For all of you who have e-mailed me today, let me just say this: As far as we know, everything that went on last night at Wachovia Arena was part of the show.
For those of you who don't follow professional wrestling (and count me among that group), Vince McMahon and his troupe of professional wrestlers made an appearance at the arena last night for a WWE Raw broadcast. From what I understand, at the weekly show's conclusion, McMahon stepped into a limo that was then shown as exploding on the arena's video screen.
Evidently, professional wrestling fans who have been e-mailing me this morning fear that McMahon is dead.
Rest assured, if McMahon had been killed last night at the arena, it would have been reported on more than just professional wrestling Web sites. The county coroner would have been called to the arena, along with a slew of law enforcement officials.
You see, when someone is killed in an explosion these days, it usually draws a lot of interest. So if you are really that interested in McMahon's fate, stay tuned to WWE broadcasts. Or check out the Times Leader tomorrow. Staff Writer Rory Sweeney is talking to a few people who know all about the explosion.
Now let's take a look at what's on the site today:
-- Area chef Jen Yemola is alive and well on "Hell's Kitchen." Features Writer Lisa Sokolowski watched the show again last night with Yemola, who was praised for her leadership during the episode. Check out Lisa's story and then click over to her blog to post your thoughts on Jen's quest.
-- Summer theater will return to Nuangola. Staff Writer Mary Therese Biebel tells us that the Theatre at the Grove will host three shows this summer. "A Broadway Musical Review," "Nunsense," and "Last of the Red Hot Lovers" well be featured.
-- A Avoca former borough police officer has been charged with one count of unsworn falsification to authorities, according to Staff Writer Terrie Morgan-Besecker's story. Michael Joseph Sekelsky, 36, of Lampman Street, Avoca, failed to mention he was involuntarily committed to a mental institution several years ago on an application for recertification as a police officer, according to state police at Wyoming.
-- Staff Writer Rory Sweeney tells us that highway crews can take matters into their own hands when reckless drivers go flying by their work sites. Crew members can now fill out forms that will result in the driver receiving a $25 fine. I guess those "My Daddy Works Here" signs with the backwards letters weren't working.
-- The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees rallied to a 6-4 victory over Durham Monday night at PNC Field. Sports Writer Van Rose has the details.
Those are today's highlights.
As always, if you have a complaint, comment, or question, drop me a line at jsoprano@timesleader.com or call me at (570) 829-7164.
Thanks for reading.

Completely wrongful to use such a promo when we have children watching. I have bought tickets to the Dallas show on July 2 which concerns me now about the ability of WWE's standards for family entertainment.

According to reports, it was an actual car bombing. Feds have been combing the area thruout the day sifting thru debris and evidence. But if by some margin it was part of the show I wont watch WWE television ever again. I have had 1 good friend in iraq serving the military that was killed by a car-bombing.

i don't know whether or not vince is dead, but if he isn't and it was all a stunt, HOW DARE YOU VINCE!!!! i know you think no one cares but that is just a sick stunt to gain publicity!! If he really is dead, my sympathy and prayer goes out to all of the mcmahon family because even though i was not a big fan of mr. mcmahon, i still respected him very much!!! - jessica boutilier

Give me a break, guys. It's a freakin TV Show, just like anything else. Why it's easily forgivable on a show like CSI, The Supranos, and whatever else, but an unforgivable sin for WWE is beyond me.
June 12, 2007 at 1:42 PM
Teresa Davis said...
Larry S This is bad because alot of kids saw that last night and believe it to be real. With the bombings of the world trade center and the murrah buliding in ok and of course the war where over half the soldiers getting killed are by car bombs we don't need a joke on tv like that.

ive been a wrestling fan all my life especially the 80s wrestlers like macho and hogan and the warrior.i dont like the wwe thesed days but something told me to watch it laast night.vince macmahon was a smart business man i didnt like the way he done the wrestlers,but he was asmart man if hes gone my prayes are withthe family. but i he isnt why he is he drawing attention.
June 12, 2007 at 2:11 PM
NAOMI said...
if he indeed died then my thoughts and prayers are with his family. However..... if this was a pubilicity stunt then he shoulld go to jail because we live in a world that is violent and joking about car bombings during a year of war is unexcusable and unforgivable, and according to the law is a punishable offence. I do not condone people joking about said matters and will stop watching wwe if this was indeed a joke

MAYBE SOMEONE REALY WANTED HIM DEAD,BECAUSE OF HOW HE WAS,BUT IF HE IS REALY DEAD WWE IS NOT GOING TO BE THE SAME WITHOUT VINCE

if this was a stunt then vince is realy an idiot,maybe that there are people who care about him and he does this,but if he's realy dead then it's bad for wwe,it wont be the same without him,it doesn't matter that he was such a creep.

