10 Wrestling Mysteries That Were Supposed To End Differently

10. RIP Vince McMahon

The June 11th 2007 edition of Monday Night Raw concluded with a rather vacant-faced Vince leaving the arena as the WWE roster lined the corridors to the exit. It was a strange, slow segment that ended in quite literally a bang as Vince’s limo exploded with him inside of it.

What transpired on TV was that Vince had faked his own death to see how his family would react. The original plan to hold a “memorial show” was torn up as, less than two weeks later, the tragic Chris Benoit incident occurred and suddenly it seemed like a terrible idea.

For better or worse, Vince’s immediate family - wife Linda and children Shane and Stephanie - have all played roles on WWE TV. However, this storyline was going to finally introduce us to another of the McMahon clan: Roderick.

Roderick, Vince’s legitimate older brother, was due to make his WWE debut following the demise of the chairman to fulfil his brother’s duties and become the on-screen anti-Vince. Instead of being the evil boss incarnate, Rod was going to be a soft and kind-hearted soul.

Difficult to imagine how this one would've played out; not because it includes a member of the McMahon we never saw on TV, but because the idea of Vince pretending to be dead for potentially months boggles the mind.
