Tim White spoiler - I know you can't wait to know.

[Downhome 0]

From PWInsider:

 

WWE recently filmed a vignette with Josh Matthews interviewing former referee Tim White, who is sitting in a chair. In the vignette, Matthews points out that during the Armageddon PPV, White actually dropped the shotgun he was holding and "shot himself in the toe." They go on to show White's bandaged toe.

 

Matthews then asked White if he has any new year's resolutions. At that point, White pulls a box marked Rat Poison into the camera's view, shoves Matthews away and dumps the contents down his throat. To make it comedic, White and the chair tip backwards as the sounds of the poison sliding out of the box are heard.

 

WWE was working on editing and mixing the vignette earlier this week, so it may air as soon as tomorrow night's edition of Smackdown on UPN.

 

Oh boy.

Why didn't they just keep him "dead"?

[Failed Bridge 0]

OMG! Tim White's innards are infested with rats! I will pray for him a very day.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Wow, it's like Groundhog Day, but with Tim White!

Tim White is to Bill Murray as Josh Matthews is to Andie MacDowell?

Suicide is funny shit!

I really think that the person who finds the hilarity in suicide needs some help...

 

But hey, CSI does suicide, so why can't WWE?!?

[Guest Leelee]

I hope one of usual stupid wrestling fans tries one these things, kills himself, and the parent sues WWE.

Watch them say the rat poison was really Vitamin C supplements that his wife put in the only available bottle in the house. He fell back in his chair because chewing a year's worth of the immune system builder was just too much.

Gold!

Someone's never seen 'Better off Dead!' Or 'Harold and Maude.'

[Guest Leelee]

I also have a bad feeling that Kane will somehow get involved in this.

[Ravenbomb 0]

it's cold out, he should wear a parka, like the ones with a hood. Something in a nice orange, perhaps

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Actually this skit rips off "9 to 5" more than anything.

 

So WWE is not only running one suicide skit, but multiple suicide skits. Also the Hell in a Cell is over now....they can stop trying to make it seem devistating by having Tim kill himself. Now there is absolutely no point to it.

My only problem with it is that I think it's retarded on a wrestling show.

I hope that happens also, only where WWE wins. It would just be one less fucktard in the world.

They're not making light of suicide guys. They're making light of attempted-suicide. Attempted-suicide has always been funny.

Actually, any extra Vitamin C is just harmlessly excreted by the body, I think. Other vitamins can cause serious health problems if overused.

 

Vitamin X?

Next they can have him beg Giant Singh to powerbomb him.

You think correctly.

[MillenniumMan831 0]

Yeah, I remember Captain Lou Albano inform viewers of TNT that too much Vitamin C will merely come out via urination. He said this while cramming pumpkin seeds down his mouth so I wasn't sure how credible the source was.

Downhome would make a Memorial .gif of the entire situation.

In Vince's mind this is his way of getting back at Brock Lesnar. Brock supposedly told them if they didn't let him out of his contract he was going to kill himself.

[Angle-plex 0]

Hahaha this is worse than WCW '99. Anything can happen in the WWE I guess.

Shouldn't they have killed Masters then.

Stupid question time.

 

Didn't Vince and Stephanie hear the crowd boo the hell out of the segment at Armageddon and then go silent for the better part of an hour afterwards?

Fans just don't know what is funny.

[CanadianChick 0]

But WWE is here to set them straight!

 

So what's worse: doing this because they think suicide is good comedy material, or doing this to poke fun at a wrestler that no longer works for them and less than 1% of the audience gets the joke?

[Guest Leelee]

What will this gimmick lead to anyway? It's a referee. Will he finally kill himself during some important match... and DRAWMUH will ensue.

[CanadianChick 0]

It'll lead to where the Billionaire Ted skits led to...

 

Nowhere.

He needs to use that one suicide song they constantly use at YTMND as his entrance theme or play it while he's in the act of trying to kill himself.

 

I'm calling right now. He's going to try to blow himself up with a dynamite vest, but it'll turn out to be simple sparkler pyro that accidentally ignites one of Kane's pyros in the process, causing the explosion. Naturally, Tim is unharmed aside from burnt eyebrows. Or even better, he'll do it while in a mine, hundreds of feet underground