DHS said...
the explosion was taped on Sunday night. The video was spliced in to look live. The only thing live was him walking to the limo after leaving the arena. Now it's going to be a "whodunit" mystery! My guess on the outcome "McMahon fakes his own death and son Shane wreaks Havoc on WWE stars, only to have them begging for Vince McMahon to return!"
June 12, 2007 at 3:42 PM
Kizzle said...
I can't believe there are still idiots out there who think this is real. I guess I give the general public too much credit - there really are still slack-jawed hillbillies out there who can't discern fiction from reality on a pro wrestling show. Only people with low, low intelligence would not be able to figure out the difference between this, and, say the real-life accident with Owen Hart falling from the rafters.
June 12, 2007 at 6:10 PM
Justin said...
Mr.Mcmahon did not die! They recorded the explosion on Saturday. The only thing that was really live was when he was walking to his limo. HE IS NOT DEAD! It would be all over the news! It is only on wwe.com. How stupid is he to fake his death? Well anywayz, if you don't believe me go to msn.com and search for Vince McMahon then click on the link that says McMahon died...or did he! K!?

Ernie said...
If this is your sick way of getting people to talk about your show then you have alot more issues than people first thought.Have you forgotten that there were children who attended last evenings show.Not to mention children who may have lost there parents to a road side bomb in Iraq.Your show should be taken off the air and you need to be ashamed of your self.How are you able to look in a mirror every day and lay down to sleep at night?

Lorie said...
At least most folks realize that Vince McMahon is still alive--somewhere. But why so critical of the story? How many people have been whacked on the Sopranos? And how many people would really watch CSI if there were no dead bodies to investigate? It's the same old sad song. Professional wrestling will always be evil and immoral. And the rest of the world is so much better. (BTW, the soap opera I watch killed off one pregnant woman last week and another pregnant woman was almost murdered three times in the past week. Where's the morality in that story?)

If Vince McMahon was really, truly, dead. It would have been aired on the CBS News just like Eddie Guerrero was the day after he died.

TO THE WWE I am very disppointed that WWE has played a "hoax" on people.I am devoted fan who ca not believe that you would do something like that on national TV you have to remember that children look up to these people as their "heros" and by tricking people into believing this is very sad. I can't imagine that they need to boost their ratings but luring people to watch the show Vince McMahon has to remember that with all the terrorist threats, our people fighting in other countries to try to stop this THAT WAS A BIG NO NO for ratings! one thing! I have been watching wrestling for over 25yrs. now. and that was uncalled for the WWE AND Vince McMahon OWES EVERYONE an apolige
June 12, 2007 at 11:08 PM

WWE must be pretty desperate & SICK to FAKE Vince's death on national TV. I will not watch WWE wrestling again.

for vince to perpitrate a hoax of this magnitude really only proves he is a desperate sad man that wants money at the expense of everything including honer and common decency i wouldnt be surprised if he ends up in prison stripes for this stunt regardless of haven the permits

sue vandale said...
if he is dead wich i doubt ... well I give my deepest sympathy to his family .but if this was a hoax...VINCE YOU ARE SICK AND TWISTED MAN!!!!all of us in this household luv wrestling especially my 7 yr old and today he found out at school that you died ....welll he came home and he was so upset... i had to eplain to him about what happen and it might not be true . I was so upset seeing him like that .... he had tears COME ON GEESH. SO IF IT WAS A HOAX ..WELL HELL IM DONE WITH WRESTLIN. GOODRIDDENS!!!!!

