What will be the payoff to the "dead Vince" angle?

Vince faking his death is basically the only realistical way for WWE to end this.

Why limit yourself to realistic solutions...?

I posted this in its own thread, but 75 views later nobody commented on it...

Here's an idea...

Several weeks from now, Vince McMahon's will is finally read, revealing that everything (including control of the WWE) is left to...

... his long-lost, never-before-mentioned twin brother!

Of course, since Vince is the evil twin, therefore the long-lost, never-before-mentioned twin is the good twin. This allows Vince to play out his last few years before retirement as a face without having to explain a genuine face turn by current Vince.

Yeah, I know it sucks. But you all have to admit that it's probably better than whatever smurfed up storyline WWE Creative is going to come up with...

The only way this angle can work is if two things happen, both very unlikely:

1) Vince NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER appears on WWE tv again. Ever.

2) Whenever the writers decide they want to name a guilty party, that person (or people) could never show up on WWE TV again, as, you know, their character would have to be in jail for attempted murder.

Instead, Vince will reappear about Octoberish, maybe early November. There will be some cockeyed explination, the guilty party will be outed, and instead of the authorities getting involved, there will be some super gimmicky flaming ladder table steel cage match of death at Survivor Series or the Rumble or something. And it will be the 2007 Gooker winner.

Would this be a good twist in a TV series? Possibly. But at least there would be some guarantee of that character never appearing on the show again. There is no such thing as "never" in professional wrestling, unless somoene honestly, truly dies.

Sadly, I can see the second scenario playing out easily. Vince "fakes his death" so he can avoid whatever it is he's afraid of (a mega face or mega heel, somebody that won't listen to him, possibly with a large nose). Several months from now, when the mega heel (or mega face, whatever) returns and is either reeking havoc or reeking the babyface equivalent, then Vince will show up to say "IT WAS ME, IT WAS ME ALL ALONG" and we get a Vince versus top guy mine feud for no apparent reason.

I'm saying it here, as I've said before, this angle, as big as it may be, will do nothing to elevate an existing talent, bring in a new star, or help the company beyond whatever the payoff match to this is.

The return of wCw will be the pay off. Along with the Monday Night Wars!

Eric will have gone off the deep end. (Go back to being similar to his Sleezey E, character during the nWo, even going as far as to dawn the leather jacket and jeans again. Throw on that cheesey smile as well.) He comes out randomly one night to no music, while one of the McMahon's is speaking and trying to maintain some kind of normalcy in the WWE. Eric grabs a live mic and simply states "it was me." He can then go on in his own way about how he become so sick of Vince McMahon's gloating, so he finially put an end to that. Which also in turn made it easier for him to get wCw back from the McMahon's. He could throw in something to insinuate having intercourse with Stephanie, even.

Hmmmm....Not so sure this is the right thread and my thought is a bit incomplete, but I'm sure people get the idea...Or could even add to it or make it better. Don't know, I'd just like to see it...

The only thing that will come of this whole debacle will be the return of:
