Vincent Kennedy McMahon (RAW Spoilers)
 

Yeah, so that was pretty fucked up. The question now is, where will this go?

My first instinct is that it was suicide. But then I realized they will PROBABLY turn it into a storyline where so-and-so planted the bomb.

But then I thought about the fact that Vince can never appear in public without breaking kayfabe in potentially one of the biggest angles in the last 5+ years, so I'm thinking it was a set up just to get him off-air and out of the people's minds, just to have him return later (probably at Mania) saying that he needed to get out of the public's eye.

Of course, this will probably be dragged out for months with eulogies, burials and the like.

So yeah, what'd everyone think of it and what do you think will happen next?

He will be dead until 1) he gets bored or 2) the writers forget. Either way sometime in the next year or so he'll be back.

Probably a big line of whodunnits etc. It might seem like a dumb angle to many, but I'm intrigued. Its entertainment, and its done exactly what it intended to. It made me want to tune into the next show to see what will happen next.

That being said, I don't see Vince staying out of the public eye forever, so there will probably be some way of brining him back, say in a year or so. Until then, I'm sticking with the presumption of 'No body = presumed dead in the fire' which leads to 'Who killed Vince McMahon'

Alls I'm sayin is, when did Russo leave TNA and go back to WWE?

Seriously, I thought of WCW and there later days right away.

Pretty big occurance just happened tonight. It's got me interested, and I have not been interested in awhile.

He could have bought an island somewhere and plans to hide out, he could do it.

"Alls I'm sayin is," is my catch pharse you bastard.

I liked how there was awkward silence for 10 minutes and then a giant explosion

I've been sayin that for years, I cant help that your brilliant and used it aswell.

I Watched RAW for the first time tonight sense Well....I think Jeff Hardy came back..(Shrugs) and...yeah....Mayhaps I'll watch tommarow and Friday and Next Monday...will see...

Maybe he's really dying, and he wanted a spectacular last appearance?

Hmm... arguments for the fact that Vince McMahon is genuinely dying...

Well, he allowed his head to be shaved bald in the Trump angle... this was to disguise the effects of the chemotherapy.

He started wearing all his old-style loud suit combinations over the last few months again, reliving his past.

His physical involvement in the product has been extremely limited in the time since the DX angle ended, with his contributions even in tag team and handicap matches during the Lashley angle uncharacteristically short and basic.

Somehow he managed to convince Bret Hart to contribute to Raw. Making amends while he still can.

Positioning of Steph and Shane in the hierarchy of the company, in preparation for their taking over.

Killing himself off on his own TV program.

Placing so much emphasis on "anniversaries" of important events and Legends recently, reminiscing about his glories.

Yes, I am now convinced Vince will be dead for real within a year.

Shane did it, he seen his father was losing sanity, and figured it was what was best for the business, Vince would have wanted it that way.

LOL yeah, no body's been found. What you want to bet the disoriented Vince McMahon wandered out into the streets under his own power?

The following is from WWE.com:

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – A night originally designated Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night turned deadly when the WWE Chairman’s limousine burst into a fiery explosion just moments after Mr. McMahon stepped into it. Permanently uprooting the world of sports-entertainment, the Chairman has been presumed dead in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Local authorities stated it was still too early to declare anything as fact, including exactly what caused the explosion, but they described the blast as an apparent “car bombing.” They also revealed that as of 11:30 p.m. EST, no body had been recovered from the incinerated wreckage.

Firefighters were quick to assess the scene, taping off sections of the parking lot to protect scores on onlookers – mostly our fans – from potential injury. Despite the intense heat and ubiquitous clouds of black smoke, countless people spilled out of the arena to get a closer look at the chaos they had just seen happen live on the Titan Tron.

“By the time we arrived on the scene, the entire automobile was on fire,” explained a Wilkes-Barre firefighter on the scene. “It was like an inferno and our guys were doing whatever they could to contain it as quickly as possible. In my 27 years with the fire department, I’ve never seen anything like that.”

The emblazoned limousine was engulfed by flames that reached skyward at estimated heights of more than 50 feet. The sight of the charred debris led to speculation that there was no conceivable way anyone could have escaped from the limo alive. Early assessments from local firefighters and police officers sent a similar feeling regarding the probability of the Chairman’s survival.

“We’re doing our best to respect the McMahon family and the fans of WWE,” the firefighter said. “However, with that said, we have not found anything – there hasn’t been confirmation that Mr. McMahon’s body was extracted from the limo.”

