Culprits and Motives of the Conspiracy
-Who Gains To Benefit The Most-
One important thing about understand whos behind a conspiracy is figuring out who stands to gain the most from it.
This is the key to solving the mystery. I have compiled a list of people and peoples who could be behind this and I want the full discussion on which of the culprits is more likely to be behind this all, based on this list, in this thread. If the person isnt on this list, Id truly be shocked.
The other key to understanding a conspiracy is having an open mind to all possibilities and measuring them up against each other, no matter how crazy it may seem.
Truth is stranger than fiction, so the obvious isnt always the right choice. This is why some of the culprits below may be far out of range, but I had to list them because of certain ways it can work to bring in any of these names.
Lastly, I see people messing up left and right in various threads so in this one, Id like to point out that there are so few options for a mastermind to the conspiracy and there are actually more options for co-conspirators instead. People have seemingly gotten confused with that by thinking that some individuals could be masterminds when they simply can not be. Ill explain for each person.
And before you even get started reading, dont come in here and bash me with any logic arguments because this is wrestling. We all know that anything can happen and it can be obvious or completely out of left field.
Likely Culprits-
I want to start with the three that I see coming up the most. Here they are and heres what Ive got on all of them.
Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon makes more sense than anyone on the list and thats the part that intrigues me. If they want to keep shocking us like they have been, week-to-week, with the better consistent programming weve gotten since the summer, Vince would not be the guy behind it all. If they wanted to have an easy bridge to connect the dots of motive and sensibility, it doesnt get any better than Vince being the mastermind. If they want to go the easy route and have Vince be the mastermind, then it isnt the mastermind thats the shock
its the co-conspirator(s) involved that should be the shocker.
Motive:
Revenge
So, we all know why Vince wants Triple H out of power as the COO. Triple H is the reason hes no longer running the day-to-day operations of the WWE. He wants to have that power back. He wants to run his creation and if he cant run it, HES GONNA KILL IT!! with a lethal dose of chaos. So hes trying to force a situation to come about, with Triple H in power, similar to the situation he was in, so HHH can look bad and is put out of power. (Remember that last line, were coming back to it)
No one expected Vince to go out quietly and thats understandable, however, there is another way Vince could fit into this in a way that would have someone else be the mastermind.
Reasons Against Him Being The Mastermind:
I want to bring that line back up again I typed moments ago.
So hes trying to force a situation to come about, with Triple H in power, similar to the situation he was in, so HHH can look bad and is put out of power.
Now, this just doesnt make sense at face value. I get why Vince would want Triple H out and himself back in, but putting Triple H into the same situation of not having control isnt going to get him back in.
What reason would there be to put Vince back in control of the day-to-day operations if both he and Triple H were seen as unfit to control the show?
There would have to be a third party involved separate from Triple H and Vince, but I will hold that off for later.
This could be sloppily done to where Vince would have formed a plot to simply take out Triple H and take the company back by force, threats and paying people off to get himself back in power, but I cant see it being a case of the stars wanting Vince back because hes was in more control of a chaotic environment when he was in power or something to that degree. It has to be that the stars align with Triple H after its too late and hes out of power. They know someone is causing chaos because hes in power and after finding out whos doing it they can and will want to take out that person with Triple H at the helm, captaining the team.
The other thing is, someone else could be doing this on Vinces behalf. Vince then paying off that person who HHH appoints as COO now, as it seems he has to do, would be his way back in. Vince may want back in, but not even be in on the recent events, seeing this turn into a three way split, some sort of Tri-War for WWE.
Vince would have to look in control of the situation to gain any kind of support for him to come back though, so maybe him being behind the chaos and saying he could stop it at anytime would be one way, but thats more of a threat to get back in and doesnt seem likely without a fight to get Triple H back in power. (which would be the faces supporting HHH and heels supporting Vince) but then the chaos didnt start with Vinces departure it came before Vinces departure. (will explain later)
Laurinatus, last night on Raw, said Triple H would have to appoint a new COO. Triple H has the power to choose a new COO and that wouldnt be Vince. So it cant be as simple as putting Triple H out of power unless whoever gets that position immediately resigns and appoints Vince and The Board gets involved and makes a match for control between Triple H and Vince at Survivor Series via their teams. Maybe it will be as simple as that, but a co-conspirator yet to be known of has to be in the mix somewhere.
