Professional Wrestling - the tale takes a twist...
Vince Mcmahon is "dead" after (quite drmatically) his limosuine exploded - handily followed by several persuing WWE cameras.
never ceases to amaze me what people will believe.

"presumed dead"
"not recovered the body"
"possibly incinerated in the inferno"
I agree kornboy, the sad thing is that some people are gullible enough to genuinely believe this, even though the only "news" it has made is on the WWE website.
I'm surprised Reuters haven't picked up on this major news story of an exploding limo containing such an important character in the world of American sports.
It's almost as if it's not real... ;o)

Could Wrestling remain a show of (false) fighting and stop? I really loved it 20 years ago, when i was a boy, the Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant times. I knew it was only a show, but i liked it.
Now i don't follow it anymore, but sometimes i see something on SKY when i wait for rugby matches. And i don't like at all the show as it is now. It became all too extreme (ECW first), and nothing is real, but kids (and older Americans only, i presume) can believe it is real, bringing serious emulation problems.
Mr. Mac Mahon, instead of joking about his death, could bring his show back to the origins. Wrestling, and stop.

If we're talking US wrestling (when I used to watch it) then probably the undertaker.ok everyone - out with it - who's your favourite wrestler?
If we're talking 'proper' wrestling Pat Roach, Marty Jones and Johnny Saint. Rollerball Rocco was also very entertaining. :oD
Our period of waiting is over - this is the time.
