WWE Hall Of Famer Says Vince McMahon Storyline “Just Didn’t Make A Lot Of Sense”

A WWE Hall of Famer shared their thoughts on an Attitude Era storyline involving Vince McMahon that they felt “didn’t make a lot of sense.”

During the height of the Attitude Era in 1999, WWE was known for its bold and often controversial storytelling. However, one particular storyline, the reveal of the Ministry of Darkness’ “Higher Power,” missed the mark for Ross. In a plot twist that shocked fans, Vince McMahon was unveiled as the “Higher Power” who had been orchestrating a series of dark and sinister events, including the kidnapping of his own daughter, Stephanie McMahon. The storyline aimed to intensify the feud between McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin, but according to Ross, it failed to land.

Speaking on his “Grilling JR” podcast, Ross reflected on the convoluted nature of the storyline.

I think when you sit back and look at it, and try to evaluate it, make some sense out of it, it’s hard to make sense out of it.

He specifically recalled the infamous line, “It was me, Austin, it was me all along!” which McMahon delivered during the reveal. Ross felt that this twist was a significant stretch from reality and did not align well with the buildup.

It was a stretch, a stretch to reality, it just didn’t make a lot of sense.

Ross also pointed out that the storyline was heavily reliant on the McMahon family, which may have contributed to its flaws.

We had all four McMahons doing something on the show.

Ross noted, emphasising the over-saturation of McMahon-centric narratives at the time.
