Mr. McMahon "dead" - Now for the "whodunit" angle.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

How about this:

 

- Someone else really did plan the explosion. Let's say, Shane, along with Coach and a handful of the wrestlers and personnel. They were sick of Vince, and wanted to take over. Vince found out in advance, but decided to play along and make it look like he really was blown up. So, he managed to fake it (I have no idea how, but WWE would come up with something), and comes back later after a long vacation being a genetic jackhammer in Tahiti, or something.

It was Sid. Sid did it.

Why would he play along with it?

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Because he realized everyone really did hate him, and after getting his ass kicked by Lashley, decided he needed a break from running the company.

Remember when Kane was thrown into an exploding dumpster by Shane a few years back?. than the following week he showed up on Raw with only minor bruises and a bandage rapped around his waist.

 

yeah. I could see McMahon showing up next week. manipulaing the wrestlers, making 3 on 1 or 4 on 1 matches till he finds out who did it than in the final segment on the show, he reviels he staged the whole thing himself. I could see WWE doing somthing stupid like that.

I think WWE is smart enough to realize this is a huge angle they can milk for weeks, if not months. I mean, look at the RAW thread from last night, and how much conversation was generated in there, compared to a typical episode.

i dunno if anyone else noticed but when vince went into the limo, his leg was visable under the door. He lifted his leg as if he was going to close the door but then his leg was visable again under the door until finally he closed the door.

 

I think it was lashley! after all, he did screw lashley for the ecw title about a month ago, and then last night, it was him!

[JimmyHendricks 0]

Yeah, but most of it was sarcastic jokes, making fun of the whole deal.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

Lashley did it when he found out Vince was going to have him wrestle six times last night. When that didn't happen, he wanted to disarm the bomb - only to be then stripped of the ECW title - so he was like "fuck him".

Am I the only one concerned about the condition of the limo driver?

There wasn't one, duh. Vince opened his own limo door, that's evidence enough.

 

And Verne Gagne's not dead, whoever said he was rolling in his grave.

Maybe this is all just the plot for the next season of 24.

Is there anywhere that I can watch this episode (episode?) online?

 

Well, the end scene is here:

WWE is still lame as ever, I see.

I wonder who took it down. Vince is dead.

[Taker666 0]

It was the "Legend Killer" Randy Orton.

 

what a way to make a name for yourself by killing the biggest legend of them all. Vince McMahon.

Finally, a joke that isn't just a regurgitated catchphrase.

 

And to quote Jerry Lawler:

"When Vince dies, I wonder if the mourners will outnumber the cheering section."

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.”

Yeah, cause if heaven existed, Mr. McMahon would truely go there.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

There might be quite the good place in McMahonism.

[Guest droptoehold]

well maybe now his match with god can happen

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

I hope that at random points during matches, an image of Vince McMahon's head looking down from the clouds appears on screen.

I hope everyone wears black "VKM" armbands next Monday. Maybe Coach can get into a match where he ends up screaming VINCE every 5 minutes.

That press release was hilarious.

 

Vince's death, the (if it were real, obviously) biggest moment in wrestling history, summised to basically "The man who created this entire company and shaped wrestling to where it is today is presumed dead. Tune into RAW next Monday night for more details!" Can't wait until next week, when they push the angle again in the preview, but even during this time of deep sorrow remember to remind us that WWE Champion John Cena will be in the house, 9 p.m. ET/8C~!

 

 

*Obligatory "it was Bret Hart and now he's going to lead the Invasion" joke.*

Who killed Vince:

 

Jim Belushi-Like he wouldn't.

 

Coach-Tired of being Vince's lapdog, wants control.

 

Eugene-He is Kaiser Soze.

 

DX-They need a reason for JR to say "That damn DX" again.

 

JR-For the firing and humiliation he recieved throughout the year.

[Downhome 0]

Has WWE called him "Vince" a single time yet in any of these press releases?

[Cheech Tremendous 0]

I suspect it was Cheatum. He has a historty with this kind of stuff.

Thanks, I just spewed Coke all over my monitor.

Bold prediction: Next week, the show starts with Vince waking up in the shower. Turns out the past 20 years have all been 'a dream' and it's really June 1987. The current roster gets a makeover, impersonating the roster of 1987 and Vince lives his dream of truly re-writing history. The WWE consists of everybody rehashing old angles from years past...

 

 

...well, okay, so that part's redundant.
