WWE Questions “Dead McMahon” Storyline In Light Of Actual Death

The WWE isn’t guilty of using good taste very often, but the wrestling mega-corporation is currently pondering the use of some actual decorum. Only days after the WWE’s own "Sensational Sherri" Martel was found dead at her mother’s home, head honcho Vince McMahon was fictionally killed in a limousine explosion on Monday Night Raw. Now the WWE is reportedly considering abandoning the "McMahon is dead" storyline.

Police do not suspect any foul play in Martel’s death, but she reportedly did not die of natural causes. Meanwhile, McMahon’s fake death was over-dramatic and silly.

Since this is the WWE, we have to be a little suspicious that the company’s rethinking of their current storyline is just for PR reasons. Ratings are king in the world of professional wrestling, and even something as tragic as the death of one of their own probably won’t change Vince McMahon’s plans.
