Was Eric Sachs originally meant to be The Shredder?

Shredder didn't really do much expect fight the turtles.

Now had Baxter Stockman(Joke here) put on the helmet, and the spikes and became Shredder in the movie, I would have a hard time enjoying the movie. You cant make change for change stake. We all know who Shredder is suppose to be, a ninja underground God Father from Japan. If he was some geeky science dude, I would never had accepted it myself. I still enjoy the movie.

Shredder seemed more like Sach's hired muscle if you ask me...
