AND WITH THE PASSING OF SHERRI THEY WILL BE NIXING THIS WHOLE DEATH STORY LINE. OK SORRY I COULD NOT HELP BUT pregnant dog ABOUT IT.
THIS IS THE PRESS RELEASE I GOT FROM WWE.
STAMFORD, Conn. – Whether he was looking down on ordinary 9 to 5ers from his corporate office at the Titan Tower or berating onlookers from “his” ring on Raw, SmackDown or ECW on Sci Fi, Mr. McMahon often held our fans in great contempt. The Chairman probably would have never believed that these same fans would drive hundreds of miles to honor him with mountains of flowers, cards and pictures after seeing his apparent fiery demise on Raw this past Monday.
Hundreds of baskets of carnations, sympathy cards, teddy bears, daisies and orchids lined the entrance to the Titan Tower as countless fans made a makeshift memorial to Mr. McMahon, who is presumed dead after the limousine he entered exploded at the end of Raw. Some preferred to leave pictures of the Chairman, while others placed toy replica belts of the ECW World Title he held briefly. But everyone WWE.com interviewed said that while they didn’t love Mr. McMahon, they respected him as a pioneer in the world of sports-entertainment and wanted to thank him for entertaining them all these years.
“I hated the arrogant b******, but I had to come,” said a tearful Peter Frager, who said he drove all the way from Borger, Texas. “I’ve watched wrestling for so many years – I grew up watching him, even during the days when he was just an announcer. It’s going to be weird watching WWE without him.”
One fan, dressed in a retro powder blue sports jacket with the old World Wrestling Federation logo that was once the Chairman’s trademark, was too overcome with grief to talk. His shoulders shook and lips quivered before he buried his face in his hands. He had to be held by his two friends that were at his side.
“He used to practice the Chairman’s strut and swagger,” one friend said. “He’s barely eaten since seeing the explosion. But he insisted on coming here and paying his respects.”
Do’ rags, candles and signs that read “Vince: The Real Icon,” “Long Live the Chairman,” and “The Immortal McMahon” were scattered among the throng of well-wishers gathered outside the Tower. The eyes of some WWE employees widened and some jaws dropped at the outpouring of love for Mr. McMahon.
“I have never seen anything like this,” said a receptionist at the headquarters. “It’s just amazing. … I could barely maneuver past the flower baskets when I returned from lunch.”
The McMahon family remained heavily on the minds of our fans. Harold Laurel, of Bayonne, N.J., said the Chairman’s tragedy hit him especially hard. Looking up at his 3-year-old – who was sitting on his shoulders and was preoccupied with sucking on a Jolly Rancher – Laurel said that McMahon’s presumed death reminded him that life can be too random and too short to be taken for granted.
“The fact that this happened just before Father’s Day – it’s just terrible, terrible,” he said. “I know how Shane and Stephanie must feel – my Dad passed away around this time last year. I just hope they can get through this and help their mother get through this.”
Laurel then gently knelt down as he enabled his son to come down from his shoulders. The boy continued eating his Jolly Rancher as his father enveloped his small fingers in his hands.
“Entertainment aside, this whole thing just reminds me that we have to cherish each other every day,” Laurel continued. “I’ll miss seeing Mr. McMahon. He was evil, but he still had a family. I hope he has found some peace.”
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY WOULD YOU LET YOUR CHILD THINK THE MAN IS REALLY DEAD. SOMETIMES I THINK WWE GOES OVERBAORD WITH THESE STORY LINES. DON'T GET ME WRONG IT WAS A GOOD SHOW. BUT CONSIDERNG THE FACT THAT THERE HAVE BEEN REAL SITUATIONS WHERE WE HAVE LOST WRESTLERS I JUST DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE TOYED WITH ESP WITH YOUNG FANS. I WAS AT THE SHOW WHEN OWEN DIED IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO GO TO A LIVE SHOW AFTER THE TRIBUTE SHOW HERE IN ST.LOUIS. WHAT MAKES ME RESPECT FANS SO MUCH IS SEEING THE SUPPORT FROM THE FANS. IT'S WHAT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH WWE. I HAD TO WORK A SHOW AFTER EDDIE DIED THE FANS HAD ME IN MORE TEARS THEN SEEING MY FRIENDS AT WWE CRYIN THERE EYES OUT. BIG SHOW HAD ME CRYIN THE HARDEST I COULD NOT EVEN LOOK HIM IN THE FACE. I USE TO BE ONE OF THOSE WHO SAID OH THATS SO FAKE AND WHY THE HELL DO YOU WASTE YOUR TIME ON THAT SHOW. UNTILL I SEEN A LIVE SHOW RANDY ORTON AND MY BROTHER MADE ME GO. IT WAS NOT SEEING THE SHOW THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT WAS THE CROWD, TO SEE SO MANY FAMILIES HAVING SO MUCH FUN. WHEN YOU ATTEND A LIVE SHOW ITS LIKE YOU ARE ALL ONE BIG FAMILY. YOU FIND ALOT OF PEOPLE TO TALK TO WITH LOTS OF DIFFRENT VIEWS. THATS ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF GOING TO A LIVE SHOW, AND TO SEE A KIDS FACE WHO IS THERE FOR THE FIRST TIME IS AWESOME. MAYBE I'M JUST SENTIMENTAL OR MENTAL LMFAO. I MUST BE IF I KNOW THIS MUCH ABOUT WRESTLING. IT'S SAD WHEN SOME OF THE GUYS AT WWE CALL TO ASK YOU WHATS THE BUZZ GOING ON.
