The Pro Wrestling Torch is reporting that there are still many people within WWE not very fond of the Vince McMahon "death" angle at the moment. We reported yesterday how upset some WWE stockholders have been after the angle went down two weeks ago as well. While there was talk of ending the angle quickly, it appears as of now that WWE will continue pushing it as much as possible, as evident with the announcement of another three-hour edition of Raw this Monday night with the angle the focus that night.

Speaking of, The Pro Wrestling Torch is also reporting that WWE has made attempts to get into contacts with Chris Jericho about a possible return. Based on what is known at this time, Jericho was said to have been really turned off by the current McMahon angle and reportedly doesn't want to be associated with WWE at this time.


So we lose Jericho because of this Death Angle? Thats just fantastic. :rolleyes:

Exactly, just ask Paul Lev...uh I mean HHH. :grin:

Wrestling has always billed itself differently than most entertainment shows. In the old days, they tried everything in the world to make people think it was legit. If you thought it was fake you got slapped down like you were a 20/20 reporter. So, now, wrestling has a certain stigma and way about itself. They try to blur the line between fiction and reality. But, I still say that the main reason this is getting such bad reactions is that they are handling this "fake" death, the same way the honor a real one. People see it, not as a good storyline, which it may be, but as a slap in the face to the people that they honor in the business.

It's kind of hypocritical for the people in back to complain about the storyline. How many times have Taker done the death angle?

In all fairness, when UT "died" his body would disappear or Druids would come take him away and the WWE didn't have a 10 bell salute on every show and make all the wrestlers in the back give eulogies about how great the UT was.

They have to go the extra mile for the boss, I guess :-/

I wasn't to keen on the ten bell salute, but I don't think they've crossed the line, at least not yet.

Undertaker certainly is a different species. His character is a "deadman," obviously hailing to and from a certain area. So when he's burned in a casket or buried alive, we expect his character to be sent back to the inner depts and eventually come back stronger than ever. He's a torn soul; that's his character.

But McMahon is totally different. He's protrayed as a "real" person, with real characteristics and real abilities. When he dies, it's acted upon as if he really died, compared to The Undertaker, who we know will always return because of his spirit. (the "not being found" in caskets, etc.) So yeah, it's hard to compare the two.

A WWE stockholder recently emailed World Wrestling Entertainment complaining about the Vince McMahon storyline. The stockholder said that he sent an email a week ago after the explosion was aired, he said as a fan he enjoyed the angle, however as a stockholder he didn’t like the idea. He said that he thought the explosion was a great storyline however he didn’t enjoy the public perception of the portrayal. The WWE stockholder hasn’t heard a reply back from them yet.

Who cares. McMahon owns over 90% of the WWE, only his opinion counts.

truest words i've heard, yet. this is no different then watching some bullshit reality show, like Survivor or Big Brother. only difference is the stigma that comes along with being a wrestling fan.



in my case, i've already been desensitized to WWE's storylines. they've already had Undertaker kill Paul Bearer on Smackdown. i'm sure someone here remembers that incident. Kane was once a necropheliac (sp?), according to WWE. Torrie Wilson's Dad, Al Wilson, was Sexed to Death, by Dawn Marie.


with that said, is anyone truly surprised that Vince would do such an angle involving himself? anybody? **crickets chirp**



i hate to say this, but i actually have to give WWE/Vince McMahon credit. while i personally can't stand the storyline, Vince has managed to garner plenty of attention for WWE, because of this storyline. Vince has managed to surprise many fans, including smarks, for the first time in quite some time.

while many people, including smarks, are speculating how this will play out, there's still a lot of questions that we can't answer. could Vince's "death" be faked? if not, who'll ultimately be blamed for his "death"? could he have somehow survived, through some "miracle"? knowing WWE & Vince, i wouldn't discount any concept involving Vince's survival......or, somehow coming back as a zombie.


for the first time in a long time, i'm having a hard time figuring out how WWE will pursue a major storyline. this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I always thought from the beginning that they would kill him, but eventually bring him back. I just don't think it would make any sense to have Mr. McMahon "dead" forever, while his counterpart Vince is still doing the shareholders meetings and accepting awards in the public eye.

After McMahon’s big “death” angle took place on the June 11th edition of RAW, the June 12th SmackDown/ECW tapings were said to be a lot like WCW Nitro use to be back in the day. Both shows were completely changed as they decided the angle was a bigger deal in execution than they had originally expected. Changes were still made even after SmackDown had begun taping.


Guess some others see them as acting a little much like WCW also. :lol:
