Vince McMahon Was Not the Original Choice for WWE’s Higher Power Reveal

TLDR

Former WWE star Mideon revealed that Vince McMahon was not the original choice for the Higher Power storyline reveal in 1999. According to Mideon, several candidates were considered including Don Callis (The Jackal), who was strongly discussed for the role before McMahon ultimately decided to take on the character himself. The Higher Power reveal, which aired in June 1999 and exposed McMahon as the mastermind behind The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness, became one of the most memorable moments of the Attitude Era.
