JPopStarKami Posted July 16, 2008 Report 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?
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 16, 2008 Report 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".
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Well if he did get fired, Raw is doing better without him... FIRE THEM ALL! Hire more monkies with typewriters dammit!
Hawk 34 Posted July 16, 2008 Report 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.
dubq Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 I actually think that Howard Hughes idea would be pretty hilarious if kept as short backstage skits (and out of the Main Event scene).
The Amazing Rando Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 I actually think that Howard Hughes idea would be pretty hilarious if kept as short backstage skits (and out of the Main Event scene). Only if he wore tissue boxes on his feet and built a model of Brother Love out of wood... a Spruce Bruce.

Only if he wore tissue boxes on his feet and built a model of Brother Love out of wood... a Spruce Bruce. Vince: Coach, go shake Bruce's hand. Coach: But sir, he's made of wood. Vince: *cocks gun* I said shake his hand.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 17, 2008 Report 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.
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 I actually think that Howard Hughes idea would be pretty hilarious if kept as short backstage skits (and out of the Main Event scene). Only if he wore tissue boxes on his feet and built a model of Brother Love out of wood... a Spruce Bruce. Gold!
DrVenkman PhD Posted July 17, 2008 Report 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 Posted July 17, 2008 Report 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.
The Niggardly King Posted July 17, 2008 Report 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 Posted July 18, 2008 Report 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.
Dobbs 3K Posted July 18, 2008 Report 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.
Bigelow34 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 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.

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. 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.
dubq Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 Complete with the old Thorn in your Eye theme music, heh.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 It would also be great if he's friends with Stone Cold and if he forgets or doesn't know he owns the WWE.
A Happy Medium Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 It would be fun for random things like... Vince: My God, King...you've aged terribly since Survivor Series!!
The Niggardly King Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 Yeah and he could be asking things like, "Where's The Hitman?" "What the heck happened to Shawn Michaels??!!"
2GOLD Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Yeah you know, reminding everyone of all the fun times RAW used to have and then force them to watch Cody Rhodes main event might backfire horribly.
ChrisMWaters Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 Yeah and he could be asking things like, "Where's The Hitman?" "What the heck happened to Shawn Michaels??!!" <Vince>And here comes the 1-2-3 Kid, with a new look, ready for action! <King>...that's CM Punk.
