Talk:Vince McMahon/Archive 1

message: I thought McMahon dropped off the billionaires list back in 2001? He's not on the Forbes list of billionares
:According to Wrestleview.com he's not a billionaire. This is backed up by SEC.Edgar-online.com which says he owns about 56m shares. At their current value (about $16) he's worth approx $900m. I'm therefore once again removing the "billionaire" claim unless someone can cite me a reliable source saying otherwise. --DeLarge 08:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This new era is featuring alot of shoots and breaking of kayfabe, especially the court room scene on December 5th RAW where Chris Masters was referred to as his real surname Mordetsky in terms of lying under oath. Hi.
I don't really think this was breaking kayfabe as in these situations (even though it wasn't real) you have to use your real name. K-man-1 11:19, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I have seen the actual video footage of McMahon using the "N" word on Cena at last year's Survivor Series, although finding that video clip on the internet is very difficult to achieve. If anyone (or the one who provided this Controversy section to the article) has the actual video clip of that particular backstage promo, feel free to contribute it as well. There is an online blog somewhere on the web that has a video clip of the promo posted, but currently, it is down. If at any moment, the author of that blog is able to fix the video link, I feel it is appropriate to provide that link here:

thread_title:  The Controversy Section 

message: This article is very long and contains a lot of crap (especially with the weekly play-by-play of the HBK and HHH feuds) that I don't have time right now to fix.  I encourage everyone to look and removing non-relevant material.  --TheTruthiness 20:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think some of this stuff should forked into an article or a section should be created called Mr. McMahon, focusing on the kayfabe stuff rather than real life. The on camera stuff just gets mixed in with the real life bio. --Jtalledo (talk) 18:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed most of the kayfabe stuff and summarized his on-camera exploits. The focus in this article should be on his real-life accomplishments, as opposed to events related to the fictional character. --Jtalledo (talk) 23:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the cleanup tag, it's below the "may be too long" size limit and looks a lot cleaner.  I think the Mr. McMahon article might be a good idea, but no other wrestler has it seperate do I don't know if we need it.  --TheTruthiness 01:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: As he is a heel right now, isn't "Mr. McMahon" his current on-screen name, and therefore to be bolded? I'll make the change, and check back later to see if there are any problems. Tromboneguy0186 07:15, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Current name 

message: "he told a WWE stunt technician to sabotage the harness of which Owen Hart was to descend from, which led to his death, rumoured to be due to Owen's erratic behaviour backstage. In other words, Owen's death was a punishment." This absolutely looks fake because even if this was real would Vince Mcmahon actually say this on tv? I am taking that part off that is rediculous Bill102 16:49, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. It is Ridiculous to accuse someone of murder without any evidence whatsoever. This was either an act of vandalism or someone with a grudge. There is no reason to keep this. --Edgelord 23:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have the name of Vince McMahon's opening theme song, and/or has a link where i can download it?
Hey Dee-Dee-Dee! The name of his song is No Chance (In Hell)! And you can download it here, but if you don't download it in seven days it will be deleted so hurry up and you should sign your name dude if you ask questions like that. 2wordsforya 14:39, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: That gimmick did not deserve a whole section to itself, and as such has been deleated.
*You cannot unilaterally delete a section for the reason stated. I believe that the kiss my ass club is notable enough to merit inclusion in this article and have reinstated it. Further comments and opinions are solicited to determine an outcome. Soltak | Talk 00:44, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You can't just go deleting whole sections because you feel like it. You have to discuss these things here on the article's talk page first. Blanking whole sections without first getting consensus like that is vandalism. I believe they are a huge part of his character and thus should be in the article.

thread_title:  Trump/McMahon Feud 

message: As reported on WWE.com, Vince McMahon has recieved an honorary doctorate degree by Sacred Heart University. According to the wikipedia article on this, he can use the title of "Doctor" but the most common usage is "Dr.h.c." after the recipients name. I've added it onto Vince McMahon's title as it's supported by the information provided. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbx118 (talk • contribs) 
: I removed the reference in the opening to McMahon being a doctor because it's just an honorary degree. I think such a reference doesn't serve the purpose of best conveying information. Readers may get the incorrect impression that he completed a doctoral program. Many celebrities have received honorary doctorates and I don't see them referred to as doctor in their intro paragraphs or as a general practice. A mention of the honorary doctorate, clearly pointing out that it is honorary in the text, might be appropriate elsewhere in the article. --JamesAM 01:03, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

message: If there are no objections, I'd like to merge the McMahon DVD section of this article to McMahon (documentary). As most of the information is redundant, it is useless to have two separate articles that discuss it. Plus, the other article goes into more detail, and it'll prevent Vince's article from becoming too lengthy. I'll probably do it in a couple of days to give anyone time to oppose if they want.
