R.I.P Mr. McMahon

It's a hoax you really shouldn't believe what you see on Raw.....



WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Did Vince McMahon, who’s bluffed and blustered his way into the ringmaster’s role of the testosterone-fueled soap opera that is professional wrestling, really fall for the old bomb-in-the-limo trick?


Though World Wrestling Entertainment would have you believe otherwise, the answer is no.

“No one was in any danger,” said Steve Poremba of Monday night’s WWE RAW spectacle at the Wachovia Arena, though he would not elaborate until WWE had sent out a news release.

Despite articles on the wrestling federation’s Web site that firefighters and federal agents are investigating, workers at the Luzerne County 911 Center confirmed that it was “a stunt” and that no emergency vehicles were called to the arena on Monday night.

FBI officials have not yet returned a call.

But fans from across the country have been contacting local media to confirm reports that McMahon, the chairman of the board of WWE, was blown up in a fiery limo-bombing on his very own “Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night,” which was televised on USA Network. McMahon had walked out of the building to the waiting vehicle, so fans inside the arena saw the same televised live scene.

Only it was wasn’t live. Supervised by Zenith Pyrotechnology, based in Deer Park, N.Y., the explosion was actually filmed at the arena late Saturday night, the footage of the burning hulk taped Sunday night and the whole mess spliced together, said Andy Kratz, the township’s zoning officer.

“They did it, I believe, at 11 o’clock at night until 3 a.m. so no one would be around,” he said, adding that it was done in a section generally blocked from public view by the building and surrounding land features.

The pyrotechnics company had to get permits, which Kratz said they did about a week ago. “We have pyrotechnics shows in the arena all the time” for wrestling and ice skating, among other things, he said. “They say they do this quite a bit,” but usually not outside.

Don't worry bud, we have all been 16 once, and I remember how much I used to get sucked into wrasslin' back in the day!

 

if he is dead more like he died of steriods.

I remember him from the eighties when he was just an interviewer. Nobody can get that big that fast. he was HUGE. no way....

 

Anybody remember Jerry Lawyer, Bill Dundee, Coco Rich, and Boogy Woogy Man Jimmy Valaint? Memphis wrestling!!! Now that was good stuff. Back then the biggest thing was talking smack and couple of blows to the head, now their doing double back flips, landing on tables with their heads, and blowing up limos. Things have changed.

 

The fans have changed, they want more and more as generations get wilder and wilder. wrestling has always been fake.

when i was a kid i went to a wwf show in hershey park, pa. They had a match with a big name versus a no name. the no name won, so they did it again and the big name won.

watched a match against two big name guys, had chairs, etc... exciting for a 10 year old.

then at home the next weekend watched wwf and the same exact match with the same exact moves happened on TV. this time it happened in philadelphia.

just a PR stunt. i see my son every few months, (his mom hates me) and in the store we where near the wrestling action figures. I stopped and asked him who a character was, he said "I dont know"
"GOOD BOY!" I said.