Vince could simply be testing the "no one man is bigger than the WWE" mentality on HHH to see if he calls it quits. Or maybe HHH is doing it to Vince in some twisted way. Maybe it is just order out of chaos like most great conspiracies.
Either way this goes, Vince is highly likely as the mastermind and really the only true option unless this turns into a Vince/Triple H teaming up against another person(s) or a Vince vs HHH vs (fill in the blank) situation
Benefit:
Getting his control back over the day-to-day operations of the WWE.
Stephanie McMahon Helmsley
Stephanie McMahon Helmsley has been seen very little throughout this whole thing and youd think shed have some urge to get involved somehow as Triple Hs wife, Vince daughter, etc.
Motive:
Inheritance.
Stephanie wants whats rightfully hers. Linda is out of the way with her campaign for Senate. Shane is out of the way doing his own thing and involved with business in China. Vince isnt in control and what shouldve been her moment was Triple Hs when he was put in charge. Now of course she was there when he was given that power, but this is still an option.
Triple H is the only person in the way of Stephanie running the show on her own. Shes been waiting for this a long time and it can easily go the route of her looking at her own husband as unworthy of being in the spot she should be in as hes nothing more than an outsider who was married into the legacy of the McMahon Family.
Maybe they go the route of a HHH vs Stephanie program and hold off on a Vince thing, or have a three-way war for power. Stephanie being in power cant benefit Vince unless she secretly is supporting him and didnt speak up at the Board Meeting when they voted no confidence (this would also explain his quiet leave, having known this was coming, had a back up plan for this all with Steph as insurance
or someone else maybe), but HHH already stated the family lost faith in Vince. So unless Vince has that incest angle he wanted to do at one point years ago come in, which Steph said she wouldnt do, and she divorces HHH, it just doesnt make sense that she can be in cahoots with Vince. Shed want the power for herself if she were the mastermind, thus she could only be a co-conspirator at the most, unless they were willing to do a three way for power, which I dont see them doing.
I cant see them having a three-way thing happening leading into Survivor Series, which is an event where two teams battle each other.
Unless they wanted to have the first ever 5 on 5 on 5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match and it could definitely work out if they decided to do that.
Otunga, Ziggler, Swagger, Christian and Cody could easily be a team for Vince
Miz, Truth, Nash, and two more stars could be for Steph
And the dream team of all-stars on the side of HHH
Now this may seem like a stretch. Yes the heels that wanted to file a lawsuit could just be the pawns for Vince after Vince had Truth and Miz and Nash do what they did.
Or they could just be reacting naturally to chaotic events, as even the faces did, and walked out on Raw.
Vince could take this chance to get the confidence of his stars back by leading them against the chaotic stars Steph has had try and make HHH look bad, but the face stars upon hearing of the true mastermind wouldnt need to be afraid anymore and could fight with him. Just a thought, and yeah it likely wont go down quite like that.
Reasons Against Her Being The Mastermind:
Shes Triple Hs wife and supports him as any wife would, as she still would have control with HHH, and maybe doesnt feel she needs to be COO. Maybe she wants to stay home with the kids. Maybe shed like to be more than just COO anyhow and its a step towards it for her.
She was at the secret meeting held without Vince where she could have spoken out against Triple H being in as the new COO over her. Even though I gave a reason why she may have stayed quiet, its more likely she wouldve informed Vince or said something or maybe not.
And lastly, this is more likely going to stay a two-sided battle, not a three-sided one nor a two-sided battle without Vince.
The ultimate thing against her being the mastermind even though its understandable she could want sole control, is why not co-run things with her husband like The McMahon Helmsley Era? Besides the inheritance thing would work a bit better and come off better with someone else.
So she could be a mastermind, but more than likely is a co-conspirator if anything at all.
Benefit:
She wants the power Triple H was for herself.
