Vince McMahon Death Angle To Continue Tonight

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that the Vince McMahon death angle may be continuing from where it left off tonight on Raw. The initial plan was to have Vince return in the summer claiming that he faked his own death. He was then going to reveal an accomplice with several names being mentioned for the role. Mr. Kennedy was a top candidate for the role as WWE wanted to build a monster heel character off the storyline.

The June 25th edition of RAW (which ended up being a Chris Benoit tribute show) was scheduled to be a memorial service for Vince. WWE brought in a casket, flowers, candles, and pictures of the Chairman. All of the talent was told to wear a black suit for the evening. The show was suppose to end with a cliff hanger with the lead detective ("Mr. Beck") making an arrest of the fake culprit, which would later turn out to be Linda McMahon.

It seems the angle might jump right in to Vince revealing that he faked his death.

As has been reported before it seems Vince considers himself the biggest ratings draw in the company. As soon as he's off TV the ratings go down, but I consider that a coincidence.
