Gert T 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2003 I know originally it was announced that Vince was on the Team WWF squad and was replaced by the Big Show about a week before the PPV? Was this done because Vince did not want to be eliminated first, or that it would look weak for the owner of the winning side to not be a sole survivor. Or was he injured? Because I find it hard to believe Vince's ego did not want to be in that match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted May 22, 2003 I think a lot of people were giving him hell for making the centrepiece of the match- McMahon v. McMahon. I know a lot of people were afraid it would come down to Vince v. Shane so I think he wanted to calm everyone down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 22, 2003 Yeah...That was odd...Didn't they already print his face on the posters and had to re-print them quickly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest edotherocket Report post Posted May 22, 2003 I can't imagine that was the reason Bob. I mean the McMahons WERE at the centre of that feud and I don't think Vince would've given two shits about what anyone thought if he had planned to make things come down to him and Shane.

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted May 22, 2003 The McMahons were getting a lot of backlash for hogging all the TV time. I think the match was booked to go down to Rock v. Austin and I think Vince wanted to make it obvious that it wouldn't go down to Vince v. Shane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MideonMark Report post Posted May 22, 2003 I remember hearing from somewhere(dunno where), that the reason was because Vince didnt want to be the first guy to be eliminated, so was replaced by Big Show. who was first eliminated instead. Dunno if thats true though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunno if thats true though I think that was the reason. It was expected for the two mcmahons to lose early, and I guess Vince wasn't good enough to job first, so he sent in job giant Big Slow cause he'll lay down for anyone form $1.
