10 Shocking WCW Vs WWE Moments That Almost Happened

10. Vince Was All Set To Show Up On Nitro To Fight Eric Bischoff

In May 1998, in advance of a WCW pay per view, Eric Bischoff challenged Vince McMahon to show up for a fight. Bischoff was serious about the offer and even alerted security to prepare for Vince to show up. It would have been a legitimate fight and the feeling was that a proud Vince would indeed show. However, the night came and went without McMahon's appearance. The logical thought was that he hadn't turned up because he didn't want to give WCW viewership a boost. But actually, McMahon did intend to turn up. In his mind, he was ready to go there and kick Bischoff's ass. How the combat would actually have played out is uncertain, yes McMahon had size, but Bischoff was younger and had Martial Arts experience. But McMahon couldn't go. Vince Russo has confirmed that McMahon intended to show up, but Stephanie was graduating Boston University on the same day. Vince went to her graduation.
