the funeral for Vince McMahon and I was always pushing that I would love to get another side of the McMahon family involved with WWE. I think it would’ve been fascinating because people forget that Vince has a brother and I think that that story would’ve been amazing.”

On Using Roderick McMahon: “How Vince the tycoon he is, the ruthlessly aggressive guy, you know, took over the family business,” Bauer said. “His poor brother, what happened to him? And now there’s a refresh on the McMahon dynasty and all of the rivalries and stuff you could tell now, all of these new stories that are there because Roderick has children that you could play with in this setting.”

On Scrapping The Angle: “But that was all scrapped when the Benoit family tragedy happened so… it’s one of those stories like a lot of wrestling,” Bauer said. “What could’ve happened.”
