Illegitimate Child

This is well worth noting in the McMahon Strikes Back part of the article or creating a new section for it under his storylines section. 82.4.71.30 03:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this kayfabe?

Yes, it's completely kayfabe. But this isn't forum, ask on a wrestling discussion board elsewhere next time. Gavyn Sykes 00:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The next time someone asks a simple question, perhaps you can try to not respond like a stuck up jackass -me

Firings

I'm pretty sure that the list of people McMahon has fired is much longer than the one given in the article (and also, Jim Ross was fired multiple times on-screen). So the question is, should we expand it, to include all the other on-screen firings, or should we instead trim it down, including only the more notable firings, and rename it a "selected list"? Calgary 21:08, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, this list goes far beyond what it actually has. This is clearly list cruft, and has been removed. — Moe ε 23:31, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The fireings were important for angles so if you delete that than the kiss my ass list has got to go too —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnycash316 (talk • contribs) 02:30, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

"You're fired"

While the article mentions the parallels between McMahon's and Trump's "You're fired" proclamations, the regular on-screen declaration goes back a few more decades, to Mr. Spacely's regular firings of George Jetson on The Jetsons. McMahon's method of saying it, although not as bombastic, seems to parallel Spacely's. 66.217.50.209 19:41, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edits from World Wrestling Entertainment

Take a look at what the Wikipedia scanner pulled up for edits coming from the World Wrestling Entertainment headquarters. [1] Four edits to this talk page about how we should have a section on Mr. McMahon's 'death' by limo explosion. Thought that might raise a few brows. — Moe ε 21:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I've just noticed. Davnel03 19:19, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There edits:- edit 1, edit 2, edit 3 and edit 4. I'm going to keep a VERY close eye on their edits. Hey, let's check TNA's edits.... (if any) Davnel03 19:24, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tried to check for TNA ediing, but nothimg comes up. — Moe ε 19:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Under Involvent in Storylines...

Should we add Melina to the list of divas Vince has put himself into sexual angles with? There was the whole thing on SNME, and their conversation on the subsequent RAW. (Sawyer 20:24, 22 August 2007 (UTC))[reply]

That's not really important. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:15, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

themesong

how come you guys don't have his theme song down here —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.141.161.245 (talk) 03:06, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

It's added. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 17:22, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mr.mcmahons age

on monday augest 26th mr.mcmahon was celebratning his 50th birthday dosent that mean hes fifty and not 62? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.231.26 (talk) 18:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most likely kayfabe, did he even remotely look 49 last week? No sources verify that he was born in 1957. — Moe ε 00:16, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Come on think about it. It was treated as a joke on TV was taken as a joke. Vince is 62 not 50SimonD 15:13, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Triple H called Vince 70 years old. It was a joke, since Vince was trying to go low, and HHH went high. It is 62, I am sure. 75.162.42.244

Another point; Shane McMahon made a note last year that they tried celebrating his dad's [Vince]'s 61st birthday...... Hope you caught up. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:10, 06 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Separate articles for Vince McMahon and Mr. McMahon?

Just like it's done with Stephen Colbert. "Vince McMahon" would be an article about McMahon's personal life, etc., while "Mr. McMahon" would be an article about the character he plays on TV. I am sure there is sufficient information on both subjects to make the move, and it would help keep wikipedia consistent with how other articles are done involving a real life person and a character they play on TV. Anybody agree or disagree? RealFerrari 08:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
