Apparently it's still real to you too, KaizokuFan22.

It's a keyfable death.

Here is the video of Mr. McMahon's death...

Spoiler:

I know, Wrestling is fake as well.

[AWB]

So now I need to choose between watching the Boogeyman every Tuesday or watching Whose Line Line Is It Anyway on ABC Family every Tuesday.

Curse these decisions.

[Cap'n Carter]

I wish wrestling was like the goofy pseudo-super heroic action in the 80's and early 90's instead of the low-brow hillbilly T&A show they have now.

[KaizokuFan22]

I know its not real...

just wondering what lead this to happen, that's all... I only seen wwe for almost 9 years now and still dont understand much of some of the stuff

[Onigumo]

What's there to understand? It switched to a pre-recorded segment when McMahon walked through the double doors. McMahon will turn out to be just fine, and he will start an investigation into who planted the bomb in his car. When the "culprit" is revealed, that person will be punished by going against 1 or 2 of the strongest wrestlers and McMahon won't let them be pinned until he says to pin them.

it sounds like this will be the whole Steve austin case incident all over again

[AWB]

Or it's all a trick started by McMahon (the character) to extract sympathy from the crowd and his employees. Then he returns, announces the plan, and he becomes an even bigger heel than before, setting him up for some big storyline.

Sensational Sherri has passed away.

I find the whole chairman dying thing to be halirious. I "pity the foo" who thought it was real.

Oh man. That's awesome.

[God_Eneru]

Me,I think this whole death thing was just because vince wanted to retire. But he'll probably come back. And to add to that,I wish WWE would go back to something like they did in 2001 to early 2003 With the N.W.O coming back and what not,and plus the invasion was one of my favorite storylines to date.

I looked into this guy and found out the real reason he was crying. it's actually pretty sad (not in the pathetic way).

[Aldrich]

I watched wrestling when I was a kid in the early 90's (I was a Undertaker fan I remember), what the hell happend to it? From what I've saw on the internet it became the trashiest, most low brow shit you could think of. The guys are bipedal bags of roids and HGH, there's softporn whores everywhere, and that shit with the terrorists and the war in Irak was downright embarassing.

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!

The WWE dies when they merged with ECW/WCW and when The Rock and Stone Cold left.

There was real reason?

If so, I feel kinda bad about it now. =/

I got the guy's online handle from comments on one of the youtube videos of it, and did some investigating.

Konga Dave was just a normal, everyday hardcore wrestling fan, until he attended a Q & A session featuring the likes of Terry Funk and Jim Cornette. Dave gets to ask a question, and his emotions get the better of him. Lines like "It's still real to me, dammit!" and "Thank you so much Mr. Funk for saying what needed to be said. I don't wanna see another one of these!" got him 15 minutes of fame. He was featured on the Jimmy Kimmel show, where he was lamsspooned for such statements. Many just wrote him off as another stupid mark.

What the media didn't know was that Konga Dave isn't some typical wrestling fan who thinks everything is real. During this Q & A session, he had heard many stories about wrestlers abusing their bodies in the ring, dying too young, etc. This is what brought about these strong emotions. Konga Dave is not ashamed, however, but has embraced his popularity. Like "Deacon Daddy" Devin Sturgis, Konga Dave is a member of the Wrestlecrap forums, and is an honorary member of TBGA. His meeting Lex Luger was a phenomenal event in Lugermania history. Because Konga Dave has a great passion for this business, and a 30 second clip of hilarity, let us welcome him into the TBGA Hall of Fame. Thank you, Konga Dave, for saying what needed to be said!

Don't worry. It's still funny.

Pretty much how I feel about it.

I started watching wrestling again just a couple of months ago after something like a six-year break from it, and it's true, it really has gone down the shitter. Everyone I liked is either gone (the Rock, Stone Cold, Chris Jericho), injured (Triple H, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels) or crappy now (Kane). Basically it just obsesses over punkass Cena, roid-filled Lashley, and roid-filled Batista. There are still some awesome stars on the show to watch, like Edge, Mr. Kennedy, and Chris Benoit, but they just get swallowed up by the incessant pushing of Lashley and Cena.

Anyway, I thought the Vince death angle would be a good push in the right direction for the WWE, as we could finally focus on wrestling instead of McMahon's incessant rambling, but I was dead wrong - now the entire damn show is focused on him. It just turned stupid, and it almost seems like an insult to Eddie Guerrero and Owen Hart. All I'm interested in is seeing Benoit become ECW Champion, because damn that guy deserves another world title run. I only started watching again for the nostalgia, and now that's shot up the ass, so I think I'm just going to quit for good this time.
