Then how about this. WWE.com has a popup right when you visit their site proclaiming Mr. McMahon presumed dead. If he comes back, then there shouldn't be a Gooker vote this year. What if he comes back as a zombie? Oooh, better yet, what if he came back as THE Zombie? ?

If Vince comes back, it's winning the Gooker. Don't even bother to vote. The sooner the Gooker-er. If he comes back next week there is literally no point in holding the vote. If he comes back TONIGHT on ECW RD shouldn't even wait for the end of the year but write it up the instant the angle ends. Even if he comes back as a zombie, that has crap written all over it.
Even if he doesn't come back, if it turns out to be Eugene, Santino Marella, or (more plausibly) someone the IWC hates - anyone that would suck in a "Rikishi running over Stone Cold" way - it's winning the Gooker. And if it turns out to be Steve-O it's winning the Gooker as well.
On a related note, if they try to treat the assailant as a face, it's winning the Gooker or at least getting inducted. I don't care how heelish he was, they won't get away with trying to treat a murderer and terrorist as a face. Even if you were a mark who booed Mr. McMahon even during the Invasion when they tried to make him a face, you had to feel something when the limo blew up.
Other than that, it's looking like a completely hunky-dory storyline!

Here's a theory: Vince killed Vince. Vince thought if he had an Appreciation Night and everyone told him what a bang-up guy he was, it would bring him out of his doldrums and he could be the ruthless businessman that made the WWE. When everyone said they didn't want him around any more, he decided to leave them all. Show them all, they'll miss Mr. McMahon, oh, yes they will. So Vince had that limo set out all-too obviously so Coach would lead him to it, and if no one else stopped him and told them that he was an okay guy, then he'd go through with it anyway. It would explain why he was at peace, ready to leave this mortal coil, and why he almost backed out and left the limo.
All in kayfabe, of course.

Yeah I def. saw this more of a suicide than a murder.
And unless he comes out and says that he faked it (although how i don't know since the editing was spot-on), if he does return then it is crap.
The problem is that so many people throw out Gooker for something they don't like or that looks bad and don't wait for it to develop or actually happen or forget about actually crappy angles, like Rosie v. Donald. Man that match was horrible.

the worst part about all this is that this is pretty much not only the angle that will win the Gooker, but it will also be the one thing that can topple Katie Vick as beeing the worst angle ever. I can't honestly see the WWE top this. I can emagen RD and Blade right now buying the remains of the Limo on WWE Auctions as we speek to capitalize on this.

This angle may or may not be good due to the fact Vince McMahon is or is not dead.

This is crap, no matter how it ends.
If it's suicide, it's tasteless. Crap.
If it's murder, then you have a CAPITAL CRIME being committed in wrestling. A prosecutable crime, potentially punishable by execution. The only wrestling payoff possible is Shane vs. the murderer (or Stephanie vs. the murderer, if the perp is female). That's crap right there.
But this isn't aggravated assault or running someone over. You can't brush MURDER under a rug with "I'd prefer to settle it in the ring, I won't press charges." There HAS to be an arrest. And unless you plan ahead of time to fire someone so they can "serve time in prison", it has to be a non-wrestler who can be easily written off. And non-wrestlers mean NO IN-RING PAYOFF. Crapola.
Or, then there's what I fear ... he faked his death for sympathy. People go "Well, he was a bastard, but we didn't want him DEAD," and they get all weepy and say nice things about him, verbally fellate him, blah blah blah ... and he comes back and says "YOU LIKE ME! YOU REALLY DO LIKE ME!" That would be crap supreme.
No matter how you slice this, this is crap. Big crap. Gooker Award Winner Crap.
Jed Shaffer ~Plus ... there's the whole policy that's on the WWE website where they state they will never use rape or murder in a storyline. Guess they forgot 'bout that.

Some how I am thinking more and more this a stunt with the guys from jackass.
However truly, I think he faked his death so he can come back and surprise people, maybe as a title contender at Vengeance, as it is open to former title holders.
We are all to smart to believe he will stay off tv for long, that is for sure.
As for the scene its self, the fake leg was a dead giveaway, if you watched, he got all the way in, then a leg popped back out at an odd angle, so I would imagine the fix was before that, then a rig pulled the leg back in and closed the door.

Wait ... THEY BLEW UP MAD DOG VACHON?!? Jed Shaffer ~Jesus, Diesel steals his leg and now they blow him up. Why can't they induct him like everyone else?

Well, Melina is involved with Johnny Nitro. Nitro is a combustable substance.
Call the WWE. We solved it. Johnny Nitro did it.

But, why Nitro? Was it really Bischoff behind it? using the guy named after his old show to finally get his revenge?
Or was he doing it for Mercury?
Or perhaps Vince had mercury poisoning, thus explaining his weird actions all night...
- Alive? Really? I think my left shoe can out think them most days...then again what with the fungus, it may be gaining sentients

This is WWE. Motive is irrelevant. And, more often then not, too difficult to come up with.
Jed Shaffer ~Leith outbooked Creative the other day. True story. He said "Glah bya BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH". Boom, drew 35,000 people.

No matter what happened, no matter who did it, they did it for the Rock.
Admittedly, I would mark out if it was Rikishi.
-Leith can speak Khalese? So if we let Khali book the shows would be awesome?

I'd mark out too for that.
"But, Keesh ... Rock's retired!"
"I still did it for him!"
Jed Shaffer ~Babytalk ... Khalese ... what's the difference?

It would make sense, they just fired the last member of Too Cool, Keesh would need some accomplices.
Vince Signed his death warrant when he fire Scott Taylor, now the reign of Too Cruel begins!
Rock, Keesh, Scott and Brian - Too Cruel, an evil stable for the ages.
