Former WWE creative team member Dan Madigan was a recent guest on the ‘Review-a-Wai’ podcast with John Pollock and Wai Ting to commemorate the anniversary of MAY 19TH when the WWE released ‘See No Evil’. The full review of the film and interview with Madigan is up on The LAW website at http://fightnetwork.com/news/31446:review-a-wai-see-no-evil-w-screenwriter-dan-madigan/ and here is an excerpt from the chat regarding an idea Vince McMahon had for Kane’s character, Jacob Goodnight:
I get a call from Gregory Dark, the director. He says, “We’ve got a little problem here.” This call is from Australia. I said, “What’s the problem?” He goes, “Vince has a suggestion about the movie.” I said, “Well, it’s his movie.” He goes, “Vince wants this scene in the movie where Kane’s character pulls out his penis, and he wants it to be three feet long.” I thought there was a connection problem, I said “Greg, can you just back up and repeat that last line for me?” He goes, “Yes, Vince wants Kane’s penis to be three feet long, and none of the producers are saying anything about it.” So I sat there, I go, “Oh, this is not good. This is not good. This is really not good.” In the right movie, that’s genius, that’s absolutely brilliant, but not for this movie.
When the script was finally okayed, they brought someone else in to rewrite me. As a writer, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up; it’s an ego thing to be honest. So, they brought in someone to touch up my stuff. I read their version of my script, and I’ll be honest, it wasn’t good. Every cliche that I purposely wanted to take out, they had put back in

Note from Wayne: I’ve been told by various people in the past that Vince has a rather strange mindset and this goes to prove so, WOW, just WOW!
