WWE: 13 Times Vince McMahon Went Way Too Far

11. Vince Stages His Own Death

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iCFrgU0HDA Even as I write this entry, I'm unsure whether it actually warrants its position. It's not one of the worst angles ever conceived but unfortunately, it became a victim of another tragic event. On June 11th in 2007, the final segment of Raw saw Mr. McMahon entering his limousine before it exploded, presumably killing him. The WWE website reported it as a legitimate explosion and the angle was set to play out over a number of months before a big return. However, due to the harrowing Chris Benoit double murder-suicide, Vince returned within 2 weeks. Due to situation, it would have been highly insensitive had Vince continued with this ploy, after the deaths of 3 people linked closely to the company.
