During Vinces memorial service, his long lost brother Roderick would attend. Yes, Vincent Kennedy McMahons real life older brother Rod was going to be used in a WWE storyline. Vince and Rod were raised by separate families and were not very close growing up. From all indications, Rod was never interested in getting involved in the professional wrestling business. As the years moved on, Roderick and Vince formed a closer relationship and Vince wanted to utilize his brother in this storyline. According to Bauer, the other McMahon family would be used to run WWE programming with Roderick the anti Vince character. Apparently, Rod was going to be nice and kind and everything Mr. McMahon wasnt. It would eventually lead to a McMahon civil war over control over the entire WWE empire. --- https://imgur.com/KqTAosO https://imgur.com/gxNoM3U <cite>Vol2tex posted [p:932771697] in Original p...

Skye Reynolds 01/11/20 6:24:39 PM #17:	I missed the limo scene when it aired and tuned in next week during the bell toll for Vince McMahon. There was about a two second stretch where I thought he had legitimately died until Michael Cole and JBL started arguing about how disrespectful the fans were for booing a dead man. (Again, I didn't know this was after an explosion. I no longer followed wrestling gossip online. I just tuned in to a bell ringing and Vince McMahon's portrait on the Titantron.) I don't know what made them think that was a good idea. It's the same bell toll they used when 9/11 happened, when Owen Hart died, when Andre the Giant died. Did Vince just want to hear his own bell toll while he was still alive? Why incorporate that into a character death storyline? Why even have a character death storyline in pro wrestling? <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:932786079] in Original p...

ECW - featured footage from earlier in the day of the WWE flag flying at half staff in Stamford, CT, followed by footage of Vince McMahon's limo exploding the previous night on Raw and the announcement he was presumed dead and the matches later in the show would be held in dedication of Vince; included a tolling of the bell 10 times in memory of Vince, during which Joey Styles & Tazz mentioned the live audience's response was very disrespectful; featured footage from WWE.com of a fire truck arriving to the limo explosion to put out the blaze; included a closing segment once again showing the limo explosion: http://www.thehistoryofwwe.com/07.htm I guess my memory was faulty about who the commentators were though. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:932788842] in Original p...
