What Exactly Was Scheduled For Vince's RAW Funeral

The day WWE received word that Chris Benoit was found dead in his home along with his wife and son, WWE was in Corpus Christi, TX getting ready for a three hour Raw special focusing on the funeral of Mr. McMahon. Notes:

- "Daniel Beck" was scheduled to arrest Linda McMahon on the show. Linda would be deemed a murder suspect.

- All the wrestlers were told to bring black suits for the "funeral."

- As they were scripting eulogies, the sheriff's office called around 4PM to inform the company that Benoit and his family was dead.

- In weird irony, the raw set was already decorated with a casket and a hearse.

- WWE booked a choir for the funeral, and flowers and wreaths were being loaded into the arena.

- WWE was also setting up memorial candles and photos of Vince.

- Ted DiBiase was brought in for a cameo for the funeral. DiBiase helped to counsel people, many were described as basket caskets.