John Laurinatus
I do not see it. I dont see any reason again how getting Triple H out, via John being behind this move to help Vince get back in, is helping Vince look any better than Triple H. Especially when it comes out that he was behind it, Triple H would look good in the eyes of the stars, so the long-term results wouldnt benefit Vince. Theres a missing piece there either way you look at it. John cant be the mastermind though. The puppets are often confused for the puppet masters in conspiracies and thats the mistake.
Motive:
Getting power for himself
Benefit:
Getting power for himself.
I just threw the motive and benefit out there to show that Johnny Ace cant be the mastermind. Hes a pawn, if anything. He can only be a pawn of Vince, the mastermind and want Vince back in power, which makes him a pawn, not a mastermind himself unless he wanted power, because otherwise theres no benefit other than money, being paid off by McMahon, which again has Vince as the mastermind, so he isnt the mastermind of anything.
Reasons Against Him Being The Mastermind:
Maybe he really has been looking shady to draw attention to himself, but has no involvement with getting Vince back. Usually in a conspiracy, the person pulling the strings wants you to think its those in your face and the real puppet masters are out of sight. He is a pawn in any given case unless he screws Vince and Triple H simultaneously and his character isnt strong enough to go that route at all. The mastermind isnt the pawn helping the plan; its the king instructing the pawn. Vince is the king.
Unlikely Culprits-
Triple H (The Cerebral Conspiracy)
Lets not forget who masterminded the running over of Stone Cold Steve Austin and told him to his face DTA Austin. Dont Trust Anyone.
Lets take a look back at the footage of the revelation of The Game as the mastermind behind it all:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoKeid0WMG8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l44u9Hbhk3U&feature=related
(skip to 10:01 if youre impatient)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkTfN9AI9OI&feature=related
Note that in video 2, Triple H says, and I quote, Who gained the most in Austins absence? As I stated and as with real conspiracies, thats the main question to ask yourself.
Now riddle me this. Who is the damn WWE in Vinces absence?
Everytime Austin thought he figured out what was going on, there was another swerve, taken from video 3.
Now another thing Id like everyone to take a look at as we stroll down memory lane, is this clip from Raw featuring HBK and HHH. Look at Triple Hs past.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_4Ctdp9fDM
See that. See how they take something out of your mind as a possibility only to bring it back even greater. Triple H had just pedigreed Shawn about a month earlier or weeks earlier and Shawn got put out in a parking lot attack that saw Triple H set aside their differences and care.
VKM is dead and theres a new Game in charge. And this time, unlike The McMahon Helmsley Era, he wont stop while hes in control. Hes going all out this time.
Now maybe in a wacky way it ends up that Triple Hs causing of his own chaos is part of a plan on a bigger level than I can come up with. Maybe hell impress The Board by making the show more interesting for the fans since becoming COO, if its a vote between he and Vince to a live crowd or something like that.
Triple H is the Cerebral Assassin and he mindfucks people with mind games. He could be doing that again on a different level. Hes smart and has been known for staging things in the past, whats to say he wouldnt do it to himself? Its not out there, its totally possible.
On a side note, theres nothing stopping him from ending the streak now. Maybe this has something to do with The Undertaker and a power trip with he and some friends, but lets come back to that.
Reasons Against Him Being The Mastermind:
He wouldnt put himself out of power as it makes no sense.
Benefit:
Unknown
Id just like to say that stranger things have happened. I still personally see them able to fully go down this road even if it meant having HHH and Vince together with Triple H saying that Vince should run the company, the fans should be happy with that and the stars can clearly see that the chaos he caused being in charge was way worse than when Vince was in charge. Basically itd see Triple H being in charge and screwing up intentionally to make people favor Vince running it his way, which then turns HHH heel.
Then there is an option open for him to be doing this to himself for a better cause. Again, Ill get to that later.
CM Punk or
CM Punk and Wade Barrett (The Nexus Conspiracy)
Now this one would be fun. CM Punk led Nexus after Wade Barretts power ended. Note that Nexus was always working for a higher purpose and common goal, never revealed. It was in essence just Wade Barrett leading a group of young stars to take over, but it had elements that werent answered like other great angles big and small.
