Play It Out: Vince McMahon dies in a plane crash after Crown Jewel
 

Returning to America on his private jet on November 3rd, 2018 the legendary promoter Vincent Kennedy McMahon will lose his life in a plane crash. A small team of writers will also be on the jet.

This will leave the WWE without it's guiding force. However, business is business and the show must go on etcetera etcetera etcetera.

MONDAY NIGHT NOVEMBER 5TH: What happens?

For reference:

Nothing changes; all shows would have been 95% booked by then.

And the people left with the ball care about that? I can't imagine the scripted promos surviving when the writing team and Vince are both dead.

They would be in autopilot for a solid 2 months. Nothing would change.

Add some tribute and videos of people crying.

MEMORIAL SHOW MONDAY NIGHT RAW in honor of Vince. We'll see a documentary within a couple of months, might be worth a shit.

I think the scripting will pretty much go away day 1. I don't know anything about Triple H the booker, although I'm told he does good work with NXT? Is that accurate?

Triple H literally assumes the throne as the king of kings...…...for one week.

And Vince shows up next week like nothing happened.

Vince Vaughn?

They plan a Memorial for the next episode of Raw...only for Daniel Bryan to have gone loco and offed Brie and Birdie.

Why would Vince be on a different plane than Triple H??

Stephanie would be in charge of Women Wrestling Entertainment, and book herself as the champ.

Prices per barrel of oil exported from Saudi Arabia instantly plummet in light of the news as Vince will no longer need it to pomade his hair. :shifty:

Because he paid for the hit or had a parachute.

I think it will be a huge show, possibly bigger than wresltlemania with all the superstars past and present including his whole family just remembering Vince segments. If not this week, it would be the next week.

Vince comes back two weeks later after someone on the roster actually dies. Deja-vu all over again.

Rikishi comes out on Monday night and says he did it for The Rock.

What if he comes back, but it wasn't a work, and instead he's half-machine and half-human now?

Isn't Rikishi dead?

Still alive and teaching his sons the art of the stink face since day one ish.

I'm surprised. I haven't heard of him in forever.

They usually alude to him being The Uso’s Dad during their matches.

That explains a lot.

Shane McMahon enters the Royal Rumble and dedicates his performance to his father. He wins and goes on to WrestleMania to defeat both WWE & Universal Champions at the same time.

Stephanie McMahon enter the Women's Royal Rumble and dedicates his performance to her father. She wins and goes on to WrestleMania to defeat both the RAW & SD Champions at the same time.

Triple H challenges both Shane & Stephanie for all 4 titles and wins them all. Retires in 2050 with all 4 belts.

You're the only person who played the game.

Uncle Rod McMahon comes out to challenge ownership of the family business.

Would be fun.

Destor is right, nothing would change. You might see production change slightly if they move along Kevin Dunn, but Michael Hayes will likely still be the head agent and/or head of creative. Triple H might appreciation some pro-wrestling fundamentals a bit more, but he's also pandering to a crowd in NXT that will watch his show (and that's not enough people to make it profitable). Therefore, I'd expect more main roster Triple H than backstage dad Triple H. Especially when the wheels begin to fall off after fatigue of creating 5+ hours (much more than 5, really) of content each week begins to set in. Expect more Billy Gunn beating The Revival and Triple H cross-chopping and looking like a bad-ass.

Michael Hayes is dead. All the people who did writing are dead.

Oh, my mistake. Yeah, I don't think anything would change.

Actually, given that Triple H and Shane McMahon would be dead, Stephanie would get the reigns, and that would be awful.

Shane isn't dead.

I don't know that Triple H is dead in this scenario either. It's basically the Main writers/Creative team and Vince.

Is Triple H writing scripts? Is Shane?

Well since Saudi Arabia would have just started World War 3 by killing one of Donald Trump's Cabinet members' husbands I'd have to assume at Wargames they'd be doing some sort of America vs. Towel Heads match.

Probably same thing at Survivor Series since Donald Trump would be leading the WWE against the world at this point. It'd probably be Kurt Angle's team vs. Jinder Mahal's terrorist team.

The price of the WWE Network would skyrocket.

I'd be hopeful that Trump would bring in Vince Russo on creative but who knows.

Trump would probably have Stephanie McMahon continue to empower women across the world by posing for Playboy.

Strange assumption. Vince's plane crash showed no evidence of foul play.

Or did it

Nah, it didn't. However, it appears that Rikishi was the pilot.

Okay, now go.

Replace the member of Trump's cabinet part with a journalist from the Washington Post and my assumption remains the same

I don't understand why Trump takes over WWE in your scenario.
