Vince McMahon Cried Last Night
Towards the end of last night’s edition of WWE’s Raw, Vincent K. McMahon entered the ring with plans to vociferously fire John Cena following his loss to CM Punk at Sunday’s “Money In the Bank” pay-per view event. As luck would have it for Cena, an unclouded voice of reason arrived at the last possible moment in Vince’s son-in-law, Triple H. The former world champion delicately informed Vince that, following an emergency board meeting in Connecticut, he was immediately relieved of his duties as Chairman and CEO of WWE. Vince, of course, immediately cried.
And when I say cried, the man wept for an Emmy. Not since a cash and drug deprived Leonardo DiCaprio pounded on his mother’s apartment door in “Basketball Diaries” have I been so sold on someone’s fragile state of mind. Remarkable performance.
This chilling image will no doubt be a lasting one:

McMahon really is one of a kind.
July 19th, 2011 at 3:52 PM
It’s gotta be fun to sit around and come up with these completely ludicrous story lines.
Some of the more over the top storylines I remember;
-Jake the Snake losing his vision after The Model Rick Martel sprayed him with his cologne, “Arrogance”
-Earthquake killing Jake’s python Lucifer for no real discernible reason.
-Macho Man’s wedding.
July 19th, 2011 at 3:54 PM
he looks like a jack o’ lantern in mid-november.
July 19th, 2011 at 3:55 PM
Best angle in years and this is what you write about? For fuck’s sake. That being said I heard Vinnie Mac handing the reigns over to HHH is in fact real. I hate triple H. If it is real I have a feeling VKM will be hovering close by until he croaks. MITB was fucking awesome.
July 19th, 2011 at 3:55 PM
imagine the life of the person who actually believes what happens, too.

Correct.
Vince’s on-camera presence is massive. This has to be just a break.

i wish microsoft word had a “save as” icon too…id sacrifice print preview for that.
July 19th, 2011 at 3:59 PM
My guess was health concerns or he has a bunch of corporate business to deal with in CT so he’s decided to step out of the in-ring spotlight.
July 19th, 2011 at 4:02 PM
I’ve been reading a lot about the wrestling lately. I guess because I’m trying to find out what i like to consume at grantland. So far, The masked man, molly lambert, simmons articles, and bill barnwell.
Not much of the rest though. But at least i know who CM Punk is.
July 19th, 2011 at 4:02 PM
I’d like to think of Vinnie Mac struttin like a pimp instead of a blubbering wimp taken out by a pony-tailed doofus.
July 19th, 2011 at 4:03 PM
What’s the ratio of wrestling posts to seldom covered, under appreciated sports posts around here? Surely we can get a little more golf talk around here?

Ritty, there’s usually only two wrestling posts per month, including deaths.

if he wants a little media bump, his best move is to drop dead. Or kill his whole family, and then drop dead.

I’m not hating on the wrestling (though I don’t understand it), I’d just like to see 4 non-major golf posts per month.

You do know any sitcom or drama tv show you like is make believer right? There aren’t really werewolves, vampires, and shape shifters in Bon Temps Louisiana. So “ITS FAKE!” No shit. We all know and we still watch it anyway.because its entertaining
July 19th, 2011 at 4:14 PM
After 20 + years of watching, I gave up after Wrestlemania….but kept an eye on Taguchi’s recaps just in case. The CM Punk stuff has me watching with one eye open.

Do you read TST’s thing? I look forward to that article every week and I haven’t watched wrestling on purpose in at least 15 years
July 19th, 2011 at 4:15 PM
I’d just like to see 4 non-major golf posts per month.
from which esteemed member of the staff? Because the one who writes about golf usually does not like golf, at all. Nor does he watch it.
And half of Jason Lisk’s posts are already running on weekends at 7:30 am, so it’s not like he’s getting the royal treatment around here.
July 19th, 2011 at 4:15 PM

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve said this. Non wrestling fans look at us like we are insane. Truth is, most of us believe what mrejr said. The fuckin “IT’S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMNIT!” guy kills us all.
July 19th, 2011 at 4:16 PM
Golf is not entertaining and isn’t scripted…I win. Also golf isn’t a sport and requires 0 athletic ability. I win again. Thirdly..you’re from ohio. Who wins? I do.

so shut up about golf then since there are people here who enjoy it. i didn’t say a fucking word about wrestling until you took shots at golf, so stop being a hypocrite.

id write about golf, but TBL fired me like milton from office space.
July 19th, 2011 at 4:18 PM
I remember when Jake “The Snake” Roberts had a cobra bite Macho Man, and they censored it out with a big “X” on the screen. I was terrified when they did that.
July 19th, 2011 at 4:18 PM

What kind of reasoning is this? People enjoy the spread offense, too

July 19th, 2011 at 4:19 PM
It doesn’t have to be Peter Kostis worthy swing analysis. The TBL setup works great for all the other sports – link to a story or two, form an opinion, publicize, learn from the comments (right? right?), turn into a semi-expert, produce more meaningful posts. Bingo – Bango – Boingo (also a decent golf game).
July 19th, 2011 at 4:19 PM

I realized this when he said he had to get his “top flight” gear in order for golf season.

But golf isn’t entertaining and actually sucks. That is science. Just like soccer.

Sort of.
July 19th, 2011 at 4:22 PM
They only had the X after the fact. When it first aired there was no X. Also I wonder how the plan for that storyline went down backstage? “Hey how about I have my cobra gnaw on your arm for a while?” “Okay!”

Quite a few wrestlers wear jorts…also its way more funner to pick fights with the soccer nerds. And soccer nerds don’t interrupt the rare wrestling post asking for more soccer posts. Which is why I try to resist the urge to ruin their posts. So from this moment on I call a truce with you golf nerds. I won’t go into your posts if you stay outta my wrestling posts. Deal?
July 19th, 2011 at 4:32 PM
lets be honest here…being a bubbly, yale-educated, cute asian chick golfer doesn’t hurt in the slightest. i wouldn’t be surprised if GD hired her.

July 19th, 2011 at 4:41 PM
Bret Hart was great but I was always partial to heels like Mr. Perfect. Perfect is underrated and he gets a lot of praise as it is. If he didn’t get hurt in his run with WWE he would be up there in the top 5 wrestler of all time. Rick Rude as well.
July 19th, 2011 at 4:54 PM
I was a huge Hart fan back in the day…his fights against Diesal, Undertaker, and Michaels were always great. Even against Mr.Perfect – they had great matches too. WCW wasted his career, but he wouldnt have fit in the Attitude era so I guess it all works out.
