Apparently Vince wanted to do a Brawl For All with the NXT Roster

[MenacingMonk]

Vince McMahon was apparently dead set on doing another "Brawl for All" shootfighting event back in the late 2000s — this time, with the NXT roster.

Former writer and producer John Piermarini says the WWE Chairman "had to be talked out of it" following the failure and controversy of the first event, which left a number of wrestlers injured. Piermarini revealed the scrapped plan on Twitter Tuesday night after watching VICE's Dark Side of the Ring, which chronicled the fallout from Brawl for All.

these silly stories just don't hit me like that.

Just because somebody was spitballing ideas around doesn't mean they were serious ideas. I'm sure somebody had suggested a title run for yoshi tatsu, doesn't mean it was a serious thing they ran with. But i see i'm ruining your thread.

The writer clearly said it was Vince who brought it up. No one would care if it was a writer.

again, BRINING IT UP IN A MEETING JUST SPITBALLING DOESN'T MAKE IT A LEGIT "IDEA".

It’s Vince McMahon bringing it up, which makes it worth a mention.

Maybe....

But some of the stupid shyt that’s actually been approved and executed to failure on tv kinda gives credence and credibility to it too.
