verticalzero Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 The Chairman of WWE Mr. McMahon, his Limo blew up on Monday night's "Raw" as soon as he got in and closed the door.

bigstevet07 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Please tell me no one thinks he is actually dead. If it were real, don't you think it would be all over the media and not just WWE? As for whether or not I like it, I guess I have to see where they are going with this. If they are making it some kind of revenge plot one of the wrestlers had against Vince, then that would be ok. On the other hand, if they make it like Vince is dead and is now haunting WWE, (a la the phantom), then it would be the worst angle EVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 The WWE to me is just a big ass soap opera for guys. I watched it one night and it was more soap opera than wrestling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edh Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 From Wikipedia: On June 11, 2007, WWE aired a segment at the end of RAW that featured McMahon (in character) entering a limousine moments before it exploded. The show went off-air shortly after, and WWE.com reported the angle as though it were a legitimate occurrence, proclaiming that McMahon was "presumed dead."[5] Although this was the fate of the fictional Vince McMahon character, no harm came to the actual person (that is, his death was part of a storyline).[6][7] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadley Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I do watch wrestling, (mainly TNA over on Spike TV and Ring Of Honor), and I know it's an angle, and know that nobody is really dead, here's why it's all going down as told to me by a friend who worships WWE. - In real life, most will remember back in April at Wrestlemania McMahon lost his hair as a stipulation in a match to Donald Trump. What I'm told is that it was an angle they went with since McMahon would be undergoing chemotherapy for an unspecified form of cancer. Basically, use it to their advantage. - Next was the long, drawn out feud between McMahon and wrestler Bobby Lashley, (who was the wrestler who caused McMahon to lose his hair in the angle). - Then, this past Monday night was the killing off of McMahon for the reason of him needing an unspecified amount of time to deal with the cancer. At this time, it is being said that McMahon may never return to the business, but retire and lay low from here on out. - His younger daughter Stephanie, (who is married to WWE superstar Triple H) is expected to assume her dads role very soon. - As of earlier today, I saw for myself over on http://www.sescoops.com that the WWE is planning to drop this whole "McMahon death" angle ASAP due to the controversy it's been causing with people who think it was pretty unnecessary, or like myself, just plain disgusting. Another factor was the real life death of former womens champion Sherri Martel yesterday (6/15/07) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because it's freaking fake, just like everything else in the WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmereStars Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 WWE isn't what it used to be anymore, too bad... the stories they come up with are just stupid... i'm glad they don't air Raw anymore here in holland... we do have TNA, also stupid stories but better wrestling...

Chadley Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 BIcoastal kid said: So basically, to summarize, "The 'killed' him because saying he was ill wasn't macho enough for the audience"? You nailed it! If you know about the true life ego of Vince McMahon then you know this attitude isn't a stretch. I think the only reason I find it disgusting is, (Yes, I do realize it's FAKE!) it was really an unnecessary extreme to go to for a "wrestling" show. You don't turn on wrestling with the thought that somebody will be blown up in their car. Someone getting cracked with a steel chair, yeah! My son is none the wiser to this whole thing though. He was already in bed, (which is a good thing since the kid is totally freaked out by fire, fireworks, explosions, etc. even if they are on TV!).

verticalzero Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 I know it's fake but still fun to watch, esp the "backstage" area's. ------------------------------------------- I have longed for a video game to give this freedom of interaction, climb the Titan-tron and dive off, stack tables / set them on fire and powerbomb someone. Custom entrance with lasers and fireworks. Large interconnecting backstage areas with " climb everything you see, put someone through a lounge / door window". I have sent email's to "Yucks" the Smackdown PS2 developer to "ask them for more interaction in the ring area and backstage". TNA has "Sting" and most of the members of the old WCW. Bill Goldberg for TNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only say this angle disgusts me, its shameful, and well... its symbolic in a way of the death of the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
