3: Mr.McMahon’s death
The June 11, 2007 episode of Raw was Mr. McMahon appreciation night. In the weeks leading up to it, the Mr.McMahon character had become progressively more depressed after losing the ECW title at the 2007 One Night Stand pay-per-view. During his night of appreciation on Raw, a bevy of former and current Superstars came out to say negative things about Vince.
After being booed out of the ring with tears in his eyes, Vince walked past every Superstar on the roster towards his limo. As soon as Vince got in, the limo exploded and Raw went off air. There was confusion in the days following this with many news outlets covering the death as real.
Where would this storyline had gone had Chris Benoit’s death not caused the storyline to get cancelled? No one knows, but it can’t have been anything good.
