Vanhalen 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 my boss comes up to me at work today and goes, "Hey you hear Vince McMahon died on RAW and the FBI are investigating, Pretty crazy shit, eh?" Me: "Uh dude, its a story line, they taped it Sunday." Boss: "Are you sure, WWE.com reported...." *HEAD EXPLODED* See, this is exactly my point. Three people at work have asked me about the angle today alone, its an absolutly perfect angle, even tho it is the very definition of hot-shotting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 It'll be the perfect angle if the follow up convinces the people who tune into Raw off of it to pay for a PPV or two. It's got people talking, which is step one. Step two is getting those people who wouldn't otherwise tune to tune in and stay tuned in, to see the next part of the angle. Step three is getting those viewers to pay for a PPV or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 The better way for this to have happened was for Vince to get in the Limo and drive off and never be seen from again. Missing Vince > Dead Vince Imagine, WWE could plaster signs up "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BILLIONAIRE? IF SO CALL 1-888-FINDVKM" WWF could hire a few guys to dress up as Vince and wander around the country..and provide "photo" ops of Vince for RAW.. Then they rip off the Foley lost in Cleveland angle with Vince living as a bum somewhere.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 Oh boy, from WWE.com: Lead investigator to address media Thursday By Corey Clayton Written: June 13, 2007 WWE.com received word that the lead federal investigator in the Mr. McMahon limousine-explosion case will release a statement Thursday to bring the media up to speed on the investigation and its progress. Mr. McMahon is presumed dead after his limo exploded outside the Wachovia Arena in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Monday night after Raw. McMahon was seen on live television entering the vehicle moments before the explosion consumed the car. No body has been recovered yet from the burned-out vehicle. Investigators combed Mr. McMahon’s private office at WWE headquarters early Wednesday, searching for any clues or information that would aid in the case. They took many boxes of evidence from the building, as well as McMahon’s personal computer. The site of Monday’s explosion is still cordoned off by investigators as a crime scene.

Scroby 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 So one odd thing I noticed about the Limo was that it had no back window. When the camera showed a shot of the limo from the back, the top was just a solid white, no window at all. I'm sure that has nothing to do with the limo exploding, but it made me think something was gonig to happen just because I've never seen a limo without a back window. Plus I'm thorwing Mean Gene's name into the hat for who did it. Are we going to take bets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I BELIEVE he is a federal guy!! Elsewhere on the site it appears they canceled, i mean POSTPONED the supplemental draft until SUNDAY. Meaning they are so obsessed on working on the storyline that everyone outside and in wrestling fandom is ridiculing them for and will NOT draw money, that they dont have time for planning on the future of, what do you call them? oh yeah, the employees that people pay to see.

You sure know that their future is planned a long time before, they're just postponing announcing it. That "Vince is dead" angle is really in all the news, the draft would go by unspotted, except for the smarks. So, I find the postponing of the supplemental draft a smart move.

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 "It`s me Austin, it was me all along Austin!~" Actually I`m quite glad they`ll explore the “whodunit” angle. It should make for some interesting television if done correctly. My main suspects would have to be either Vince himself or Triple H. i never got the its me austin line, austin already knew vince was the higher power, he saw his face the week before on raw. anyhow kinda interesting angle here that I totally did not expect. but what if Vince really did die during this angle by natural causes. how would"they explain that on tv "well you know this vince blow up thing is a wrestling angle, but vince really did die today Im surprised vince even knows about the sopranos since hes usually oblivious to current pop culture (ie Paul Birchills pirate gimmick). even though I have no real problem with the sopranos ending since my fav character (Paulie) survived.
