F4W.com had former WWE writers on this week all week. Today there was a show with Court Bauer, Alex Greenfield, and Andrew Goldstein. Here is some interesting stuff from that.
- Vince never wanted Mysterio as champion. Back when Dave got hurt in late 05 the plan was for Eddie to get the title but he passed away. They pitched Rey getting it and Vince said in his mean on air voice "He is never getting my F*cking title". The Rumble comes up and up to the day of the show they are fighting over who wins. Vince does not want Rey but most everyone else does including Steph who is a big supporter of him. They call a vote and HHH and Vince vote that Hunter wins a few others vote various other people with the majority voting Rey so it happens. The following day Vince is already talking about how to get Rey out of the WM match. It turns into a three way with Orton and Angle and as with Rumble Vince says no way is Rey winning. They get to like two days before Mania and there is a big meeting. They all vote again. No one picks Angle, Orton gets votes from Dusty and a couple others and most everyone picks Rey. Vince did not vote but after Rey one he says "F8ck yeah Rey has to win, I said that all along". Rey is now champ and Vince over and over every show is talking about when he will lose the title. It is decided upon that Rey will beat JBL and Judgment Day and then lose it to JBL at the SD tapings two days later. JBL injures his back and it can't happen. So it goes to Booker. Vince never saw Booker as a star or champion but felt he was better than Rey. If JBL had gotten the belt and not been injured he was supposed to hold it all the way until Mania and lose it to Batista.
- When they did the DX angle where they spray painted Vince's jet it was about the time that Snakes on a Plane was just about to come out. The scene was supposed to end with Vince saying "I have had it with this mother F*cking DX being on my mother F*cking plane". Vince sees this in the script and has no idea what it is a reference to and no idea what Snakes on a Plane is. He refuses to say that and it is changed. This is just one huge example of how Vince is so out of touch.
- The writers always pitched for songs by guys like 50 Cent to be used but Vince said Hip Hop was not popular with their fans and continued to use stuff like Creed despite it sucking. When Edge found out his theme was by Alter Bridge he was sad. They said he looked like a kid who thought he was out of school for a snow day but then learned he had to go anyways and walk two miles to get there.
- At one point Mr. Kennedy was being groomed to end Takers streak at a Mania but when he did those interviews claiming he never did roids and then failed a drug test his push died and it was never mentioned again.
