Vince Mcmahon - Controversy Personified
Filed under: Recreation and Sports | No Comments »
On June 11, 2007, WWE aired a segment at the end of RAW that featured Vince McMahon entering a limousine moments before it exploded. The show went off-air shortly after, and WWE.com reported the angle as though it were a legitimate occurrence, proclaiming that McMahon was “presumed dead”. Although this was the fate of the fictional Vince McMahon character, no harm came to the actual person (that is, his death was part of a storyline).
With this being a seemingly obvious storyline why have so many fallen victim. Plenty of news agencies across America believed the story was actually real when it first occurred and even veteran fans have questioned whether the death was real or not.
