Turns out, the CEO of the WWE is not really dead.  His alleged car bombing last week on Monday Night RAW was a staged event and he is alive and well, probably swimming in his pool of twenty dollar bills.  I have not really followed wrestling for the past 7 or so years ever since there roster has grown to Mormon sized proportions, but I saw an actual news report from a very reputable news service that Vince McMahon had been killed in a car bombing.  Maybe being a little naive, I checked around and sure enough it was a stunt.  Since when did car bombings become fodder for story lines in pro wrestling?  I am fully aware that professional wrestling is not real and its a soap opera for men, but this seemed a little much.  There are people out there right now who fully believe that this man is really dead.  This isn’t a “Who shot Mr. Burns” thing, this is real people thinking a man has been killed. Remember Owen Hart? Brother of Bret “The Hitman” Hart and long time wrestler? He fell to his death in 1999 onto a ring post from a botched stunt.  This guy seemed pretty upset(Click on the picture for video)

Go to www.wwe.com and read about tonight’s program.  They don’t tell you this is a hoax.  Is it even legal to fake a fake death?  During a time where bombings and assassinations are a reality, playing on the emotions of people may just have over stepped the bounds. Furthermore, I am not a bleeding heart liberal. I’ll be voting republican next November.  People accuse video games of being too realistic and are the source of all the world’s problems.  At least we know the game isn’t real.  I don’t have to do a google search to see if the Covenant have landed.