As the physical body of Mr. McMahon remains to be uncovered, perhaps the most perplexing piece to this puzzle is the Chairman’s uncanny, almost clairvoyant premonition of tonight’s grim events. Over the last few weeks on WWE programming, the swaggering, well-off billionaire seemed to unravel right before the eyes of millions. Speaking of a threatening presence that lurked in his foreseeable future, Mr. McMahon even cited the looming of a “black cloud” last week – a cloud very similar to the post-combustive smoke that billowed above his limousine tonight.

Was this evening an eerie prophecy fulfilled for Mr. McMahon, given his recent premonitions? Or was it simply a fateful execution of coincidence? The ominous reality is that what was brushed off as incoherent ramblings of a broken man and former ECW World Champion actually may have proven to be an exercising of a recently discovered sixth sense.

Sources say given the nature of the apparent car bombing, federal authorities may be called in for a more thorough investigation that would supersede local Pennsylvania authorities.

Check back with WWE.com as we continue to follow developments in the most shocking incident in sports-entertainment history.

WAIT! I have a better idea! KANE jumped in to rescue him. Unfortunately, Kane suffered severe burns all over his body. He is now forced to wear a body suit to protect himself.

In an odd twist, Vince McMahon has no visible burns.

They could carry this out in a brilliant angle

Josh Matthews: Mr. McMahon thats not wise

Vince did what Tim White couldn't, he shut Mathews up the first time he said it.

LOL@ WWE.com making "reports" and keeping us updated.

Clearly we have the 2007 Gooker Award Winner here unless someone tries REALLY, REALLY hard to purposely top it.

You people are way too jaded. Yes, this is over the top but its pro wrestling and this is either going to be a huge angle or a huge pile of shit.

Paul Bearer will make his return carrying the urn with the ashes of Vincent K. McMahon in it.

I DID IT....FOR THE ROCK.

I DID IT....FOR THE PEOPLE.

LOL

Imagine if Chris Jericho is revealed as the man who killed VinnieMac...then he says CENA IS NEXT!

*cums*

LOL, holy shit, could you imagine if it turned out to be... Well...

Stephanie: The man :'( who did this to my father will pay! He will not liv-

ALYALAYALLAYAYAYAAAAAAAAA!

:love: Wishful thinking but the Thought made me Happy!!

I hope there's a "Why couldn't it have been Cena" sign next week..

It was Billy Kidman and Eric Bischoff.

Eddie Guerrero did it for the rock.

Could be interesting stuff, considering they just spent entire night having people bash Vince McMahon, could turn out to be a good whodunit type thing. Then again I can't think of one good whodunit in wrestling that ended well.

What a retarded story line ugh.

Finally somebody who is not so jaded or "smarky". I know this is either feast or famine, but you gotta admit it was a shocking "holy shit" moment. If it is a "whodunit" deal, it is doomed because nobody will ever be good enough to be the guy whodunit. Look at the Austin whodunit angle. NOBODY would have been good enough to give closure to the storyline. The only person who could work in this is Bret Hart, Stephanie, or Shane, but 90% of you would bitch that those guys are too obvious.

It was Stevie Richards.

I mean his entrance music "I'll show you, you'll see!"

What exactly was he going to show us?

An EXPLOSION?!?!?!

HUH?!

Stevie Richards blew up Mr. McMahon's limo!

After all it's always the person you least expect.

I think this could be an interesting angle. But knowing WWE, Vince will be back next week with a band-aid on his head.

Yeah, nobody is really good enough, that is the problem. Plus whomever did it would have to go to "jail." Maybe it was God.

Also, think they will do a tribute show if they make him dead? Would be wrong to do fake one when they have done real ones to actually honor people , and this raw was in effect a "tribute" show. Dunno just a thought.

After all these years, he finally gets that push.

Alas it will only lead to Triple H revealing that he was the mastermind behind it all.

Wrestling will always be behind the 8-ball because they have to try and please everybody and that is impossible.

I hope they don't do a full-blown tribute show, but I have a feeling with the body not being found yet that they will still do the whole "is he dead or isn't he?".

Seriously, I know the "I'll show you! You'll see!" thing is a joke, but make it someone like Stevie Richards, Val Venis or Little Guido. They're tired of being overlooked, so they blew up Vince. :lol:

My first reaction to the storyline was "ugh," but whodunnit storylines are pretty interesting when the WWE puts them into practice. It's just the outcome is usually shit (Rikishi running over Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Great Khali taking out the main eventers, etc.). This is the first storyline in a while that has seemed like it could fit in the Attitude era.

