Vince McMahon 'Dead' After RAW
The following is from WWE.com:

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – A night originally designated Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night turned deadly when the WWE Chairman’s limousine burst into a fiery explosion just moments after Mr. McMahon stepped into it. Permanently uprooting the world of sports-entertainment, the Chairman has been presumed dead in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.


Local authorities stated it was still too early to declare anything as fact, including exactly what caused the explosion, but they described the blast as an apparent “car bombing.” They also revealed that as of 11:30 p.m. EST, no body had been recovered from the incinerated wreckage.

Firefighters were quick to assess the scene, taping off sections of the parking lot to protect scores on onlookers – mostly our fans – from potential injury. Despite the intense heat and ubiquitous clouds of black smoke, countless people spilled out of the arena to get a closer look at the chaos they had just seen happen live on the Titan Tron.

“By the time we arrived on the scene, the entire automobile was on fire,” explained a Wilkes-Barre firefighter on the scene. “It was like an inferno and our guys were doing whatever they could to contain it as quickly as possible. In my 27 years with the fire department, I’ve never seen anything like that.”

The emblazoned limousine was engulfed by flames that reached skyward at estimated heights of more than 50 feet. The sight of the charred debris led to speculation that there was no conceivable way anyone could have escaped from the limo alive. Early assessments from local firefighters and police officers sent a similar feeling regarding the probability of the Chairman’s survival.

“We’re doing our best to respect the McMahon family and the fans of WWE,” the firefighter said. “However, with that said, we have not found anything – there hasn’t been confirmation that Mr. McMahon’s body was extracted from the limo.”

As the physical body of Mr. McMahon remains to be uncovered, perhaps the most perplexing piece to this puzzle is the Chairman’s uncanny, almost clairvoyant premonition of tonight’s grim events. Over the last few weeks on WWE programming, the swaggering, well-off billionaire seemed to unravel right before the eyes of millions. Speaking of a threatening presence that lurked in his foreseeable future, Mr. McMahon even cited the looming of a “black cloud” last week – a cloud very similar to the post-combustive smoke that billowed above his limousine tonight.

Was this evening an eerie prophecy fulfilled for Mr. McMahon, given his recent premonitions? Or was it simply a fateful execution of coincidence? The ominous reality is that what was brushed off as incoherent ramblings of a broken man and former ECW World Champion actually may have proven to be an exercising of a recently discovered sixth sense.

Sources say given the nature of the apparent car bombing, federal authorities may be called in for a more thorough investigation that would supersede local Pennsylvania authorities.

Check back with WWE.com as we continue to follow developments in the most shocking incident in sports-entertainment history.

NOTE FROM US: Obviously this is 100% purely storyline from WWE.com. Ahh, how the website has changed since Stephanie and company took over.

BULLSHIT HE'S JUST REALIZING HE HAS MADE A MOCKERY OUT OF THE SPORT AND HE IS A COMPLETE IDIOT IN THE EYES OF NORTH AMERICANS AND WANTS OUT!MEIRDA!

FBI OFFICE IN PHILADELPHIA CONTACTED OVER MR MCMAHON'S 'DEATH'
- You don't have to be Einstein to figure out that Vince McMahon wasn't
really dead after RAW ended on an explosive note on Monday night. But some
people thought it was real and called their local news outlets to confirm
the story. The Wilkes-Barre Times Leader newspaper even contacted the FBI
office in Philadelphia after the WWE website kept mentioning that federal
agents were on the scene after the show! "The 'federal agent' is definitely
not the FBI," said Jerri Williams, a special agent spokeswoman with the
FBI's Philadelphia office. "We have not been made aware of any car bombings.
We would definitely have been informed," she said. Pretty funny to say the
very least!

A STATEMENT FROM THE MCMAHON FAMILY
- Ed Kaufman, Executive Vice President and General Counsel for WWE will be
releasing a statement from the McMahon family at 5PM EST on WWE.COM to
continue the angle of the apparent death of the Mr McMahon character this
past Monday on RAW. The WWE website has been used extensively over the past
two days covering this angle leading up to millions of pageviews for WWE,
which is great for their online advertising business. WWE.COM is still
mainly dominated with the McMahon angle including stories from 'eye
witnesses' and videos replaying the explosion and fire fighters putting out
the fire after the show.


