10 Wrestling Stipulations WWE Never Followed Through
2. Vince McMahon Can No Longer Appear On WWF Television (Fully Loaded 1999)
The increasingly convoluted Stone Cold Steve Austin/Vince McMahon feud finally met its end at July 1999's Fully Loaded along with the Mr McMahon character itself when 'The Rattlesnake' defeated The Undertaker in a First Blood WWE Championship match.
Subtitled the 'End Of An Era' due to the major ramifications - if Austin lost, he'd never get another title shout, if Undertaker took the fall McMahon was gone for good for real no definitely this time - the match went the way of the babyface and McMahon was out of his way forever. Big, high stakes bullsh*t the likes of which WWE couldn't really go back on any time soon.
Until Austin himself undid all that less than two months later.
In some hotshot booking on an early SmackDown in September 1999, a now-babyfaced McMahon was teased into a WWE Championship match with Triple H which he won thanks to interference from 'The Rattlesnake'. McMahon vacated the belt, but took his place back on-screen on the proviso of giving his former sworn enemy a title shot. Typical for wrestling and especially Vince Russo's brand of it, complications and abandonded plot points were ironed out with condescending simplicity.
