10 Weirdest Fake Deaths In Wrestling
10. Vince McMahon
Let's start with the fake death that inspired this list. It's been ten years since Mr. McMahon's limo exploded in one of the most spectacular closing segments in Monday Night Raw history.
Although the storyline had to be quickly shut down after the Benoit tragedy - and led to the illegitimate son storyline where Hornswoggle was revealed as Vince's bastard son - you can't deny how eerie and effective this sequence was.
You had Vince's long, slow walk through the arena, surrounded on all sides by superstars and divas looking on, stone-faced, as the befuddled Mr. McMahon plodded through the halls. You had his nervous glances backward at the two men sitting outside the arena. And finally, that long pause when he reached for the door handle of the limo, before stepping inside.
In the aftermath, WWE stock prices took a hit because apparently some investors were unsure if Vince had really died or not.
The entire sequence was weird, but very well done. And left many of us smiling like Paul London as the show faded to black.
