After reading the previous entry, this one may come as a little bit of a shock to some. To others, who know that Vince McMahon seems to live and die by the idea of not making his stars do anything he wouldn't do himself, this kind of thing should come as no surprise. Regardless, the fact that Vince pitched a story to his pregnant daughter Stephanie which would see him revealed as the child's father is stunning. Upon recovering from disappointment that his flesh-and-blood little girl turned down the idea, Vince proposed that her brother, Shane should be outed as the daddy instead. Again rejecting the entire concept, Stephanie remarked on the WWE DVD release, 'McMahon' that she was pretty disgusted by the whole discussion, and was almost sick in her mouth upon hearing it. Thankfully, common sense (or what was left of it) prevailed, and the McMahon grandchild was not used as a cheap plot point in a sordid pro wrestling angle. Shocking storylines designed for entertainment purposes are one thing, but booking yourself to effectively tell your audience that you're having an affair with your own daughter is another. What other ludicrous wrestling story lines that were pitched have you heard of? Did you know about any of the ones listed here? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments section below!
