[Official] Mr. McMahon Memorial Thread

[NYSandman]

What will this "bad thing" be that Vince keeps saying is going to happen? I keep hearing about a possible fued with Mysterio, but after dealing with Austin, DX and Lashley, how can Mysterio cause Vince fear or worry?

It seems he's trying to find another bitter enemy like in the Austin era, but I just don't see it happening. He needs someone who is willing to break the rules. It seems like no other wrestler beats up Vince anymore, except during a match. And, no enemy he has had so far has put him through the type of Hell Austin inflicted.

I think it is about time Vince got his ass beat down again.

 

[ExtremeRage81]

All I know is somebody better beat him up or I will. Because this whole losing his mind thing right now is annoying. I don't like it and I don't mean as a "good heel move" I mean I don't like it period. Give us something new

 

[Shadowmancer]

Actually it is a change from what we have been seeing out of Vinnie Mac in a long while, it could be viewed as a way of getting him off screen for a bit saying that he needs to rest and recuperate, it makes sense to go down this path if that is how they plan on getting him off of TV. But when was the last time WWE did a paranoid gimmick, so it is an addition to his personality on screen. It is also a brilliant way for there to be a change in Champion on RAW, Vince goes off of his rocker and puts Cena in Match after match leading to Cena eventually losing the belt.

 

[Egg McMuffin]

I dont think he'll be able to find another feud like austin unless austin comes back. Austin was the man and lashley isnt half of what austin was like. Maybe the undertaker if hes fit soon...

 

[ExtremeRage81]

One theory was Triple H but there is no way I could buy that. Triple H isn't that good. The only way Triple H made Vince's life hell was as part of DX

 

[NYSandman]

Oh, I think Trips could manage to make Vince's life hell by himself. If you look back at him as a heel, he had no problem causing devistation and hell for his opponent weeks before a match. They need a guy who isn't intimidated by the you're fired crap.

 

[sevmce]

I don't think this is neccesarily going to be a feud with a wrestler, but maybe something like being forced to hire a new GM for raw, such as Austin, giving Vince time away from tv, or at least raw. Or it could be a power struggle storyline between Steph and Shane ( who would be better as GM's or Executive characters than Long and Coach).

 

[FTWChamp]

^^^^

More than anything I could see there being a power struggle between him and Shane. Shane was evidently absent last week and I wonder if they're going somewhere with this. Shane volunteered Vince for a match a few weeks back and you could tell it didn't go over well with Vince (kayfabe).

I could see this happening with a match at Summerslam (god forbid) with complete and utter control of the company up for grabs. This way Vince can lose out to Shane and take a break from the on-air roles. This could also leave the door open for Stephanie to get back on TV, although I doubt this will happen until after Trips gets back to wrestling.

I don't think the McMahon-McMahon struggle needs to really be seen again but I could see this being the "impending doom" that Vince was talking about.

 

[Kasey]

For me the whole "Crazy McMahon" shtick is too little, too late. He's been used so often to help get someone over (with Cena likely next because he needs the help) that it has lost all meaning and any sort of relevance. Having someone beat up the boss was fresh...in 1997 when Bischoff did it and eventually McMahon upped the ante with Austin. Now, it's about as fresh as the last runs of the NWO or DX...which were about as fresh as month old bread. They just wasted over a month having Lashley jump through hoops while devaluing a title that should be used for more than a paperweight. Then they put the belt on Vince? Please. If what it finally takes is Vince and his creative crew locking themselves into a room until they come up with something that hasn't been rehashed already, it needs to get done. There are worse continuity errors in the McMahon storyline pantheon than I'd like to remember (well, except for his own kids trying to run him out of business and then all of them being buddy buddy again...stupid). I'd honestly like to see a storyline where Vince actually acknowledges what the smarks think of him in terms of wasting opportunities and talent ala The New Blood storyline (except this time it would actually have a proper conclusion). Whatever the case may be, creatively, I hope that the Draft gives the company an enema. As opposed to the last ones which basically saw us receiving the same $hit but with different characters.

 

[the_jobber]

i think what they need to do is form a new team like the corporation and have vince the leader of it. it would be cool because he could put all the champs in matches if they don't join and just keep on putting his own guys against him until they lose or decide to join up with him and then all the champs that only joined so they didn't losee their titles decide to form up against them.

