WWE chairman Vince McMahon was rushed to hospital after a large electric sign crashed on top of him at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
Vince had just given away $500,000 in “McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania,” 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 chief 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 and a statement on Mr.McMahon’s health will be issued soon.
I hope that these people are just playing along with the storyline, because if they believe that he was actually hurt they are beyond stupid.

Felicia Daase had little choice but to watch in horror as her friends plunged “like an elevator” through the floor of a local church during a Christian rock concert in this British Columbia community late Friday night.
Several dozen people were injured at Abbotsford’s Central Heights Church when people were sent falling several metres into the basement below. A mostly teenage audience of about 1,000 had gathered in the church to watch a popular Christian rock band.
Seconds later, the large lighting and sound system, which was attached to a metal stand extending up from the floor, toppled over onto audience members as the wood beneath it gave way, witnesses said.
“The whole floor just went down, kind of like an elevator, it just went straight down,” Daase said yesterday from her home in nearby Chilliwack.
“And then I saw the beam that holds the lights and stuff, and it fell about five pews in front of me. A whole bunch of people were under it.” Full Story
According to Google News, it is, because its listed under the entertainment section. I don’t see why it would be put under that section, when “Canada” and ”Health” are choices.
I wonder if the 40 people who fell through the floor found it entertaining.
