10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Ken Shamrock
7. Vince McMahon Wanted To Do An Incest Storyline With Him and Ryan Shamrock...
Lest we forget, it's important, every once and a while, to have a reminder that Vince McMahon is a scummy human being. There are literally hundreds of examples to back that statement up, but one of the more disturbing ones is the fact that the WWE Chairman has always wanted to run an incest storyline on company programming. He actually pitched an angle to Stephanie where he would be revealed as the father of his own daughter's baby, then suggested Shane could be the father. The McMahon children turned down the offer. An early example of McMahon's predilections came when Alicia Webb joined WWE in early 1999. As Ryan Shamrock, she was Ken's kayfabe sister, but rather than offer her brother support, she turned out to be a liability - her dalliances with Val Venis and Goldust got under Ken's skin and ended up costing him victory on multiple occasions. Her tenure with WWE didn't last long - she was released from the company in July of 1999 - but she later claimed that McMahon was planning a romantic storyline between the Shamrocks (which Ken shot down). Thankfully, things never went that far.
