Below are some top news stories of the day, involving Jazz and Vince McMahon.
• Former WWE wrestler Matt Morgan revealed that Vince McMahon once considered giving Brock Lesnar the stuttering gimmick, which he ended up receiving instead of Lesnar.
Speaking with Jonathan Coachman, Morgan recalled how McMahon pitched the idea to him in 2005, believing a dominant, physically imposing wrestler with an unexpected weakness — stuttering — would be compelling.
Morgan, who had a public speaking degree, was surprised by the idea. Here’s what he said:
“He goes, ‘Could you imagine? You, six feet, whatever you are, 6’10, 6’11, you have all these physical, body perfections, and you have that Achilles’ heel to you that nobody sees coming. And you start to stutter.’
And I’m like, ‘With respect sir, I graduated top of my class in college with a public speaking degree. Are you sure?’
Vince trying to sell the stuttering character, he actually wanted to put this on Brock Lesnar as God as my witness. He wanted to find somebody that’s jacked and has all these great physical attributes. That looks like a warrior as he put it. But that when they opened their mouth there was this verbal imperfection. Coach we could have had ‘The next Big Stutterer.’”
