Former WWE Writer Pitched Idea For Vince McMahon To Kill Hornswoggle

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.”

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