What was their plan for this storyline?

>>2538645
Vince was going to take over the undertaker gimmick

>>2538645
IT'S MY LIFE IN A BOX AND CHARRED TO BITS

>>2538645
Cliffnotes version:
> Funeral takes place with tons of alumni and even his IRL brother making appearances
> Investigator character would debut and open a case on the death of Vince
> Was going to last through the rest of the year while Shane and Stephanie would co-run Raw through Wrestlemania
> Vince would return and reveal he faked his death and Mr. Kennedy was going to be revealed as his son, and his accomplice
> ends in a Wrestlemania match for control of the company

Based Benoit dying to save us from Memister Memedy main eventing.

>>2538775
Never thought I'd say this but at least one good thing came out of Benoit doing what he did

This would have been retarded even by pro wrestling standards

>>2538775
>Investigator character would debut and open a case on the death of Vince
This is fucking bad. I'm glad this angle never happened

>>2538775
Based Benoit burying Mr. JUSTderson with him and his family

Honestly, Kennedy buried himself by getting caught up in that steroid scandal

>>2538977
He is a main eventer in WAW

>>2539907

That doesn't sound bad. A detective gimmick would have been based.

>investigator is bad at his job
>accuses random wrestlers of being the perpetrator and challenges them to a match

It could have worked.

>>2538645
>Implying they plan this shit that far out in advance.

Have Benoit kill his wife and son kayfabe so he'd have more time with them.

Little did they know...

>people think Benoit was a shoot

Get worked you marks.

They were literally and unironically going to write Vince off TV forever, leaving WWE to be run by Big Dimes Shane leading us to the GOAT era which would have been going for 10 years now.

Basically blame Benoit for the state of the WWE right now.

His explanation is fucking stupid though. Of course it was gonna be that he faked his own death, unless Horny is implying that they considered permanently killing off the Mr McMahon character, which they would never do.

>>2538775

Seems legit, although an investigator character sounds too retarded even by WWE standards

The payoff was suppose to be Benoit's family not getting murdered

>>2538775
>Mr. Kennedy
woof

I just don't get that dude's appeal, even then.

In hindsight it seems hilarious that people thought Mr. Kennedy was going to be the next big thing in wrestling.

>>2541786
His Entrance was GOAT desu

For those who forgot or never watched because too young or whatever, Kennedy was actually over back then, he had a lot of charisma and had a refreshing cocky character and a pretty good finisher.

>>2541786
Called him the next Rock, even.
