JPopStarKami 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 A find...the story itself isn't the main thing, but it's the wording here... Former WWE Writer Reveals Possible New Vince Character Vince McMahon is strategically planning his return. Last night on RAW, Shane McMahon's announcement did not further the storyline. This was done so that the plug could be pulled on the storyline if fans show no interest in the following weeks. Vince could return to TV and say he was lucky to avoid serious injury. Another option for WWE is to have Vince remain absence and then show up on RAW unexpectedly. Former WWE writer Brian Gewrirtz pitched an idea in the past of Vince growing a scruffy beard and playing a Howard Hughes-like character. They say he is a 'former' writer. Did he quit? Or get fired? Is this why the writing has been drastically different? Or is this just wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 Maybe he got fired for suggesting Vince come back as Howard Hughes, only to have Vince come back as Howard Hughes but only because it was "his idea". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 I thought he moved into another (higher) role in the company and wasn't doing much of the writing these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I pretty much figure the reason Vince isnt on TV is because when he comes back he's going to be off his rocker crazy, giving Flair's crazy run in WCW a run for his money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I was going to use wikipedia to get to the bottom of the Gewirtz situation but apparently he lacks his own entry. I've seen ONE SENTENCE ENTRIES about random nonsense, but the guy who played the waiter when Saturn, Terri, Dean, and "Sherri" went out for a zany dinner doesn't get an entry? Come now, Wikination.

A Happy Medium 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 Remember Dean Stockwell and his cameo as Howard Hughes in Tucker: The Man and His Dream? Anyways, I always found it odd that when he was talking to Tucker and his son in that hangar, he was manically chomping on peanuts or some other nut. Vince should come back and offer everyone some nuts with the thousand yard stare in his eyes. I think it would just be fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 if it was kept to short segments with him just staying in the background it could be good. But it would more than likely dominate the show. I'd rather him just have a change of heart and go back to being a face commentator. Because the only thing killing RAW for me is Michael Cole... but Cole is a damn good actor, as JR would have not been able to sell the fear of Kane quite as well.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 In all honesty Cole hasn't bothered me all that much since Raw has been a solid show so I haven't had to focus on the announcing to get over dubious angles. Didn't Vince already do a pseudo Hughes gimmick last year when Lashley beat him for the ECW belt? He acted crazy for a couple weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 Yeah, I was kind of thinking the crazy Vince thing has sort of been done already. Honestly, they shouldn't rush this either way. They should bring him back and have it make some kind of meaningful impact on storylines, not just use him in backstage comedy bits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been waiting since the post head shaving for Vince to go loony and just show up on Raw in either his old blue sportscoat or Raw is War denim jacket and act like the last 10 years have never happened. They just open the show and there he is welcoming us to Raw and being his old self on commentary, confusing the hell out of everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
