this stage collapsing & falling structures etc at the end of raw was it part of the show or was it indeed an accident ?

i have a feeling it wasn't part of the show

here is your answer bayman

SAN ANTONIO – Moments after giving away $500,000 in "McMahon's Million Dollar Mania," the WWE Chairman appeared to be severely injured in a bizarre accident when lighting equipment crashed onto the stage and a large electric sign toppled onto him.

The extent of any injuries were not known at press time, however, the WWE Chairman was immediately treated at the scene by paramedics who fitted him with a neck brace, loaded him onto a stretcher and rushed him to a local medical facility via ambulance.

WWE officials said that they are conducting a preliminary investigation into the equipment failure.

thanks thiele, i didn't think it 'looked rehearsed' & there seemed to be genuine panic by the staff, paramedics & wrestlers

ummmmmmmmm................ of course it's staged!
I've loved wrestling for over 25 years and love all the storylines and believe me, this is part of a storyline. I suppose you think The Undertaker REALLY IS banished from the WWE and that Festus is like a Port Supporter until he hears the bell ring as well!

So Owen Hart's really alive then and will descend from the roof at an upcoming RAW?

Remember, last year when Vince McMahon faked his own death with an exploding limo?...
The angle was pulled because round that time (almost exactly a year to this day) was Chris Benoit's killing spree!
As for the most recent incident...
Was it a work, or fair dinkum?
Kinda like the old 'Boy who cried Wolf' story eh!

Reports say after it happened that Vince was calling HHH by his real first name Paul.

To say Owen Hart will descend from the roof soon would be like saying Clinton Grybas will pop into the 3AW commentary box this week... Bloody disrespectful.
For what it's worth Vince and Jim Ross had a huge argument straight after RAW as JR was pissed at being "drafted". The next day Vince was in attendance at a press conference for WM25 in Orlando. It is a convenient way for the Million dollar giveaway to come to an end, as it didn't help with the ratings.
Any other questions?

It is not, seriously if you took it that way, you're the one that is bloody disrespectful if that's where your mind is at.
I didn't even say he'd descen from the roof soon, I just asked you a question as so much is staged in WWE as you said.
I can promise you my intent was not to be disrespectful, I was an Owen Hart fan.
You were insinuating that everything that goes wrong in WWE is staged, thought I would give a very obvious example to show that it isn't always the case.

PS If it was staged, along with the draft it shows that WWE is really struggling at the minute, must be worried about the TNA juggernaut, and fair enough too! Just a matter of time before people will turn over to the better product in TNA, it takes some longer than others though.


MY question to you is why are you such a grumpy glaff half empty sort of guy, I know you're a Norwood man but surely the disappointment of them is made up for recently with the Cats? Lighten up mate, see you at Footy Park in 2 Fridays, got my tix today!

Like Fester I thought its a Work. And it must be undertaker coming back!!

It was definitely a work. In pretty poor taste too IMHO given that a TNA worker was killed in a scaffolding collapse after Slammiversery a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry wedgie, i misunderstood the intent of your reply, thought you were being a smartarse. Of course not everything that goes wrong is staged and to use Clinton was just as disrespectful on my behalf.
Im not a grumpy old bastard believe it or not!
Got some members tix for the Cats-Cows game so I'll be there, There will be a Geelong function in the Footy Park dining room after the match, $5 non-members, members free, say g'day if you pop in, I reckon you'll know my ugly mug!

SPOILER ALERT** Undertaker will re-appear and cause a commotion at the Vicki-Edge wedding then head over for a final run on RAW, retiring at WM25 in a match with HBK. Trust me on this, heard it from a Smackdown ref I was talking to outside the Hilton.

Wedgie's comment was not disrespectful at all.

If it wasn't staged the cameras would have cut off really really quickly, not kept filming.

Good point by Rod Rooster re: the TNA guy getting killed (for real) in a similar way. WWE is not known for its good taste though.

Although it is struggling, I don't think WWE is worried about TNA Wedgie.

Good match to end his career on, with an arch rival of old...
The very first 'Hell in a Cell' match was between those two combatants!
Mind you, it's the Undertaker/Mankind match that'll go down in history!

Agreed, would be a very good match to end his career. They haven't had a singles match since 1998 (when Shawn injured his back that halted his career for many years). They had some good matches back then, their original Hell In A Cell still remains the best one.

Big result on Raw this week!
