The way they are treating this storyline, with tributes from the wrestlers is a smurfing disgrace. Yeah how could they do this angle when many people died in wrestling died? I mean talk about no class whatsoever, f*** them I mean they have no respect especially with what happened to Eddie, Owen, and many of the recent deaths of wrestlers like Mike Awesome, Sherri Martel and Bad News Brown. f*** this bull shit!

So WHEN Vince comes back and goes onto an "I fooled all of you" promo, I'd love to see the whole crowd chant "No you didn't"

Man, I wonder what Stephanie will do to the "murderer" when he is caught. Put him in a match?

You know most things in the WWE aren't a big deal to me. Sure there has been many, many offensive storylines that WWE has run that don't bother me. I mean death is a very sensitive issue and this angle is in terrible taste, mostly due to the fact that it's being treated as real death and not having it be farcical in nature.
Nor should it be a tool to garner sympathy for a character that wasn't liked by the fans. I mean I could deal with a lot but all these comments by people on air makes me sick. To me I didn't mind that they killed off his character but the eulogy crap for "Mr. McMahon" is sick to me. Many people have had close family members die and by making Vince's "death" seem more important than there own mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, etc. it's a slap in the face of all the fans and not to mention how many wrestlers have died this year of a young age but no, lets pay respect to a guy who is not dead in reality, and in fact isn't even sick.
I think the final straw for me was Steph's promo tonight. Just awful, talking about getting "vengence" god! Why not compare it to 9/11 or terrorists vs soldiers in Iraq. Really smurf the egotistical McMahons. In my opinion this is worse than the Katie Vick Storyline. Because that storyline was a farce and wasn't played in a serious note at all. This however is totally serious which makes this terrible and I doubt it will end well. If they played this in a non-serious way it would be tolerable but this? I think this might be the worst storyline in the history of wrestling.
Also I'd like to say at first I thought this storyline could have been good but all the tributes have made me realized this is a flaming piece of crap and all about spreading the word on how great Vince was and all that crap, so no this will be horrible and all the writers and employees of WWE should be ashamed of themselves. Thats all I'll say about this for right now.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the recent "Vince McMahon is dead" storyline has roots that stem back to 2005.
According to the report, the idea was first presented in February 2005. It called for Carlito, who was using his "underworld connections" to make Theodore Long's life miserable, to have a bomb planted in Long's car. Similar to Monday's RAW angle with McMahon, Long was to walk to the car, open the door and presumably die in the explosion.
WWE writer Tom Chehak supported the Dave Lagana-penned idea, but Brian Gewirtz dismissed the angle as being too far-fetched. Stephanie McMahon agreed with Gewirtz; the proposal never even reached Vince McMahon's desk.
Interestingly, under pressure from Bonnie Hammer to increase WWE RAW ratings, a version of the angle took place in 2007—on the show for which Gewirtz serves as lead writer.

I didn't even know Gewirtz was still with the company. Huh. And I do remember the proposed car bomb angle now. This is like when someone pitches an idea for a TV show, the exec says it's stupid and they won't do it, and then the next year the show suddenly appears as a pilot from the exec.

When she said "My father IS the most important thing in my life.....WAS, WAS the most important thing." I think she added that in for dramatic effect. I think she ment to do it just to make it seem like she is really sad. I dont think it was a slip at all

Someone should probably bring a sing to the next show that says: "Oh hey Steph, How's your dead father doing?"

They should do a mad bomber angle where limos keep blowing up all over the place and they kill off most of the roster.

Here's how I think the Vince death saga should end...
Daniel Beck comes out on Raw one night and says he's found the killer, Coach comes out and starts yakking about finding this bastard "so he can get a piece of him" and talks about firing his ass right on the spot.
Beck says to Coach, "It's you." Coach is in a state of shock and trys to leave, but "fake" cops at ringside catch him. Beck glares at Coach and declares: "Explosive residue was found on your luggage" Beck continues, "But, I can't charge you with murder, because Vincent McMahon is still alive."
A tape rolls on the titantron.
Mr. McMahon is found living among the Pennsylvania Amish by one of the divas, she finds him working in a furniture store planing a chair. He has no idea of who he was, having been blown out of the limo through the sunroof like a bullet, landing in an Amish cornfield miles away.
An Amish family took him in thinking he was a lost relative who had returned from the outside. Spending time with the Amish has changed Vince into a kinder gentler person.
Mr. McMahon is dead, Vince will never do the walk ever again. He will have to be a face in the few appearances he will make from now on.
Enough about me, how would you end this angle?

I was told to save this for Raw, but I can't keep a breakthrough like this quiet.
