I’m not inclined to believe e that version. It was all just another Russo brain fart. The WCW version, he was absolutely in a vignette with Vampiro bowing to him. He'll they might have gotten Curtis Iaukea's chair from the Dungeon of Doom days out of storage for it. I remember the promos. I just don’t go put that it was meant to be Daniels, any more than that he was supposed to e the higher power. He was a no name at the time, him in either angle would have been dumbfounding even for Russo.

Being boss of a midcarder like Vampiro I could buy more than the freaking Undertaker. It's not like today where it'd be "OMG it's noted indy wrestler Christopher Daniels" It'd be more "here's the mastermind behind it, a brand new character who happens to be played by someone 1% of the audience might know"

Russo was probably a mark for Daniel’s and tried to pitch for him in both WCW and WWE. Maybe he even tried to sell the idea of Daniels in the ministry or the new blood. But i doubt he was trying to write Daniels as the evil power behind the curtain.

Remember that detective who was going to solve Vince McMahon’s murder. Of course, that got dropped for obvious reasons.

To the point Vince McMahon brought that up on the RAW before the reveal and it was clear a chunk of the crowd was expecting this too!
