10 Wrestling Storylines That Vanished Without A Trace
1. The Attempted Murders Of Vince McMahon
One of the most famous unfinished WWE storylines is Vince's exploding limo. There's nothing more to the angle that that phrase: Vince steps in his car and it's engulfed in flame. Of course, this was all ignored in the wake of the Benoit tragedy in the following days.
But it's not the only time Vince set up a story where someone seemed to want him dead. 2008's Millior Dollar Mania was ratings grab that saw Vince dial phone numbers and promise cash to those that could give the correct phrase.
The concept was a total car-crash that resulted in some of the most uncomfortable television imaginable. The biggest highlight was Vince being rickrolle'd twice by a fan who then went on to win $20,000. What a great night for that person. All in all, it wasn't working and so Vince put an end to the idea by writing an event where the stage exploded and collapsed upon him.
Perhaps most strangely of all, to hype up Vince's return to TV six months later the January 19th 2009 episode of Raw opened with a video package with footage of precisely what led to Vince missing TV but it never truly went told us why. Debatably, there was no angle - it was simply to allow Vince to end the Million Dollar Failure. However, it was prime for a whodunnit... that we never got.
