    It's already on the notable wrestling deaths Web site, too.

    At least McMahon did the right thing to abort his storyline ... good way to introduce the show.

    That was a nice touch. For once we get to see that Vince is a human being after all.

    Weird as hell, though, since he acted a lot like the Mr. McMahon in his final Raw two weeks ago.

    Chris Benoit deserves every minute of this tribute, and I can only pray that McMahon is done making light of death for storyline's sake. RIP Benoit

    Show opened with McMahon in the center of the ring of an empty arena. Spoke about what was supposed to happen, a memorial to the death of his character Mr. McMahon. Then spoke about the "reality" of Benoit and his family being found dead.

    He got pretty choked up by the end.

    Thanks Gutter. Perhaps McMahon will finally realize it's time to stick to rasslin' instead of outlandish storylines. I won't hold my breath, however.

    RIP Rabid Wolverine.

    What did VKM say???????

    Is there video of it yet? I thought Raw started at 9 tonight.

    Tonight was to be a three-hour "memorial" to the "late" Mr. McMahon. USA still showed the promo for it (with Benoit wrestling) during the Law and Order credits just before the show started.

    It was supposed to be a 3-hour memorial to VKM, but it turned into a 3-hour memorial for Chris. And it seems they're dumping the dead VKM angle.

    Basically he just said what happened today wasn't a storyline (like his own) and is real.
