I Can't Watch This

Sean P Kelly · 06-19-2007, 07:26 AM

Suspending your disbelief can only go so far. Believing that somebody is dead is too far.

The only thing that would make this angle watchable is if there was at least ONE wrestler, who was skeptical that Vince is really dead.

Anyways, I predict the angle win end next week (the second 3 hour episode in three weeks) with Vince showing up and the whole deal being revealed as a huge "F You" to the fans.

I agree Sean, Vince's "death" is going a bit too far, of course they won't bring vince back until after they reveal "who planted the bomb" and most likely they'll have cena *blech!* defeat whoever they decide to make the assassin as an act of revenge for vince.
or this could go a different way and make it play out like Hamlet with "the ghost of vince" visiting shane to name the "assassin" and have shane pick someone to carry out vingence in his name.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did I not already speak out against the angle? Heh.

On WWE.com/ they let you "Voice your opinion on the subject" about this. I did it, and said the "assasin" was Vince himself. I explained that I think this is a totally bogus storyline, and said It's only another way WWE can get more publicity. You can all go and voice your opinions too of course. So do that if you want to.

they have took it too far... but somehow it's hard not to watch.

Sean P Kelly · 06-21-2007, 07:36 AM

Personally, I have vowed to stop watching Raw until the angle is over

DK · 06-22-2007, 04:42 PM

It's not just on Raw, though.

Sean P Kelly · 06-22-2007, 09:51 PM

^ It is if it's the only WWE show you watch

DK · 06-23-2007, 12:48 PM

True, but obviously I don't know you well enough personally to be able to assume such things.

What really puts it in context is the real death of Chris Benoit. This 'whodunnit?' thing on wwe.com is just taking the piss.

Sean P Kelly · 06-30-2007, 09:10 PM

Actually the whole Chris Benoit murder/suicide thing puts a new definition to this topic (i.e. how to go back watching wrestling like normal)

You could do what the WWE does: recall all merch, divert attention from the drug problems in the wrestling world, and otherwise ignore it.