They could very well reveal the real reason why they attacked Undertaker last year and Taker could come back soon after. Maybe that ties in somehow. Its only speculation, but I dont think it should be ruled out that we had young stars in Nexus that didnt like Cena in his spot and had a long program with him, and now we have Punk who also led Nexus in a feud with Cena. He and Cena fought while he led Nexus and they are doing it yet again with Punk solo. I cant tell you exactly how they connect it, but they very well could try. Barrett and Punk collaborating together could get Barrett over the way he shouldve continued to get over with Nexus.
Punk wants to make this fun again and Nexus made it fun again when it debuted. I just see an opening there, not to bring Nexus back, but to explain why it happened in the first place and how it relates to this. And you can easily have it relate. Nexus came in, Punk led the New Nexus, Punks Nexus crumbles and he threatens to leave, it can be all part of the plan. Nothings set in stone anyway.
Wanna know why Nexus attacked Taker? Why Punk has it out for Cena? Well let DDP tell you why
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcYYgcXKmqs&feature=related
(skip to 2:47)
I believe they found Takers weakness in Kanes newfound power. Alignment makes sense now, just a few more explanations to be given. Ill get to that even later at the very end here.
Well anyhow the Nexus Conspiracy could work in a few ways. With the right people involved, but this wouldve had to have been meant to fail. Thats the thing. One option is unlikely, but possible too. Will explain at the very end. This thing can just go more than one way of having it be a voice of the voiceless or a stand for the young guys to knock the old guys off the thrown. Nexus was more than likely a test.
The Undertaker
Motive:
Vengeance
Im not going to draw this one out. It cant be anymore simple than Triple H embarrassed him at WrestleMania by putting him down like nobody ever had. Taker wants revenge by killing Triple Hs job. Taker has the supernatural effect to do whatever he wants whenever he wants without even being present.
The question is whats in this for Taker. Only vengeance, which happens to be the next PPC-PPV, but since they would want Taker being a face going into Mania, he cant be the mastermind. So there, he cant be the mastermind unless he goes heel and starts a new cult Ministry with Miz, Truth etc. I doubt it happens.
And I doubt Taker is wanting to take over WWE like he wanted to back in 1998 I believe it was. And they arent going to pull The Taker/Vince Higher Power angle again
Lets hope.
Taker would more than likely be a victim of a conspiracy than a mastermind behind one for those who think its him.
John Cena
This is very unlikely. He absolutely in no way can be a mastermind, but can be a co-conspirator or an unwilling part of it and Ill get to that later.
Motive:
Position
I could only see Cena in anyway being involved not as a mastermind, but a co-conspirator and turning at Survivor Series in the 5 on 5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match. He cant turn at all before then and if he is part of it, it has to be to keep his position in the WWE and maybe Orton turns with him, maybe not.
As it is with most people, not all, but most on this list not named Vince McMahon, it doesnt make sense for them to be a mastermind, but they could still have part in this.
Benefit:
He stays number 1 with Vince in power or his position is threatened.
Shawn Michaels
Motive:
Jealously
He could be jealous of the fact that he was above Triple H in DX and then he got forced out of work due to a back injury that had him out for 4 years and he comes back and Triple H is now above him, turns on him and the idea of a DX reunion and what made him big in the first place, turns around and goes corporate and marries into the family they rebelled against.
I cant see Shawn ultimately doing this alone if he is involved so in this case Im calling a co-conspirator set up again with Vince!
Hes done it before, he can do it again. If anyone is good at screwing people, its Shawn Michaels and with Survivor Series coming up and they could play Bret into it and have a HBK/Hart thing with one on Vinces side and one on Triple Hs side (I know you all wont like this, but Vince wants to make SS big in every way and their feud DVD is coming out play it up for everything its worth)
Anyway, screwed by his own friend Triple H would be and HBK wouldve destroyed HHH out of jealously
Also jealously because HHH came closer in one Mania to beating Taker than he did in two. Putting him down like that.
This one is a bit all over the place.
Chris Jericho
Motive:
I dont know what hes suppose to get out of this.
I dont see how he gains anything. Even slightly, when his only return option is obviously The Rumble, but I listed him anyway because people mentioned him as a possibility.
