McMahon 'Death' Storyline

[Mercury Bullet]

I posted this as a reply to another topic. But I wanted to get it out for people to read more in case you didn't browse that one. I know a lot of people are getting upset with the Vince is Dead storyline because it's a slap in the face to Eddie and Owen, or anybody else that has died thats been involved in wrestling. This is just what I have to say about it.

The more you think about it, this is NOT a slap in the face to Eddie or Owen or anybody that has ever died. This is a completely seperate instance and we, as the viewers, have to understand that and seperate that. Seperate reality from TV, it isn't really that difficult. The same crowd of people that will piss and moan about how awful and disrespectful this is, I'm sure are the same people who grind their teeth everytime they hear a news reporter blame GTA for a school shooting. Seperating fiction from reality, thats all it is. We KNOW Mr. McMahon ISN'T dead. But it's a goddamn storyline and we can come to terms with it without having a hissy-fit.

Again, this is a GODDAMN STORY. It's FICTION. Everytime someone gets gunned down in an action movie it isn't a slap in the face to anyone who has ever been shot and killed. This is the same thing and I think people need to step back and look at the situation.
