"Daddy, obviously you're very attractive, and a few years ago who knows, maybe one thing would lead to another - but you're just a little old for me, sorry!"

This of course is not what Stephanie said. She was genuinely repulsed by the infamous pitch revealed, inexplicably, on the 2006 'McMahon' double disc DVD.

This however is what Vince must have thought Steph's thought process was. It is the only thing that can be inferred from his trade offer.

*Vince presses hands together finger tip to finger tip*

I receive: your rejected pitch.

You receive: your brother's ejaculate.

Yes: when Stephanie was appalled by the notion of her fictional character having sexual intercourse with a blood relative, Vince must have thought that the blood relative was too old, since he suggested that Shane be the father instead.

Steph shot this down too, for good reason. The notion was beyond disgusting, and if the moral objection wasn't enough, this storyline was hardly going to draw new or lapsed or fans. It was the charmless edge of "post" Attitude Era storytelling reaching a new nadir. What about Linda? Why didn't Vince just shag her?

Of course, this wasn't the first time WWE experimented with such an angle...
