Who Killed Mr McMahon?

[M3boy]

I know nothing at all about wrestling but i caught a debate on this the other day and some folks were going seriously nuts over this saying that it was a terrible thing to show someone "dying" when the target (or majority) audience is children.

they have a point

I have to stop my two watching it, as they used to try to beat seven shades of wotsits out of each other after watching it, despite the on screen "do not try this at homes" that pop up

No worse than Power Rangers imo - my 2 youngest love it as well   (Aged 4 and 2!!)

I was a fan of the Ultimate Warrior.  He was always my favorite.  I have not watched wrestling for about 10-15 years, so I don't know any of the modern day guys.  I do remember Vince McMahon though as a commentator. 

I watched a documentary recently about the Ultimate warrior, most of the wrestlers hated him as he wasn't actually good, but his ring entrance and music, fame etc reached a high level. He constantly claimed he hated wrestling and was very arrogant to others in the business. Ahh well I did like watching him though.

There is a thing on youtube about him as well.  He got slated a few years ago after giving a talk at a college campus in the States,  in his talk he made a negative comment about gay people .  I believe it is on youtube somewhere, my friend showed me it ages ago

 the wrestler Jim Hellwig actually changed his name to ' Warrior ' so Vince McMahon could not make money off him , and had a lawsuit which he won giving him the rights to keep the name of Warrior and to use the mannerisms , costumes , merchandise etc etc of ' The Warrior ' and any letters adressed to him or assets are under the name Mr Warrior.

 obviously a bit of a crazy guy , the other wrestlers were mad at him because Hulk Hogan gave him the chance to be the No 1 wrestler in the world and he wasnt interested , didnt turn up to fights etc , and the owners and wrestlers felt like he didnt appreciate or feel grateful to the WWF and honour the WWF's traditions.

 very good documentary if you can get your hands on it.

Hulk Hogan, he IS the man. Is he still "Wrestling"?

I would have thought you were more of Les Kellet, Jackie Pallo and Mick McManus man Tony??

I well remember all of those. Jackie Pallo, well hard him, McManus too, he was the Barry Neville of his day. Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks, all commentated on by Kent Walton. Saturday afternoon, ITV's highest viewing figures.

Paul Heyman. He comes in and takes over with Eric Bischoff. WCW reforms with ECW.

Or the old it was a big setup like that hasn't been done before!!

back in the early days he was the commentator on televised wrestling...the days of Mr Miyagi, Andre the Giant and the like

through the 80s and especially the early 90s he bought out the owners and turned it into the huge cash machine it is today


he's very watchable, a comedy character/farce actor

Vinnie Mac was always the owner he just appeared as a TV personality becuase he thought he was a good commentator.

LOL @ Mr Myagi!

I think it was Rikishi.... again.

Austin 3:16 - Stone Cold Steve Austin......always loved him back in the day when i used to watch WWF

Donald Trump.

And I agree that Vince was an arse for doing that screw job on Bret Hart.

Watching that event on the "wrestling with shadows" documentary is interesting, it's just a shame we didn't get to see the much talked about Bret punching Vince's lights out.

As for who blew up the car I suspect it was.............................................................Mr McMahon. After being slated on the appreciation night I guess he wanted to see how people really felt about him and see how would try to take advantage if he was out of the picture. This would be consistent a typical lame Vince storyline and suspect he'll reappear come SummerSlam.
