What makes you possibly think that? Why are you speaking for him?
The guy is pretty damn smart. He knows what he is doing. You have no proof of what you are thinking, even his "delusion."
Drop it already. You sound stupid.

Vince is a genius. I think any real wrestling fan knows that this is an angle and Vince knows that too. This is something different and shocking and that's what he's great at. I just hope the payoff is good. I'll tell ya though, I do a lot of business with the folks at WWE and every single employee is towing the company line and backing this thing. It's hysterical. When you see a guy you've had lunch with give a statement on the McMahon family's response to the explosion you just look and go "wow I'm business with these people? What the fuck did I get myself into?" I love it.

And the story is getting a lot of media play, and the word "hoax" is all over, no one is treating it as real, or pretending it is real, outside of the carny part of wrestling. The story was the Yahoo story of the week, over Paris Hilton and all the other stuff going on. Also, "WWE" and "Mr McMahon" are topping the search charts on the net.
Its accomplishing their goal.

Interesting changes with the draft, which continued yesterday. www.wwe.com/inside/news/supplementaldraft07Raw takes London and Kendrick, which I really don't care much about. Smackdown gets Kenny Dykstra, which I don't mind. ECW gets Viscera, which is perfect since I hate Viscera and don't watch ECW. Raw gets Sandman, which I think is pretty stupid. I can't stand Sandman. All he is, is an entrance, and he can't even get the entrance because WWE won't buy the rights to Enter Sandman. Hopefully he'll get as little airtime as possible and job out every week. Smackdown takes Hardcore Holly, which is fine by me, since I get a kick out of his antics. ECW gets the Miz, which I also don't mind since I hate the Miz. Raw gets Daivari. That could be entertaining. Smackdown gets the Major Brothers. I don't know who these guys are since I don't watch ECW. I'm guessing they're pretty good though. Raw gets William Regal. I'm a huge Regal fan. I'm glad he's back on Raw. Smackdown takes Victoria, Raw takes Jillian. I don't care about either one of them. Smackdown takes Eugene, and ECW takes Johnny Nitro. Sucks to be Nitro right about now. I liked MNM. I don't know why they messed with it, but so be it. As for Eugene, don't like him, so I don't care.

Balls, They messed with it because Mercury couldn't keep it together and stay straight!

Some interesting things out of the supplemental, to be sure.
London and Kendrick to Raw is excellent, especially with some strong tag teams over there. I've seen enough of them vs Deuce and Domino.
ECW did ok, aside from the Viscera pick, getting Nitro and the Miz. Those two are decent wrestlers, and will improve the in-ring product on ECW outside of Boogeyman and Viscera matches. Benoit has some good young talent to work with. As to Nitro moving, its the WWE splitting up another real-life couple in Nitro and Melina. They also split up real-life couple Dykstra and Mickie James by swinging Dykstra to Smackdown. You do the math. Just read this is the first time Victoria has been moved off of Raw since she debuted in 2002. Her and Jillian trading places is ok, fresh faces.
The Majors Brothers are ok. Pretty green. They had to leave ECW though, as there is no tag division.
Loving Regal on Raw. I want him in the main mix. Daivari is going to be wasted over there, I have no idea why he was moved. Sandman anywhere but ECW is interesting. As to Eugene, who cares. I hope they have something planned for him, though.

Viscera I guess is the Snitsky replacement as "The Big Monster"

I hear you Captain, but I still liked the team.
Point taken about Kendrick and London and their neverending feud with Deuce & Domino. Might have been more interesting had they HAD the belts, and did a unification match.
I think Regal is one of the rare wrestlers Tom and I agree on. He's a solid wrestler of course, but for me, it's all about the mic work with him. He's a great character.
I don't see how Sandman could be interesting on Raw. Maybe he will be, but not sure. How can a no talent jackass like that work on the top show? I can't see him doing much besides jobbing.

Yes I hope Regal gets a bigger role in this whole McMahon death thing and after....They gave him a long speech and he was extrememly grateful to Mr. McMahon so maybe he gets rewarded when Vince emerges....

I think Sandman to Raw is the beginning of the end for him..He will become the Balls Mahoney of Raw. Sad to say but as much as I loved him it will be nice to see the WWECW version of Sandman put out of his misery.....

No doubt. The whole point of the death would be for McMahon to see how much people truly appreciate him. Those who sided with him should be rewarded. Those who don't should be punished.
Regal on Raw=good.
I don't know why they don't just release Sandman and wish him well.

Apparently Sandman has completely cleaned up, and he has been a model citizen, and it does not go unnoticed/unrewarded. They've actually become happy to keep him around.

While I understand that logic, he's still not talented.
They never made decisions this stupid when Vince McMahon was alive.

Paying off Metallica would revitalize Sandman's career. Of course, that speaks volumes for Sandman's skills.

Stone Cold is simply better in every facet of the sport. Sandman swings a kendo stick. Big deal.
He has no skill in the ring, and all he is, is an entrance. Wow. He can hit himself in the head with a can.
I'll certianly give him a new look on Raw, but he's just not good.