 

[Kasey]

^You know, that is a simple plan, and not exactly how I'd execute something, but you've brought up a key point: A faction or stable is sorely needed. Not since Evolution has there been a group that screws the little guy over on plenty of occasions. Something needs to be done that involves a top bad guy holding a major title and his crew of cronies supporting him ala NWO, Horsemen, etc. Angles that are so simple, but so effective.

 

[Aaronx]

I think if they push the New Breed angle a little more,get a new recruit or two,they can easily run ECW. Then,what i would do,I'd have Vince McMahon be backed up by these guys. THen under Vince McMahon,they make their way to other brands and make their presence known. Idk, that's what i would do right now.

 

[ExtremeIronChef]

RAW is over and wow, I sure as hell didn't see that ending coming whatsoever. I guess this leads to Vince being off tv for a while though. Discuss.

 

[Randolph H]

I think its a Rip on the Sopranos ending... saying they could have done it better...

 

[undrgrndgam3r]

I knew by the way he was walking something was going to happen then i saw his limo and i was like its gonna blow up. and sure enough it did, sorry but WWE is pretty predictable now... however I keep watching and I'm trying to figureout when he gets out of the explosion. My only guess is that the foot that appears right before it explodes wasnt his and he went out the other door and something else was used to create the explosion. however I do like WWE's homepage right now...

 

[DerkaDerka33]

Is mnmahon dead? i am so sad. it makes sense. he went to the ring, said thankyou, took 1 last look at superstars, got in limo, almost got out, and it exploded!i almost cried! is he dead! REPLY!

 

[Slim Pickns]

No one can honestly say they predicted that ending. I think this could possibly be Vince being sick of the end of RAW being predictable and talked about well before it happens. Everyone was complaining about how wrestling doesn't shock anyone anymore, so Vince being the nut job that he can be comes up with this as the ultimate, predict that to the fans.

 

[undrgrndgam3r]

I guess this leads to Vince being off tv for a while though.

If thats true hes gone for good lol I don't think they are going to bring him back from the dead. unless they try to build some angle of him being bigger than God and he can do whatever he wants.

 

[rko4life]

i seriously can't stand people who always say they saw something coming. yea, wwe has always been pretty damn predictable, but for someone to say that they saw the limo blowing up coming, quit kidding yourself.

 

[realblackhart]

pretty cool i guess. it reminds me of when they killed off Torres in New York Undercover, a show in the 90's on fox that was pretty popular. At the same time RAW wasn't bad, there were enough things that happened to make me want to come back to watch RAW weekly. NOONE SAW THAT COMMING. it was a good ending, good drafts in the show, and decent matches.

 

[Capt. Charisma]

The whole show was a lot better tonight than Raw has been in a long while. I didnt see it comming either, i thought maybe Stone Cold would pop out and lay a can of whoop-arse. I think there are four main possiblities to do with this; 1. like you said vince is taking some time off and a new GM will take is place. 2. This has some relation to Rey Mysterio's return although I dont really see how this would work. 3.Lashley did it and it is the start of a heel turn 4.Vince did it himself for whatever reason. It was a good ending to the show the type of ending we haven't seen since the Attitude era really, this will almost certainly lead to a who-done-it in the next few weeks/months.

 

[Shadowmancer]

No he is not Dead it was a rigged explosion so he could get off of TV and get back to being the Chairman of the Board of WWE. This is actually the most original ending RAW has had in a very long time. Though this can't go on too long, they'll make some burned horribly but in critical condition story up and have him come back in a while as good as new. I wonder what Writer thought it up. They deserve a pat on the back for this ending.

 

[TheShowzOver]

In all my years of watching wrestling over 10+ all i can say is wow, never a more strange ending. And it leaves you wondering what's next?

 

[evdogg311]

me [being a fan of over 15 years] and my friends who are casual fans were just watching.. and the whole time they were going "this is boring.. this is boring." and me being the vince believer that i am waited patiently, and like everyone else in my living room just now of course was shocked.. i guess vinny needs a break, and he's about due for one.. unless of course they come back next week and say that bobby lashley was the one that rigged the bomb.

 

[undrgrndgam3r]

It was predictable I mean comon why the heck else would they sit there and follow him walking for like 5 minutes? They just want us to watch him drive away, no they were building to something big, my choices were he was going to jump off a bridge or something cause hes all emo cause everyone is hating him or once I saw he was actually going to get into the limo it was going to blow up. If it hadn't i would of been like comon wwe WTF what a way to waste 5 min... watching a emo guy walk.
