The Sparrow

Ok a quick poll to see what people think about whether the MR. McMahon character is actually dead and will be never seen again or whether he will turn up on next weeks RAW.

Clearly that is why wwe.com is stressing that no body was found?!;)

From WWE.com:

STAMFORD, Conn. – After Monday’s horrific events on Raw, those “dark clouds” the Chairman once spoke of are now felt prominently in the halls and offices of WWE headquarters.

With Mr. McMahon presumed dead, the corporate flag on the roof of Titan Tower was lowered to half-staff Tuesday morning. The company McMahon built into a sports-entertainment giant began to mourn the passing of its leader and visionary.

Many WWE staffers are still suffering from the trauma of seeing their corporate leader’s limousine explode on live television just after Mr. McMahon entered it.

“I sat there stunned, not believing what I just saw,” said marketing employee Stefanie Granata. “Then I just cried. … you just don’t realize how precious life is until something like this happens.”

Though federal officials at the scene have not recovered his body from the charred chassis of the limo, investigators believe that Mr. McMahon’s body could possibly have been incinerated in the blast.

Some WWE employees wore black clothing to express their sadness. Others have left flowers by the Chairman’s office door. And if you listen closely, faint sobbing can be overheard occasionally amongst the din of the phones, fax machines and printers.

Heather Lubin, a long-time marketing employee, said the loss is being felt hard around the Stamford offices – mostly because of the unexpected, unexplained nature of the tragedy.

“It’s hard to cope with this tragedy when there’s so many questions unanswered,” Lubin said. “Who could do such a thing to Mr. McMahon?”

As for Liz Montgomery, a WWE creative services employee, she hopes that everyone can come together and help each other cope with the shocking loss of the company’s heart and soul.

“He’ll be truly, truly missed,” Montgomery said. “Wherever he is now, I hope it’s in a good place. But we’re going to miss him terribly.”



See! His body was INCINERATED. WWE..com never lies.

I love this angle.

Ah the key words you are ignoring are "could possibly"

Actually after reading that, I love this angle too!

“I sat there stunned, not believing what I just saw,” said marketing employee Stefanie Granata. “Then I just cried. … you just don’t realize how precious life is until something like this happens.”

Indeed. Only when you see a guy get blown up in his car do you begin to realise how precious life is.

That's Mick Foley crying cos he'll never get to work that angle with Vince that he's sought for so long!

Vince135792003

I think Papa Shongo needs to come back and raise Vince from the dead with Hogan, Hart, Ashley, Turner and Sheiky holding hands in solemn prayer by his bedside.

I think Vince should haunt the WWE if he is supposedly dead... Randomly during a match he could strike down the ref or the babyface or whatever with bolts of lighting. Or perhaps if he is actually dead we can finally have Vince McMahon versus God! (In a cage! In a cage!)

Here's some comments from another wrestling forum. Some fans are so stupid:

I hope its an angle. I wonder what will happen if Vince is dead

I hope this is an angle. I dislike Mr McMahon, but i would be saddened if he was really dead. Any confirmation as to whether he is alive or dead?

i think it;s an angle

I have no clue what to think about what happen last night. I was shocked as hell when i saw it. if it is an angle then its a bad one. If its true. OMFG

Great comment then from the Mod:

Why are people even questioning if it's real or fake?

How old are you all 8?

Minto

Personally, I think somehow it'll turn out that it was a suicide attempt or that he faked his own death to see if the fans really appreciated him. I really wanna see where this angle leads!

Fair enough if kids believe it but look at this:

Radio Station Reports Vince McMahon Is Really Dead
Date Added: June 12, 2007
Story By: Ryan Gray
Ken Curige passed along the following report to PWInsider.com:

Quote:

In a "wow, I don't believe some people are fooled" moment, I was driving to work this morning and a local Connecticut radio station ( Kiss 95.7 ) was doing their daily "Hollywood Report" segment.

Basically the segment is a gossip page speaking about what's going on in Hollywood. This morning the segment reported the following, "In a scary moment, on live TV last night, Vince McMahon, the President of Stamford based WWE was killed when his limousine exploded on live TV. I would assume an investigation is in the works, but we'd like to send our condolences to his family and friends."

They then spoke for a minute or so about how that clip will probably become internet banter on sites like YouTube and whatnot, and they even spoke about "that wrestler who fell a few years ago", I can only assume they meant Owen Hart.