I could only say that maybe he wants Orton out and Orton attacked Vince so this is Vince and Jerichos way of revenge and I dont see that one happening. Jericho doesnt start conspiracies
hes a victim, see: WCW.
I briefly want to take an intermission and say maybe Batista or Mick Foley could be involved in some way but not as a mastermind, maybe Edge is bitter over being unable to wrestle so he has some involvement with why Christian cant get one
more
match.
Maybe Bret Hart wants to screw the friend of the guy who screwed him and that comes out near Survivor Series. What if Bret helps Vince screw HHH? And then HBK is in HHHs corner? But Vince and Bret teaming up would be huge and out of left field and could possibly be written up right. Who knows?
Rowdy Roddy Piper could be in on it from a Ventura point of view, but Ill get to that later
Teddy Long
Motive:
Promotion in Position
Hes tired of being in the GM position and feels he should be running things. Notice that hes been making matches on Raw and the Raw GM thing could be him too or maybe not.
Long wouldnt be a popular choice for a mastermind, but maybe he wants power and could turn heel. Again, this makes it a three way of Vince, Trips, Long. It isnt likely.
Highly Unlikely, but still possible and more shocking Culprits-
The Kliq
Triple H still never made a decision to join Nash, Pac and HBK when it was a new nWo. He was put in a situation of join or be our enemy. The Kliq could be causing chaos because they feel Triple H is a sell out to everything their factions stood for so they are being degenerates, they are breaking the rules made and calling for a new WWE, a more chaotic one where they have fun at the top out of sight because The Kliq really runs the wrestling world and always has be it WWE or WCW, they had the two biggest factions. They had the pull behind the scenes. Why not play off that and force HHH to choose between his friends and the cause or his wife, father-in-law and the job. This could be yet another option where Vince is won over as good enough to fill his shoes by making hard decisions, but smart business decisions. And this goes back to him firing Nash etc. HHH is doing things as Vince would and I see Vince saying he sees some of himself in HHH. It may not go the Vince vs HHH route at all. They could team up.
Stephanie could be the one behind The Kliqs pending return using HHHs friends to get to him, and knowing everything about HHH to make his reign at the top hell.
Or maybe HHH is behind it all and this was a big laugh by The Kliq on everyone and they had to take the attention off of them being together with HHH involved as Punk pointed out.
I just wouldnt rule out HHH as most conspiracies just when you think youve solidified that this cant happen, the plan was for you to think that wasnt possible all along. (again I bring up The Higher Power. Whether or not people liked it, it still happened and they are capable of that again)
It doesnt matter how many times they fight, they always end up back together. Whether you as a fan may like it or not, DX and the now has reformed many times and The Kliq has always reunited in their various forms in bits and pieces. I know Hall has his issues, but you never know. They could get him in, it could happen.
Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff
Stranger things have happened. I am going to give more wtf options than this. Hogan is leaving TNA so this is doable since hell fight Sting this month and be gone. Bischoff, I dont know about, whether hes staying or leaving, but hey. Cant say anything other than revenge for Bischoff via defeat in the MNW and a chance opening up to take over WWE, having him run with it by bringing about chaos. That this time, it would be a legitimate threat of rebels, but in reverse, from his command on WWE soil.
Atleast I didnt say its a full blown WWE/TNA cross over where Vince has planted Hogan and Bischoff in TNA for them to cause chaos there then have stars cause chaos under HHH. Both are HHHs (Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Hollywood Hulk Hogan) both are egotistical stars running each company, both have had more chaos in the company after theyve run it than when they werent in charge. And somehow this leads to WWE vs TNA @ Survivor Series and Sting can face Taker @ Mania.
But never mind lets move on
Ted Turner
Motive:
Revenge
Bitterness over defeat couldve caused him to use his money, power and influence to take over WWE after a quiet invasion.
