Vince Death Story and Congress


David Meltzer of Wrestling Observer has reported on how the whole "Vince death angle" was set to work: (source: Wrestling Observer.com)

"...the plan was to have Vince return this summer claiming that he faked his own death. He was then going to reveal an accomplice with several names being mentioned for the role. Mr. Kennedy was a top candidate for the role as WWE wanted to build a monster heel character off the storyline.

The June 25th edition of RAW (which ended up being a Chris Benoit tribute show) was scheduled to be a memorial service for Vince. WWE brought in a casket, flowers, candles, and pictures of the Chairman. All of the talent was told to wear a black suit for the evening. The show was suppose to end with a cliff hanger with the lead detective ("Mr. Beck") making an arrest of the fake culprit, which would later turn out to be Linda McMahon.
"

- Yet another article today about the WWE and "cleaning up its act" in the National Ledger. It discusses how the general public many who were never wrestling fans now want answers about steroids.

From nationalledger.com:

"Can Congress fix the WWE? Probably not, they can't even take care of matters they should be looking at and right now they have an approval rating of 14%. But people that have never watched any wrestling are demanding answers on steroids."

my heart goes out to chris's family. But as for what Vince has done I THINK IT IS SO STUPID ON HIS PART. Because this all came about if he last the belt to Bobby.Well as far as im concerned he is an owner and he has no business being in the ring with the rest of the wrestlers. and as far as this omoga dude he isnt fit to be in the ring with anyone. He needs to go back to the jungle. just like that other 7 foot dude that cant speak english either.theses guys are not wrestlers. this is a sport NOT a killing match. then you wonder why people dont want to want you any more.

My heart goes out to Nancy, Daniel and Chris Benoit's family but certainly not Chris Benoit himself. I think Vince went a little far anyways with the whole blowing up in the limo thing. Death is not fun and games.

Wrestling and the WWE did not make Chris Benoit do what he did. Chris Benoit is responsible. And if he was taking steroids, that was also Chris Benoit's decision not Vince McMahons or the WWE.

I HOPE CHRIS BENOIT'S SPIRIT LIVES ON FOREVER IN THE WWE. HE WAS A GREAT MAN AND FATER AND NOT TO MENTON A GREAT ATHLETE.

RIP CHRIS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART FOREVER.

Chris was not a great man or a great Father, otherwise he wouldn't have done what he did. And his spirit will live on forever....in hell.
