The following is in response to this article: http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/surpriseschairmanvigil

To paraphrase and now blatantly copy the old Saturday Night Live skit, "Mr. McMahon is still presumed dead". Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Why, you ask? Well, this angle is turning downright despicable. WWE knows that some fans (bless their souls) believe that Vince really blew up in the limo and, as much as I can't believe I am writing this, are actually mourning his "death". The people who set up a vigil in front of WWE headquarters yesterday were real fans, not plants. Yeah, I know. It scares me too. So, when the company does something like market a autographed Mr. McMahon package on their website with the tag that it may be the last thing he ever signed, which they did yesterday, well that's just downright wrong to me. But, what do I know.

From PWInsider.

LOL, Wow...

(That picture is apparently a fan mourning Vince's death from WWE.com's ECW pictures in case you don't get it.)

But there's no chance that they were sarcastic twit fans?

[James Steele]

:'(

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. "You will always be our chairman." :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

[James Steele]

Oh, it says champion.

[Xero]

LOL, I thought it said "Chairman" at first too.

[Loose Cannon]

Ok, I'll go ahead and just say it.

This is the greatest fucking angle of all-time. lol. are you kidding me?

[BigDaddyCool]

He is still dead to me, damnit...wait, that didn't come out quiet right.

[Theo Dious]

You know what, there are people who think that the shit that goes on on soap operas is real. If someone is so stupid as to think that Vince is really dead, then FUCK THEM, we laugh at them, HA HA HAHA!

THANK YOU! I have been looking for that graphic.

[Loose Cannon]

seriously, I love it. I love all the people who think this is going to far. I hope they push the line about as far as they can push it. I really never thought this would be getting half the reaction it's been getting thus far. I can't wait till Monday. They should start killing of more guys.

[Theo Dious]

I hope they push the line about as far as they can push it.

I hope they buy a plot in a cemetery in Greenwich and plant a real headstone. With a WWE logo, an etched picture of Vince, and a list of his accomplishments (WWE Champion, ECW Champion, Royal Rumble Winner, etc.)

[Xero]

They should kill off the entire McMahon family and have Ted Turner come in and announce that after whoever the last McMahon to die is he was to take over the company. Even for one or two shots where he puts Bischoff in charge.

[owenbrown]

I may actually have to start watching again... this is GOLD! :rofl:

[Amaroqwolf]

Yes at the end of each RAW we can blow somebody else up....next Week Triple H.

[Xero]

I hope they buy a plot in a cemetery in Greenwich and plant a real headstone. With a WWE logo, an etched picture of Vince, and a list of his accomplishments (WWE Champion, ECW Champion, Royal Rumble Winner, etc.)
But it's not a headstone. It's a giant statue of Vince holding the ECW championship.

Then when he returns they can have pissed off talent or whoever go out and pull it down like Saddam's statue.

[owenbrown]

I hope they buy a plot in a cemetery in Greenwich and plant a real headstone. With a WWE logo, an etched picture of Vince, and a list of his accomplishments (WWE Champion, ECW Champion, Royal Rumble Winner, etc.)

They probably already have. :shifty:

[Theo Dious]

Seriously, Linda should be killed in a drunk driving incident after she falls into a depression, Shane should commit suicide by jumping off the Smackdown fist, and Stephanie should die in an "undisclosed sexual misadventure."

[owenbrown]

Yes at the end of each RAW we can blow somebody else up....next Week <s>Triple H</s> John Cena.

[Amaroqwolf]

and Stephanie should die in an "undisclosed sexual misadventure."

You mean she could die by getting her nose...never mind...I'm gonna quit While I'm ahead....

:kiss:

[Amaroqwolf]

John Cena Works for me...(Shrugs)

[owenbrown]

Seriously, Linda should be killed in a drunk driving incident after she falls into a depression, Shane should commit suicide by jumping off the Smackdown fist, and Stephanie should die in an "undisclosed sexual misadventure."
Steph is gonna have a lesbian affair with Lita? :?:


















































:shifty:

[Amaroqwolf]

I;ve got 4 words for you.....Lita, Strap On, Dom.

[Arnold HamNegger]

VKM (TNA) should start showing up at places like this memorial and start cutting promos that they are the ones that blew up the limo. A picture of a crying mark would be priceless and the publicity for them could be gold. :lol:

[Kane Knight]

I wish I had thought of this. A vigil outside Titan Towewrs would have been hilarious.

[Theo Dious]

LOL, a TPWW vigil would be awesome.

:y:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I;ve got 4 words for you.....Lita, Strap On, Dom.

That's hot.

[Kane Knight]

LOL, a TPWW vigil would be awesome.

Think we should father with "It's still real to us, Dammit!" signs, or would that break KAYFABE?

[Kane Knight]

I;ve got 4 words for you.....Lita, Strap On, Dom.

That would work. Most men don't pay attention to the top as much as the bottom.

[Amaroqwolf]

That's hot.


The Scarey thing WWKD, you said the same thing the LAST time I said that over a year ago! LMAO!:rofl:

[Arnold HamNegger]

Think we should father with "It's still real to us, Dammit!" signs, or would that break KAYFABE?

We should hire the original "It's still real to me" guy to give a crying eulogy and spazz out, as a live feed is spliced directly on the main page of WWE.com

[James Steele]

LC, I am glad to know somebody around here isn't jaded.

[Kane Knight]

:rofl:

[James Steele]

UPDATED SIG!!!

[KingofOldSchool]

ROFL at the random Eugene bear

[What Would Kevin Do?]

