My vote goes to the bushwackers for the horrid gimmick they were given

I was curious and now the story is out, wwe stock dropped 3.3% according to msnbc due to this death gimmick and a lawsuit may be filed against wwe due to shareholders not knowing if it was legit or not

so lemme get this straight Slaver....you blame Owen dying on Vince? 🙄

I would seem that, like bret hart, Canadian wrestling fans all have one thing in common; the love to wine and bitch.

Well I, for one, have had more than enough of the story line. Listening to Monday night (Its bad enough I have to even hear it) made me sick. The way his daughter came out and all. I would hope that most adults are smart enough to realize that this is not real but my heart goes out to all the kids that watch this and truly think its for real. Even though my ex and I have tried to explain things to my son...deep down a small part of him thinks its real. I am glad to hear that the stock price went down and the lawsuits might happen. Obviously the only way to possibly get through to him is by his pocketbook. If even that.

Vince is to blame yes, because he pretty much put owen in that spot as "revenge" on bret and because owen refused to do an angle where he cheated on his wife

He should have been in the ring, not flying about

Ok, are there any positives with this?

First, it's a storyline. It's not real. It didn't really happen.

Secondly, note that the WWE has never once said Vince actually died. They continually use the word "presumed" a lot and say things to lead you to think he's gone. They can't actually say he's dead because he's not.

As far as kids thinking it's real, well it's up to parents what kids watch and believe. Do the kids that think this is real think the matches are legit and the violence is real? If so then parents really need to have a talk with their kids.

But is this really any different than Stone Cold being in a 'hit and run' (attempted murder) which didn't really happen? Is this any different than Stephanie being kidnapped and placed in a cult marriage by the Undertaker which didn't really happen? Is it any different that Linda McMahon being in a wheelchair with a stroke which wasn't real, while watching her husband have an affair which didn't really happen?

Bottom line is it's entertainment. If you look back on WWE history you can find lots of storylines, gimmicks, etc. that are just as bad if not worse than this. I'm curious to see how they bring him back.

WWE stock price changes mean very little. Stock prices continually change in any market. I wouldn't read too much into it.

People, you have to remember that this is sports entertainment, and in this realm anything goes, and they will try to do anything to get attention. So relax, and he'll be back in a few months. This is just a ratings ploy, and it has seemed to have worked. Besides, if was truly dead, every station would be talking about it, there would be a an obituary made. Haven't seen it yet have ya??

OK, now, let's everyone breathe.....now exhale

I was at the show in Richmond (read about it in another thread) this past Monday.

who died doing an unnessary stunt as payback for Bret Hart punching Vinces lights out for being a liar and a cheat.

Slaver, those two incidents have nothing in common at all. Owen was playing a super hero at the time. Owen was given the option not to do the stunt....he said he would do it. They had Sting's repel people helping them do it. All he had to do is say, "No...not for me" and it wouldnt have been done. As a matter of fact, the original story line for Owen that year wasnt as a super hero, but as him having a crush on Deborah (who was managing Jeff Jarrett at the time). He turned that storyline down because he didnt feel comfortable chasing down a woman on TV when everyone knew he was married and his wife watched the show with his kids. So they went with the old Blue Blazer gimmick as a back up.

Look I know it wasnt real. I think just about everyone knows that it wasnt real. Thats already been said a few times here in the thread. As far as talking to the kids...thats an obvious if the parent has any kind of common sense. Believe me, I have discussed this many times with my son. We have had many arguments about the whole thing being fake. Granted, there are some matches when they really do get slightly hurt (or more). But kids are more visual and they seem to process things better by what they see then what is true.

I know that when I was a kid I believed it was real. People tryed to tell me it was fake and I didn't believe them. There was nothing anyone could say to make me think otherwise. It might be kind of hard to make a kid understand how this really works.