Tony Krizek said...
We all know this was a stunt. It's sports entertainment. Just like in a movie or in a TV show some charictors are written off in one form or another. The WWE decided to kill the Mr McMahon Charictor. As a wrestling fan for over some 20 odd years I am glad to see something different in the story to keep it fresh and look forward to the WWE creative team coming up with a great story off of this. And since WWE has said they Presume he's dead, look for a dumb almost cartoon like way they will bring him back later.

roosevelt williams said...
it's a sad world that we live in when a multi-millionaire such as vince mcmahon has to get attention by staging a fake death like he did on Mon. night. this is not right nor should it be acceptable. think about those fans and kids who are very hurt and scared today by this hoax. vince, if this is what you do to boost ratings, then you are a sick man. i looked at wrestling, but after a stunt like this, the wwe may be permanently off of my tv viewing list.
June 13, 2007 at 12:54 AM
patty said...
i give my deepest sympathy to the family if it was not a hoax and also if it was a hoax cause it was a very sick thing to do there are lots of little kids all around the world that watch wwe and if it was a hoax i think mr mcmahon needs to stay off the wwe for good and not come back if it was a hoax like people say it was dont come back later stay gone for good but there are people that didnt like him and people that did and if he does apear back on raw later every one will hate him for the hoax the only one i liked on there was john cena any way
June 13, 2007 at 12:55 AM
catfish said...
without vince on the shows they are boring.also wwe ppvs barely better than raw therefore not worth the 39.95.

i think that is is not a hoax i mean y would they do something like that and have ecw t a whole show didacated to him if he did not die he is died and the r witnesses that say that they say what looked like his charred body and u can see the smoke going at least 30 ft in the air
June 13, 2007 at 1:53 AM
babsr said...
I am a wrestling fan....but you people can't seriously believe that Vince Mcmahon was really killed! It would have been all over the news. Please wwe fans...don't be so gullible!
June 13, 2007 at 8:38 AM
Brian said...
I am shocked that there are wrestling fans who really think Vince McMahon was killed on live tv when his limo exploded. Don't their mother's watch soap opera's? I've been a wrestling fan nearly 33 years and there was no doubt watching RAW that it was not only a pre-taped segment but also that it was part of the show. It's like a Soap Opera, how many times has Stefano been "killed" on Days of our Lives and now he's back once again. On tv Vince has been saying for a couple of weeks that he had a bad feeling something was gonna happen. But come on, are people serious that they think Vince is dead? Oh me oh my! Don't worry folks, Vince McMahon is alive and well.

Yasmin said...
Speaking on behalf of a few UK fans, I am disgusted. I've enjoyed watching WWE shows and events since 2005, and I know the reputation - this dates back to the late 80s when my bro watched it as the WWF. A "soap opera", "fixed", etc. I believe the official term in wrestling for a storyline is "kayfabe". I feel like never watching WWE again. I felt the same when MVP was "burned" - as a burns victim myself, this was NOT AMUSING. WWE is losing its touch. And its mind.
June 13, 2007 at 11:42 AM
Carrie said...
This whole Vince McMahon blowing up in a limo is alittle on the ridiculous side...The camera never tapes him leaving the arena any other time but the one time they do he blows up in a limo?? That just as rediculous as the time Stone Cold shoved a catheter(sp?) up Vinces butt...Now come on what hospital is going to allow any of that to go on unless you are on Days of our Lives where anything, from changing DNA tests to pretending to be a dr and no one notices, goes on. Please keep to the wrestling and let the BS quit. All we want to see is the wrestling not all the drama that we can easily deal with in our own lives.

I hope it wasn't a hoax, otherwise Monday I wasted a whole bottle of Moet-Chandon champagne celebrating. The only thing which would have pleased me more was his son Shawn being in the car with him. Sorry, but that is just how I feel.

Eric G said...
What is Vince dead or not? Who knows?Im a kid that is really into wrestling and i don't know what to think.My opinion is I think he is presumed dead.I read all the articals on www.wwe.com and they're saying he's presumed dead.My mom is also a fan and she said "Why would the put that on tv and billions of people watch it.Kids also watch it and they would believe it."I loved when dx made fun of him. Me and my friend watched it and I thought Triple H came back with Shawn Michaels and pulled a trick on him but I remembered HBK was hurt. My friend Justin thought Stonecold blew it up.I remember when I was 4 Stonecold blew up the DX Express in 2000. My opinion I THINK HE IS DEAD.No matter what other people think I think he is DEAD.
June 13, 2007 at 10:08 PM
Todd said...
pretty obvious it was fake. You can see him go into the limo with one foot out, bring it in, and put the fake foot it so he could get out in time
June 13, 2007 at 11:35 PM
David Parker said...
I kinda figured it was fake but after finding this newspaper site saying that it was a hoax, I know now for sure that it was fake. Man, and I thought I was sick and twisted LOL. And after doing research on cnn.com and msnbc.com and a few other news sites and not seeing McMahon's name scroll across the bottom of the screen saying he was killed made me believe otherwise. All I can do is shake my head and say They lock me up in a mental ward--McMahon's the one that needs to be a permanent resident in one.