DRAFT, MCMAHON EXPLOSION DON'T BOOST RAW RATING
- The three hour edition of Monday Night RAW did a 3.8 rating, which is the
same number of last week. While many people might think of it as a
disappointment considering the draft and what happened at the end of the
show, three hour shows have never delivered a good rating for WWE mainly
because the first hour lowers down the whole average with not many people
tuning in for the 8PM to 9PM hour of the broadcast. The first hour had a 3.0
rating with the second a 4.0 and the third a 4.35. So in its usual 9PM to
11PM slot, RAW averaged a 4.1 which is up from the 3.8 they did last week.
In other ratings news, Saturday Night's Main Event last week pulled a 2.2
broadcast rating for the late night airing, which is even worse than the
previous two editions of SNME. (Ratings compiled by Nielsen Media Research
and put online by PWInsider.com)


NEWSPAPER ARTICLE ON JOHN CENA
- W-O Newsletter reader Scott Hart sent in a link to a story about John Cena
which is appearing on the Lawrence Eagle Tribune newspaper in Massachusetts.
The long article tackles Cena's appearance at the Chaotic Wrestling event
last month at the Triton High School gym in Byfield MA., which was promoted
by his father in aid of the Newbury Police Association. The story also talks
about Cena's family, his fans and has quotes from Cena himself and his
father. You can read it at

Update
For years Mr. McMahon’s bravado, coupled with his constant harassment of Superstars, created a major rift with our fans. But after the horrendous limo explosion on Raw, our fans have shown that regardless of his past transgressions, they still care about the man who vaulted sports-entertainment to where it is today.
In fact, the Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Police Department has been inundated with well-wishers in the wake of the McMahon tragedy, and Detective Lieutenant Will Clark told WWE.com he has never seen the station busier.
“We have never in our time seen this amount of calls,” he said, “hands down this is the most ever.” Lt. Clark continued, “I would say the amount of attention we are getting is second to none.”
And just what are people looking for when they call the Wilkes-Barre Police Department? “Everyone is wondering about the progress of the investigation,” said Lt. Clark. He then told WWE.com that the department itself has concerns because of the influx of calls they have taken. “We have had to utilize more manpower and resources than ever before because of the volume of calls through our station and the local 911 center.”
Such an outpouring from our fans around the world for Mr. McMahon shows that despite all his antics in the past, and although he made it his business to step on a few people on his way to the top, The Chairman might actually still have a place in the hearts of each and every fan.
Perhaps this response was foreshadowed by WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, who was in Wilkes-Barre Monday night as part of Mr. McMahon appreciation night. Rhodes’ words still eerily resonate with anyone who saw Raw or has followed this breaking news all week. “Mr. McMahon’s legacy is in this building,” Rhodes said. “You don’t have to love him, you do not have to like him, you do not even have to agree with his psychology of this industry; one thing we all have to do is respect him.”
Based on what WWE.com was told by Lt. Clark, our fans seem to agree with the American Dream.
Love him or loathe him, the respect being shown by each and every fan in the wake of this tragedy shows that no matter how underhanded and mean-spirited Mr. McMahon has been over the years, he still will always be respected.

The McMahon family has been mourning since the tragic limo explosion that presumably claimed the life of WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon Monday night in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

WWE.com received word that the lead federal investigator in the Mr. McMahon limousine-explosion case will release a statement Thursday to bring the media up to speed on the investigation and its progress.
Mr. McMahon is presumed dead after his limo exploded outside the Wachovia Arena in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Monday night after Raw. McMahon was seen on live television entering the vehicle moments before the explosion consumed the car. No body has been recovered yet from the burned-out vehicle.
Investigators combed Mr. McMahon’s private office at WWE headquarters early Wednesday, searching for any clues or information that would aid in the case. They took many boxes of evidence from the building, as well as McMahon’s personal computer. The site of Monday’s explosion is still cordoned off by investigators as a crime scene.

VENTURA MEETS MCMAHON IN STAMFORD
- Dave Meltzer of the Observer reported yesterday that former Minnesota
Governor Jesse Ventura was in Stamford, CT., at the WWE world headquarters
to meet with Chairman Vince McMahon. It's not known what the meeting was all
about but one has to wonder if there are talks to replace McMahon's on air
persona with a new authority figure to run the show on TV. Ventura would be
a tremendous addition again and will get some press talking about it
considering his political past.
