5 shocking WWE storyline ideas that were rightly shelved

#5 Shane-Stephanie McMahon romance angle

Shane and Stephanie McMahon

Vince McMahon is a genius storyteller and businessman, revolutionising the pro wrestling industry. But, there's a little madness in his genius as evidenced by the storyline that he wanted his son Shane, and daughter Stephanie, to be a part of.

Bruce Prichard revealed that Vince McMahon wanted Stephanie and Shane to be involved in a romance angle.

"It was during the time when Stephanie was pregnant and Vince was trying to figure out if he could work that into a storyline. It was an entire Sunday, an entire day of my life that I will never get back. That was always one of the things, whenever he'd come up with crazy stuff like that.

"It would be like, 'Well, who's going to let Shane know?' The funny thing is, we were all on the phone going over everything and it was classic Vince. 'What if I was the father?' Then there's nervous laughter because no one thinks he's serious but then it became, 'Well, what if?'," said Prichard. (H/T WrestlingInc for the transcription)