Turner wants to destroy WWE completely and this causes Vince to side with HHH after HHH rallies against Turner and Vince has HHHs blessing to run WWE as this event would show how much hes willing to fight for WWE etc (and this so isnt happening, but is another pure shock revelation. And it shouldnt happen)
Donald Trump
Im not even going to elaborate. I only mentioned him because of the time he bought WWE from Vince briefly via storyline, remember. They could try and connect this to that but with Trump taking over through someone else or something. It creates a Tri-War effect and is most unlikely
. unless he takes over as COO and resigns and appoints Vince the new COO, but that aint happening.
Paul Heyman
Motive:
Hope for a better WWE through change.
CM Punk said he was a Paul Heyman guy. Heyman has spoken out on not wanting to be in the business unless he can do something different and better and change with the times, not go backwards.
This could be something where Paul is doing this because he thinks he can make WWE interesting again, but by making it different like he made ECW different and got that over. He can say that all the chaos he caused was to prove that only he can control the type of chaos that occurred in ECW and that HHH isnt able to, Vince isnt able to, but he is and he will give better programming than whats been dished out and it wont have anything to do with an ECW resurrection, just something new and fresh with Punk as his guy. Sure Heyman likely wont be used, but its a possibility. You never know what WWE may do and whom they may bring in for whatever reason, lets not forget Bischoff in 2002.
Dana White
Who knows if the meeting he and Vince had was really not about a collaboration or not, but maybe Dana White could come in and his motive is to kill off wrestling and take their best stars to UFC like Lesnar. They could set up the Taker/Lesnar match WWE wanted @ Mania and work out some legit shoot UFC fight that a star could do on a UFC event since some of the guys wanted to do MMA. This is definitely far from likely, but I had to bring it up, because you never know.
The Anonymous Raw GM
Motive:
Unknown
The Anonymous Raw GM has been very quiet for months I believe. Perfect timing to reveal who it is and as the mastermind, although now that Ive finally gotten to this person, I want to bring up the possibility that there is possibly more than one mastermind. Co-masterminds. I could see the Anonymous Raw GM, Nexus and the now all having reasons why they had to happen, are connected and leading to the endgame. It can work, but it has to make sense and be a damn good connection.
Although it could just be Stephanie who was given that power over Raw by Vince so she could stay at home as a pregnant mom, who didnt need to be put in danger via Nexus attacks in a chaotic environment (see the chaos has always been here since then) and thus she could type away at a laptop from home. (I think she was pregnant then, but even if she wasnt it works that she wouldnt position herself in that danger)
It could be Shane who was placed in power by Vince so should anything go wrong, Shane would be an ace in the hole for the power to be where it needs to be.
I cant see it being a star at this point unless more than one mastermind is in play. Just a star by them self makes no sense unless some wrestling personality is with them or theres a bigger game than a power game.
Benefits:
Unknown (and thats good. Benefit is unknown because the person(s) unknown and this should totally be used in this storyline somewhere, especially after they havent been certain what to do with the Raw GM for a while.
God
Okay this one is a joke I had to throw in for the hell of it. But hey, God did wrestle a match. Vince could always have God behind it, and come back and make people choose to follow him, the God of WWE or God w/DX as Shawn would come back for this follow-up angle, God of the World and they could unify the WWE and World title over it etc. (yeah this isnt happening and any other option would occur first)
Hell, also just for fun
Rikishi did it for The Rock. He did it for the people
he did it as a protest to having to wear thong looking things in the ring
Moving on
Linda McMahon
Not going to be popular and it shouldnt be because it sucks.
Motive:
Senate Race
Linda wants to look good for her next campaign so she wants to destroy the WWE by causing HHH to be without power and Vince so that she can come in and turn it G this time and into some show that will give her a boost in the election having turned her husbands crazy wrestling show into a full out entertainment show that would see the WWE Network be the only trace of what was and after her campaign was won the WWE would go back to normal. She covert sabotages it, but it comes out to the WWE Universe. (I know this would defeat the purpose)
Or maybe not. Maybe she backs a candidate she thinks will run WWE in a way that shows her and her family in a better light than what it did in her last run for Senate.
Reasons Against Him Being The Mastermind:
She doesnt want to be involved in any way with WWE as it really wont help her race at all no matter what happens. But of course, I had to include it anyway just
because.