At first I thought it was tongue in cheek, but amazingly enough they were actually serious, which is scary.

I'm not sure if other places are reporting it as well, but I've been asked several times at work thus far today about "What happened to Vince last night?", all by non-wrestling fans.

If this is the publicity they want, I guess they're getting it, but why they'd want that kind of publicity is beyond me.

EDIT: There are 24 people viewing the wrestling forum right now. I've never seen it this high. Its a small indicator maybe of the type of interest it could get. Or it could all just die in a week.

That's what I was thinking too, seems like the likely type of storyline. But then again ya never know!

There not gonna have a tribute show like they have done for Eddie and Owen in the past though are they??....that would be a complete joke!

Mr. McMahon will never be a character on WWE TV again

I was listening to the Bryan and Vinny Show on www.f4wonline.com earlier, it was gas the way they went on. I think they might be onto something when they had a moment of realisation and thought that maybe it was a Steve-O Jackass stunt

Before the car actually blew up, I was thinking it would be the last time we'd ever see Vince (at least as a character). But now I'm thinking he'll be back, but not for a long time. He'd been off tv for ages before he came back last year, so it's not unthinkable that he could stay off tv for that long

If WWE are going to continue to play it this serious, they'll have to do a 10-bell salute tonight, but that's sort of going a bit far I think

Yeah I was laughing myself when I heard that theory. Steve-O was planning on blowing himself up and stupid Vince stepped into the wrong limo. Not the worst idea ever.

It would be a fitting way to kill off the character now that I think about it. Vince got fired - literally!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that the plan is to do a "Who killed Vince?" angle which will be the focal point of their tv for the foreseeable future. I don't really have an appetite for that, since they usually mess up anything like that. And if they find the person, the only logical conclusion is for them to go to jail. WWE.com have listed Snoop Dogg as a potential suspect

Oh I do if they can do it right.

Fozzy

If they do it right then I don't mind, but how will they do it right?! It'll probably descend into a comic farce, which may be entertaining in its own right, but I just don't see it being done right

doubt he's really dead...otherwise there would have been an interview with some of the family


possible scenario.....
shane takes over goes power mad for a few months...Vince comes back and sorts him out


it was kinda done before with the corparate ministry but.......could be interesting

What is right though?

No matter how they go about it some will be really into it or some will hate it. Its that kind of an angle.People will watch though, at least short term.


I just want to see Brisoco and Patterson getting a weekly segment showing up at random houses interrogating people from Bret Hart to Hogan to Ashley.

Gerard.C

It was the camera men. Why else would they zoom in on the explosion form several different angles? They've obviously been looking for a main event push for some time now, and felt blowing up the chairman was the way to go about it. I hope poor Shane kicks their butts!!

R.I.P VINCE, I'LL LOVE YOU ALWAYS.

I second this idea. Vince if your reading (from Heaven) please do this!

flahavaj

It was obviously Rikishi.....he did it for the Rock!

Or else the one you least suspect like Lisa Simpson: so Eugene will be shown limping away from the arena, a la Kaiser Sousee only to start walking normally after a few blocks, a maniacal grin spreading slowly across his face......Eugene as the evil genius who fooled us all would be the greatest storyline EVER.

Well that was the beginning of the end of Dallas when they did the "Bobby died but it was all a big dream angle" so lets hope not.

A side note, I heard Dave Meltzer go on a 20 minute rant about the "Booby angle". He (and he wasn't the only one ) never watched the show again after they basically screwed people for a year by having him return.

Stalfos

Ah he'll be back by the end of the year i'd say. Could prove to be a good angle for a heel turn. It's always good to have one of those "how killed who" stories. Yeah thinking back to the Austin one, was kinda dum to have rikishi do it. Hopefully Foley will be on the case again. Should be fun. I'd say he did it himself anyway.

A fan who was at the arena reported seeing Vince leave the arena so it looks like it was all storyline... Thank God for that. I thought he really got blown up on live TV...:rolleyes:

Fozzy

One of the things I'm looking forward to most about this is when they get Patterson and Brisco, or Mick Foley, or Umaga to start investigating who killed Vince. They have all these stories on their website about federal agents examining every detail of Vince's office and dusting for fingerprints, but what's the bets that they conclude nothing and it's some wrestler who figures it out? Like the mild-mannered reporter, Gregory Helms