If they don't go with someone unexpected (someone unexpected with talent, that it), I think the best option is for it to be either Eric Bischoff or Paul Heyman. Maybe even both? I'd mark out for Heyman trying to get revenge on Vince for ruining ECW.

It will probably end up being Shane, though. Anyway, this is actually a somewhat intriguing storyline. Especially if it keeps Vince away from my TV set for a while. :love:

Oh, and they simply must have Gregory Helms play the non-wrestling character of "Sherlock Helms," and investigate this case.

This incident is the first of its kind since the assassination of political figure Orlando Letelier in Washington, D.C. in 1976. Sources say that given the nature of the apparent car bombing, under law federal authorities will be called in for a more thorough investigation that would supersede local Pennsylvania authorities.

lol

I hope it turns out be Little Guido. Long live The FBI!

It's Steve-O.... They're setting up for Summerslam.

:( You'll probably be right about that.

I know, and it's going to be something stupid too.

Like they were doing a stunt for Jackass with Vince's limo, and Vince showed up early.

It actually fits too, as Steve-O was on the show, and was one of the few guys who apparently didn't say anything bad about Vince. Damn it, it's going to be the Jackass guys. :'(

I'd laugh and probably be slightly intrigued if it turned out to be Harry Smith, TJ Wilson, Nattie Neidhart following orders from Bret Hart. If they are going to go through with that New Hart Foundation storyline, it's a prominent way to introduce them.

But yeah, it's Steve-O.

He'll be on ECW tommarrow with a band-aid on his face.

Hey...I just realized my grandpa's with the Sherrif's department up in Wilks-Barre

Shadow your...never mind...(Shakes head) Its Steve-o...agreeing with that, the more and more I think about it, its Probably Bam Directing with Steve-o acting it all out...(Shrugs)

Wow, all you guys are missing the obvious.

Vince is going to come out next week and say that's how the Sopranos should have ended.

That was the biggest "WHAT THE FUCK" moment I can recall, ever.

Oooo bonus...that could be it....no..no I still think it was Steve-o

It was Wee Man.

Wee Man: MAKE FUN OF MIDGETS EH?! I GOT YOU YOU BASTARD! WHO'S THE LITTLE BASTARD NOW!?

His name is Hornswaggle, damnit!

Okay, okay...dude...weeman is a part of the Jackass crew DUH!!!

I want to kick Weeman in the face.

And Steve-O.

And anyone else on Jackass.

Not gonna lie, this angle has got me hooked. and really creeped out at the ame time. Just seeing the headline Mr.Mcmahon dead creeps the hell outta me. Seriously now. I don't like it.

Wee Man already Kicked himself in the face.

This was the first full RAW I've watched in about a year. And nothing tonight made me think I was missing out on anything UNTIL Vince exploded. I was like WTF and am probably going to tune next week. So they succeeded in luring me back.

Although I'm sure it'll turn into a giant fuck up of an angle pretty soon...but for now, I am intrigued. :y:

I'm going to kick him much, much harder.

Honestly, I hope this doesn't have anything to do with Jackass, as this could be a brillant angle.

Especially since I was starting to feel pity for "crazy Vince", and as he was walking out, it sort of gave off the vibe that he just realized that everyone hated him.

Oh, and if they don't go with it being Jackass, my money is on it being Matt Hardy. It just make sense.

Fiery Limo > Cup of Coffee
 

So, I guess Ashley is officially un-suspended now. :roll:

Why Matt hardy? Beyond the obvious Cluster fuck that was last week

The whole "Presumed Dead" wording has got me thinking that Vince set this whole thing up himself. By faking his "death," everyone will really come forward to say how much they really do/did appreciate him....Thus, proving his point and stroking his ego even more. *Cue "No Chance" and come out strutting with an Ace Bandage around his dome*

LOL! I thought of this the second it happened. Those god damned Arabs and their car bombings.

From the photos it looks like its "dead man walking" and all those wrestlers and staff are suspect.

Domino and Sylvan look really pissed at Vince for some reason. I don't know why Sylvan is pissed, he's only been kept on the roster for how long?

I know it's unrelated, but I assume Sylvain is the one int he black and white trunks? So, who's the guy between Vince and Coach in the third picture? That useless Rodimer fellow I've heard about?

