The Higher Power of the Ministry and Vince McMahon's Limo blowing up were two storylines involving the Chairman of WWE that did not get quite the reception the company perhaps thought they would. Of course, the Limo incident was cut short due to the death of Chris Benoit, but this seemed to really push the boundaries of Pro Wrestling believability from the very start, and fans never seemed to get into it before it got anywhere near the reveal. Another 'Whodunit' that ultimately seemed to fall flat was the storyline surrounding who ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin in 1999. This story spanned the majority of a year, and the man revealed to be the culprit was dancing big man Rikishi. It seemed this was designed to propel Rikishi into the main event as a heel, however the push never really seemed to take with fans, and the initial shock reveal of someone not many would've thought looked to be a bit let down by the follow up. Arguably, this storyline is mostly remembered for Rikishi's storyline reasoning for the act, 'I did it, for The Rock'. Perhaps even more memorable was The Rock's impression of this line in a promo shortly after. With the Whodunit angles not seemingly gaining much traction throughout the years, what about the 'Who is it' storylines? Vince McMahon again was involved in a not so successful mystery angle attempted from this approach, when there was a lengthy search into who his illegitimate son was in 2007. When it was revealed as Hornswoggle, there seemed to be quite a level of discontent amongst fans. Another reveal that, after many guesses from Wrestling fans, seemed to disappoint was Diamond Dallas Page being identified as the stalker of The Undertaker's then wife, Sara. For weeks, video footage the alleged stalker had been taking was shown on WWF TV, and whilst many fans had their theories on who it may be, it didn't seem many had top WCW babyface DDP on their list of potential stalkers. When this culminated in Undertaker and his brother Kane facing off against Page and his partner Kanyon, it can be seen that it didn't really give the payoff many fans expected. More recently in 2011, WWE presented viewers with the mystery of who text Kevin Nash to take out CM Punk after his Summerslam encounter with John Cena. Initially, this storyline seemed to garner a lot of attention, with a big list of suspects being discussed between fans as to just who it may be. When this was revealed to be Kevin Nash himself, and all other potential suspects surrounding the situation falling out of the picture completely, fans seemed to be a bit let down by this, and what could have been a potentially intriguing, drawn out story was over before it started with a resolution that didn't really sit well with viewers. One of the biggest 'Who is it?' mysteries was the identity of the final combatant of the Deadly Game tournament at Survivor Series 1998. Leading up to the event, many fans were speculating to who it may be, for it only to be revealed as Duane Gill. In storyline purposes, it did make sense as at the time, Vince McMahon was facilitating an easy route for Mankind through the tournament. However with fans getting great ideas in their heads as to who it may be, many seemed to feel let down by the man who would go on to be Gillberg.