Benefit:
Her Image to the Voters being positive
Shane McMahon
Okay, now heres one that can work after a few just for fun ones. Shane will come back one day. I dont know why people think theyll never ever see him on WWE TV again, but this isnt an argument over that even though those of us who were right about The Rock coming back after the endless post saying otherwise are going to be right about this too.
Shane left WWE as many stars do before they come back again. He doesnt have to be here a long while, but there is an opening for him to come back for a last run.
Motive:
Inheritance
Shane would be pissed that Triple H is taking his spot as head guy in charge. Even if its just the COO thing, not being Chairman. Shane coming in would make sense to take it from Triple H. If Vince had to step down youd think hed bring back his son rather than have HHH take control of the shows. HHH/Steph vs Vince/Shane. Its a way to go, maybe not the way to go to everyone, but it is an option.
Whos to say Shane doesnt want to wrestle again. Everyone else is doing it.
Shane could say that Vince wouldnt just step down and let him take over and he got sick of waiting for him to die so he just decided to wait for the right moment to take whats his by birth right and that Steph shouldnt get it, Hunter shouldnt get it, just him.
HHH keeps saying Vince is out of touch, well Shane is younger, not that young, but still, hes a McMahon and he could push himself as a better option than Vince. Say that the company is a hand-me-down tradition and its his turn.
Shane leading the stars of tomorrow vs Vince and his stars of yesterday is sensible. HHH can fit in under Vince. Theres still a few options open that could see them on the same page and Vince can appreciate HHH being just like him.
Benefit:
Control of the day-to-day operations of WWE
Now this could go deeper for Shane than simply inheritance like with Steph. I see a chance that Shane, Punk, Nexus can all be connected.
Stone Cold Steve Austin
I had to put him here because if hes going to face Punk next year then he could be the head of this conspiracy. Who loves raisin hell more than Austin after all? Its just an idea for now. I cant elaborate on a motive and such with all these options, but they do come to mind as possibilities and again, this is wrestling. Some motives you dont always see in everything, however, and thats good sometimes. Shit, shock me with the reasoning, I say.
Jesse Ventura
http://forums.wrestlezone.com/showthread.php?t=188015 (explained here)
He can either be the head of a counter to Vinces masterminded conspiracy or he could be in
I hope that wasnt too sloppy, I did wanna just get this down here at this point, I think Ive made my point to what I wanted. I can always edit. Anyway there ya have it.
Here are my top 5 choices for the most likely possibilities:
The Top Five Choices I See
Out of all the options available I think the top five likely masterminds behind completely different, conspiracies are:
-Vince McMahon for the heel conspiracy to simply take out HHH and insert himself in with a fight for control, taking a less complex route to end this thing before Mania and at SS.
-Jesse Ventura being a mastermind of a counter conspiracy against The Corporate Conspiracy or The Cena Conspiracy which was formerly The Hogan Conspiracy.
-The Kliq and or HHH by himself tie for 5th
-The Anonymous Raw GM
All of these have the masterminds ultimately not being co-conspirators and on some level having a motive to be a mastermind. I think the Raw GM is a co-conspirator and that will shock us not Vince who will likely be the mastermind, (but that could be wrong, the GM may be the mastermind) but even so still
I see a move where Jesse can be played in the right way here.
and lastly my tied 5th pick- Shane and The Nexus Conspiracy combined with some new features Ill explain soon
I will edit this post in 24 hours with my complex idea of what the other possible option is even though its very much out there and then this post will be complete.
I had to atleast get this posted first, so stay tuned, theres more.
I would just note that the conspiracy varies depending on the people involved
it's funny that the heels should actually be the victims here of the true conspiracy meanwhile being demonized but they actually are onto the true conspiracy
the conspiracy itself should be that which Punk spoke on
it, if as it is though would have to have Vince and HHH team or HHH be for the same change Punk is for in the end, the chaos has been around since Nexus.
Ventura though would be a good on screen character for this in a pro-new guys, young guy anti-Cena role
It's gotta role with everything CM Punk was about and that can mix with the reason for Nexus from the start if they wanted to
I dont think it's as simple as HHH vs Vince in the end
