Vince McMahon has been involved in some of the most infamous storylines in WWE history, and years ago a storyline centered around Vince having an illegitimate son.
Hornswoggle was a big part of the storyline, and at one point a former WWE writer pitched an idea for Vince to kill Hornswoggle by throwing him out of his limo.
Former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz recently shared a photo of the booking sheet, and noted that he wasn’t sure who pitched the idea, but the pitch reads as follows:
“Have Vince say to HS that we’re going for a ride as Vince stuffs HS into a pillow case. Have a camera standing on a bridge and the audience sees Vince throw HS out the window of his limousine and over the bridge railing. HS plummets to his death.”
The writer then followed up with a note acknowledging that the idea was unlikely to be used.
“I know it’s morbidly and highly unlikely ever to be used, but I think it’s something that a fed up Mr. McMahon could resort to after trying for so long to get rid of him.”
Nowadays evenings are reserved for finally cleaning out closet. I don’t know which writer came up with this nearly 13 years ago and I can pretty much guarantee it didn’t make it to Vince but you got to admire someone who swings for the fences. pic.twitter.com/sDyoDL5SPk

Obviously the idea never got used, but the booking sheet provides an interesting look at some of the ideas that fall by the wayside.
