More on Vince McMahon’s Limo Death Hoax

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Since people have been asking about it, here is some more information on Mr. McMahon’s Limousine Death Hoax:

Searches for Vince McMahon shot through the ROOF last week with a 9800% increase! That’s incredible. This goes to show you the huge interest generated by this story
There are 2 factions backstage that are warring over what to do with the Mr. McMahon death false death storyline. One of these groups is quite small, but very influential and they would like to see the storyline continue for the next month or so. The other group is made up of just about everyone else in the company who thinks that the false death is in bad taste and should stop immediately. You can guess who is in which group…
There are now online pop-up advertisements asking whether or not you believe Mr. McMahon is dead. Sheesh!
WWE has admitted to CNBC that this is, in fact, a hoax, though they did so in a roundabout type of way.

It really is amazing the amount of press coverage that World Wrestling Entertainment is garnering from this storyline. It’s funny - about ten years ago the then-WWF was getting big ratings from the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. And here we are ten years later and it’s the out-of-ring action that is bringing publicity to the company as opposed to the in-ring action.

It’s sad, really. Well, for what it’s worth, I hope that WWE ends this storyline as soon as possible. It’s tasteless, classless, and it has already tarnished WWE’s image due to their lack of respect for the recently deceased “Sensational” Sherri Martel.