No Triple H took orders from the greater power AKA Vince.

But for real they'll prob turn vince into Cyborg Vince which will be vince with Silver Spraypaint on part og his body and a halr metal suit.

Faarooq did it.

Maria is yummy, by the way.

Am I the only one who thinks that the resolution to this storyline will be something like "They don't appreciate me?! Let's see if they appreciate me when I'm gone!" sort of fake-death setup?

Matthews: Uhhh Mr. McMahon, that's not wise.

McMahon: ........

http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/photos/4413914/40.jpg

Three words - I liked it.

http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/photos/4413914/37.jpg
Patterson: Mmm mm... Could that ass get any hotter?

http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/photos/4413914/40.jpg

Why yes, now that you mention it, it could.

I wonder if perhaps this will fall back on Coach...remember...Vince was gonna go down the other hallway but Coach told him his Limo was the other way.

If it wasnt for Coach then McMahon would of walked down the other hallway instead of going down the right one and getting blown up...

Im gonna be pissed if this is all due to the Jackass crew...

Speaking of Coach, who now is going to run the WWE on-screen? Shane? Stephanie? ECW and RAW (technically) don't even have GMs!

Yeah... but Vince would have noticed eventually anyways.

It's very touchy stuff, trying to make an on-air talent a murderer.

Well if he hadn't let his bitch daughter fire Ariel, she could have conducted seances and learned his wishes! Now they're going to have to get the Undertaker to contact the other si- oh wait, Mark Henry killed HIM, didn't he? CONSPIRACY! Mark Henry is still working for Teddy Long, like he was back in '04! He took out Vince in retaliation for Long being stuck with a co-GM and trying to sabatoge his booty call!

GOD DAMMIT HENRY TOOK OUT KANE TOO!!! Anyone on the WWE roster who could possibly transcend death to reach Mr. McMahon has been taken out!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Just saying everyone makes a deal about vince getting blown up what about the limo driver....or maybe he got tired of the abuse and did it himself....

R:y: V:y: D:y:

Police- "The only piece of evidence we were able to obtain was what appeared to be a bong in the gas tank."

"There appears to have been a large quantity of dynamite under the car. Four Hundred-Twenty pounds, to be precise."

"The body of the limo driver has also yet to be identified, but the limo agency described him as "Suicidal, Homicidal and Geonocidal."

"Also, shortly before the explosion, witnesses reported hearing 'a loud whistle' coming from the passengers side."

"Minutes after the explosion happened, there were reports of a man dressed in face paint and tassels screaming "VINCE WAS A QUEER!" a mile from the scene."

*SUCK SUCK, SUCKSUCKSUCK*!

Translation: I did it, for the Rock! I did it, for the people! I did it, for what the dog is eating!

A large, disturbing-looking bald man was heard to insist "It wasn't my fault!"

Bret Hart will pin McMahon's corpse at Survivor Series. After a while trashing monitors he'll get on the mic and shout "That's a fuckin screw job, that's the Miami screwjob".

WAIT A MINUTE!

VINCE WUZ TEH HYER PWER!

NDURTKERS BRINGIN HM BACKZORS11!!11!111!!LOL

OK, that made me physically ill just typing that way.

I've got it! The Blast threw Vince from the car, and in a dazed and confused state he wandered into the streets of....(Wherever they were last night) And was picked up by a band of homeless Vagrents, who then reconize him for his Grapefruits and will auction him off to the highest Bidder on Ebay, which will be John Cena cause he knows with on Vince's Grapefruits he ain't got a chance in hell of staying the Lime Light......

Okay done now.

It's Daivari. What else could WWE possible do but use their Support The Troops idea with evil arabs blowing cars up? It's gotta have been on their mind.

It could be that Rodimer. I mean, don't Steph want him big time? - well, I think it's a way to introduce him.

But having said that, it'd be wasted on a new person. I think it'd have to be someone well known.

Daivari isnt an Arab but I see where you're going with this

May Young and Moolah barking like dogs beats it hands down.

Also thought Trump vs Rosey O Donnell was worse than this angle as well.

Now that would have been the goods. If Ron Simmons had came out after the explosion, looked at the burning wreck and said his trademark line.

I don't understand how the word DAMN can be concedered a line....its one word, it would get....so much slack in a real work. Oh well what are we to do?

Let's not forget the Iron Shiek was there too. He may have something to do with this.
