Bottom line: The Vince McMahon "murder" in Wilkes-Barre was a hoax, folks. A joke. A publicity stunt. As the linked article from the Citizens' Voice describes, the pyrotechnics were filmed the night before, and the car was re-torched and placed in view of people leaving the Wachovia Arena. It was a fake. Vince McMahon was not blown up, was not murdered, was not dead.
Chris Benoit and his family are dead, for real. So are Owen Hart and Eddie Guerrero.
Vince McMahon, at the time of this writing, is alive and well.

How could I have missed this? Beloved WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was apparently MURDERED in a fiery explosion outside of the Wachovia Arena in Wilkes-Barre Township (not to be confused with the nearby City of Wilkes-Barre) Monday night. The Citizens' Voice has full details.
Oddly enough, I managed to also miss the frenzy of police and fire department calls that must have followed such a brazen act, as well as the subsequent local news coverage. While some might hope that he might have miraculously survived such an explosion - perhaps being blown clear, not unlike Robert DeNiro's character in the beginning of Casino, and possibly landing on the roof of the neighboring BYOB bar, Gentlemen's Club X, to be rescued, resuscitated, and lovingly nursed back to health by a bevy of performers - sadly, this does not appear to be possible, according to eyewitness accounts reportedly posted on the WWE website. I suppose the Arena will now become a pilgrimage destination for mourning fans of the WWE and its recently-shaved kingpin.
Shockingly, this calls to mind the recent murder of a local "adult" film producer, who was stabbed to death inside his Dallas Township home, which was then torched. Is there a connection? Who can say?