Sometimes in movies people die and have a habit of returning from the dead. Superman died from Dooms hand, why can't Vince die from W.W.E.'s hand. After years and years superman returns.......So I ask "When's the sequal Vince".

Penny said...
I have watched wrestling for over 30 years. I have never been as upset and disgusted as I am now. This hoax was out of line and unexcusable. In our times now to have Mr. McMahon joke about a explosion and his death is horrible. Especially when The WWE supports our troops and entertains them, knowing they deal with these horrors on a daily basis. We have innocent men and women sacrificing and dying for us, and to have him and his corporation and family to play out such a hoax is just wrong. And Mr. McMahon does this for what power , MONEY, I am disgusted.

Alan Sierota said...
After being a life long devoted fan of the W.W.E.I was in a state of shock over the presumed death of Mr. McMahon on live Monday Night Raw. But now to hear of a possible staging of this event really makes me sad.I have always had the utmost respect for the entire McMahon Family but this really hurts.

Now I get it... What you did Vince, genious, I mean, a sick joke, but genious! At vengence, he will be back, like, a voice during the ppv. Make everybody scared, I saw ecw last tuesday, r.i.p vince, peshaw, he will be back! Once again Vince, Genious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whatup said...
Let's keep in mind WWE and RAW/Smackdown ECW, etc are TV programs with storylines. To pretend that they knew to film Vince exiting the arena and luckily caught a live explosion with cameras rolling is foolish. This is a storyline and shouldn't be viewed as some big moral issue. Otherwise you need to start viewing all TV shows that have explosions and death as moral issues.

come on ppl Mr Macmahon isnt Dead hello what happened to all of his family being on ECW. Eddie died and everyone came out and did a show in his name vince isnt dead he might be retiring to spend time with his grandkids just leave it alone.

tammy zastrocky said...
i was looking on wwe.com and they have a few pics of the limo explosion if you look closely on the 2nd or 3rd pic you could see what looks like a head coming outta the other side of the back door... it could be my eyes playing tricks on me but it looks like a head... check it out... maybe im wrong....

he spoiled the wwe. he left all important superstars who helped him to becom RICH.he spoiled the wwe.and i dont think that he could have been died.this is also his part of the show.bey

T.B. said...
Look at the first frame of the explosion filmstrip at WWE.com.. You can see the light of the fireball beginning to show in the front driver's side window. Guess what? No driver. If you look at the orientation of the blasts, you can see that there are four: Right front passenger side, engine, under the limo where Vince sits, and the trunk. The blasts were designed to go outwards and make a big boom, rather than vaporize everything inside the limo. (I think the doors would've blown off).. Just something to think on.

I dont know how many times ppl have watched the video clip but if you listen closly it sounds like that a car door shuts on the other for Vince to get out... Check it out see what u think

Steve said...
I hope all know the difference between a real blast than a pyroblast. it looked pretty realistic.. Hope Vince or no one else got hurt in this plot..
June 15, 2007 at 8:24 PM
Chris said...
I know what A car blowing up looks like, and that's a pyro blast. And actual explosion of the gas tank would have sent the back of the car into the air and then probably come down on the side of the passenger. There is no way the WHOLE car would go up, and it takes a lot of force, tons more then you think to get it to blow. The whole wouldn't have gone up, because the fire would not spread to the engine THROUGH the interior. not even through the fuel lines, they would melt because of the heat and blow the flow.

