Ok, it has to be asked.

I don't really like it. Mostly I think it's stupid. Sure, it gets people talking and all, but meh...not a spot meant for pro wrestling, I don't think.

Sure, "it's just a TV show", but pro wrestling's always had that ability to walk fiction and non-fiction, with the exception of a few of the aforementioned other totally over-the-top angles. Then you always had the WWE claiming, "we don't have guys shoot each other, stab each other [done with Carlito and Cena back in '04, though], etc. etc., etc." Yeah...try claiming that now.

I also hope they realize the impact this has on their credibility for real deaths and the like. Sure, we as wrestling fans should know how it all works, but they do all these things to act like it's real. When all these referenced movie characters died in movies, did their movie deaths make the news? Did they fly flags at half mast for them? Was the next movie made dedicated to their memory?