The Scarey thing WWKD, you said the same thing the LAST time I said that over a year ago! LMAO!:rofl:

Fine, ignore the "That's hot" comment, and pretend I said "I'd buy that for a nickel."

[Amaroqwolf]

Alright, fair enough I will WWKD.

[FourFifty]

If I lived near Titan Towers I'd have posted a sign.....
"FROM THE IWC- THANK YOU!"





Take it how you will *<strike>post</strike>shurgs*

[KingofOldSchool]

They need to do a Vince McMahon tribute package set to the song "You Start The Fire" which was used for Bret Hart years ago.

[rob11]

Yes at the end of each RAW we can blow somebody else up....next Week...John Cena.

He wouldn't sell the explosion:shifty:

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I hope they buy a plot in a cemetery in Greenwich and plant a real headstone. With a WWE logo, an etched picture of Vince, and a list of his accomplishments (WWE Champion, ECW Champion, Royal Rumble Winner, etc.)

That would be amazing.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

He wouldn't sell the explosion:shifty:

Why the ":shifty:"? Fuck me, if you saw The Marine he no sold a billion explosions.

[Corkscrewed]

Yes at the end of each RAW we can blow somebody else up....next Week Triple H.
Then we'd know the WWE reads C-Fedding, since I killed off about four or five people in the three weeks I was in charge of writing NCW. :shifty:

[Mercury Bullet]

He wouldn't sell the explosion:shifty:

He'd get in the limo, *BOOM*!!!!

The door swings open, he steps out a little ashy and aggrivated, kicks the door and then puts the limo in the STFU.

[IC Champion]

LOL

[Mercury Bullet]

Then he'd get a "controversial" reaction as he parades around the parking lot hoisting the spinner belt in the air and declaring that "The Champ is Here".

[RGWhat316]

All of this is still unbelieveable and funny. I would really shit myself if someone drove all the way from Texas to Conneticut just to pay tribute like they said.:rofl:

[rob11]

Why the ":shifty:"? Fuck me, if you saw The Marine he no sold a billion explosions.
Well, there is the problem:lol:

[rob11]

He'd get in the limo, *BOOM*!!!!

The door swings open, he steps out a little ashy and aggrivated, kicks the door and then puts the limo in the STFU.
And of course it would tap out.

[Shadow]

Poor Limotron

[TerranRich]

Did anyone else notice the WWE pic with the teddy bear at the very bottom, that reads "VMK"?

I'm telling you, marks are idiots. I know a while ago people brought up the difference between "smarks" and marks, and said that all smarks are basically marks.

This proves otherwise.

[RVDmark]

Steph is gonna have a lesbian affair with Lita? :?:

:shifty:

"Undisclosed Sexual Misadventure"

Lita botches bad in this XXX girl on girl unintentional snuff film.

[#1-norm-fan]

So what if some people actually believe it's real. That's no reason not to do the angle. That's a reason for someone to seriously step into these people's lives whether they are little kids or just mentally retarded adults and break the news that it's all just a show. The rest of us shouldn't have to go without one of the great angles in the history of wrestling because of these people.

Fatherless Day for Shane & Stephanie
By Mike McAvennie
Written: June 15, 2007

Sunday marks Father’s Day in many countries around the world. This year, however, the world of sports-entertainment finds itself without its patriarch, who is presumed dead following a limousine explosion Monday night, moments before Raw ended. On a more important and personal note, Shane and Stephanie McMahon will not be able to celebrate the individual whom our fans and Superstars called Mr. McMahon, the childhood sweetheart whom Linda lovingly acknowledged as her husband—or the man they’ve known their entire lives simply as “Dad.”

On a day when restaurants book family dinner reservations to capacity, the McMahons will mourn privately in their respective households. In those same homes, coffee mugs with “World’s Greatest Dad” etched into ceramic will remain inside their cupboards, while porcelain cups and saucers are used to welcome the relatives and friends who drop by and pay their respects.

Neither Shane nor Stephanie have been seen around WWE World Headquarters in Stamford this week. They’re not replying to e-mails relating to business, nor are they answering phone calls from nosy reporters. Their only comments come from a statement released at a press conference in Stamford on Wednesday. And after their sudden, tragic loss, it’s completely understandable.

It is not our place to claim that anyone’s personal loss is greater than another’s. But consider how Shane and Stephanie must head into Father’s Day grieving with two families. There’s the family that together spent summer vacations and holidays, attended school plays, graduations and weddings. Then there’s the competitive unit that gets together to prepare for WrestleMania and every other WWE pay-per-view, that dominates inside the squared circle and at the business table, transforming a territory-based promotion into a sports-entertainment dynasty.

Mr. McMahon was known as an avid weight-trainer, as evidenced by the April 2006 cover and feature inside Muscle & Fitness magazine. Now Shane and Stephanie must provide a very different strength for their loved ones. The sports-entertainment industry grieves for no one, not even Mr. McMahon, so now it’s up to his children to help their CEO mother shoulder the responsibilities inherent within a billion-dollar company.

On a smaller yet vastly more significant scale, Shane and Stephanie must provide those same shoulders for their own young children to cry on. They must find the words to tell them that their grandfather won’t be visiting their homes this Father’s Day. That he won’t be over to enjoy a backyard catch, or partake in an imaginary tea party. Whatever else you knew about the man, know that the one label he valued most before his seeming demise was not that of “WWE Chairman,” but of “grandfather.”

The only cards found in the McMahon mailbox this weekend will be those of greatest sympathy; the only presents, fruit baskets and floral condolences. Shane and Stephanie McMahon no longer get to enjoy the privileges that Father’s Day offer.