I Already Knew That Mr. McMahon Wasn't Dead. When I Saw The Explosion, I Just Thought It Was As Fake As It Can Be. I Didn't Feel Any Remorse Then And I Still Don't Feel Any Now. It Was So Phony How His Death Was Put Together. When It Happened That Monday, Tuesday Should Have Been The Day For His Tribute On ECW. But Noooo, It Took Place On Friday. It Was A Weird Tribute. I Wasn't Like Eddie Guerrero's Tribute, Where Every 1 From All 3 Shows Came Together And Mourned. Honeslt, I Think It Was A Waste Of Time. It's A Ashame. Sensational Sherie's Gone & WWE Didn't Even Make An Effort To Announce It At All. I Have A Lot More To Say, But I Don't Wanna Take Up So Much Space.

This is a horrible way to get ratings. If he wants to retire fine. But why hoax something like this. We are losing soldiers in wars from carbombs. This is a horrible display. Vince should own up to this and apologize to millions for such a stupid stunt.

its obvious it was fake, they way he breathed walking to the limo and how he acted like something was up somehow and when eddy g. died, it was all over the news and if someone killed the leader of wwe, it would have been way more out there then eddies death so he is either gonna make a suprise back or he quit but he surely did not die from this and tv would not show him getting in and blowing up at the same time
June 21, 2007 at 4:59 PM
stephen said...
yeah he has to be alive the wrestlers the next show seemed fine even though their boss died and they have noone to pay them and they would atleast take a break from shows instead of just continuing so fast its a scam
June 21, 2007 at 5:03 PM
Lee said...
With what is going on these days with bombs and this being one of the dumbest stunts will Mr. McMahon be punished? Should he be punished? I think he should face some sort of penalty and give an apology.

Chris said...
You all cannot be serious. All this talk and bager and bashing is what vince wanted. Bad media is good media. Have you forgotton that. You clowns sit there and talk and trash what a corney stupid stunt that was. But you saw it. More money and rateings. To me it was very morally wrong i agree because i would never talk about my family like that. But its a show like the movies you watch and the shows or novelas you watch...... GET OVER IT. DONT WATCH IT. YOU GROW UP AND IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SHOW DONT SUPPORT IT. GOSH!!!!!

I AGREE WITH A COMMENT, VINCE SHOULD BE BOOTED OUT, AS WELL AS HIS FAMILY,HOAX OR NO HOAX, THINK ABOUT THE REAL FAMIIES THAT WERE KILLED ON 9/11 DUE TO BOMBINGS, AND ALL THE BOMBINGS THAT KILLED HONEST AND LOVING PEOPLE, HE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY MILLIONS FOR THIS HOAX AND PLEASE KICK THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND HIS FAMILY OFF OF WWE.

I think Mr. Mcmahon should not have faked his on death because people in the 9/11 was really killed in a bomb and I think he should pay a fine and get kicked out of the wwe and his family probally knew about this and people all over the world probally thought he was really dead and his family is giving a memorial service for a person who is not really dead. THIS IS NOT COOL

For thiose wrestling fans who believe that the matches are all REAL, then I suppose Vince is wrestling with the angels. For those of us who love a good entertainment scam, we look forward to the next chapter in the wrestling soap opera.Some of us are gullible and others, well, we can see through the "bull.".

First, the date of this article is 25 June, the event took place two weeks prior to that, seems like even us Australians get to see wrestling before you do in Penn State Second, its a wrestling show. Of course its fake. I find it really curious that a news publication has actually reported this as a news item, considering every other publication in the known universe knew what the truth was. But, whats even worse, is your mind numbingly stupid readers who are all in a panic as to wether its real or not. Shouldnt you be on some dweeby wresting forum site all flaming each other over who is the coolest wrestler or something? Until two minutes ago, I thought you Americans were the most pathetic people alive for believing this tripe, then I realised that was wrong, Im the most pathetic because I took two minutes of my day to actually wrote this response.... Good Day

mr.mcmahon is not dead, it just was a dummy of him. i don't know how they do that, but it definately was a dummy. if he did die, it would've shown it on wwe.com and they probably would've stopped the show, because he is THE chairman of the wwe. but shane or stephanie might of taken over. the actuall person who got blown up, was the dummy of mr. mcmahon. he came back, everyone was in shock. it's all part of the act!! they act for god sake! they read it from a script! that's why they show raw, smackdown, and ecw every week!if you didn't know that, you need to watch a bit more.if you did, good.
