Former WWE writer Court Bauer revealed on The World According To Wrestling podcast recently that there once creative plans that would've involved Vince McMahon's real-life brother.
For those that don't know, Bauer began working for WWE in 1999 and eventually became one of the company's top writers for Raw and PPV. In 2007, a storyline which saw Vince McMahon blow up inside a limo would have seen his real-life brother Roderick McMahon join the company:
"I always think what could've been because we were gearing up to do something with Vince's little known brother Roderick," Bauer said. "His family was going to come in the following week and be part of the funeral for Vince McMahon and I was always pushing that I would love to get another side of the McMahon family involved with WWE. I think it would've been fascinating because people forget that Vince has a brother and I think that that story would've been amazing."
Bauer added that he hoped the storyline would have allowed fans to see a different side of the McMahon family:
"How Vince the tycoon he is, the ruthlessly aggressive guy, you know, took over the family business," Bauer said. "His poor brother, what happened to him? And now there's a refresh on the McMahon dynasty and all of the rivalries and stuff you could tell now, all of these new stories that are there because Roderick has children that you could play with in this setting."
The storyline was however nixed following the Benoit family tragedy.
