At WrestleMania 23, Vince McMahon lost his hair, after his representative Umaga lost to Bobby Lashley.

But in the weeks that followed, it seemed that the legendary doo wasn't the only thing McMahon lost, as he showed bizarre, erratic behavior.

On the June 11, 2007, edition of RAW, McMahon eerily walked to his limousine and entered the vehicle, which exploded, presumably killing the Chairman.

An investigation was held as fans wondered the fate of the Chairman, though it was revealed just two weeks later.

In front of an empty arena, McMahon ended the storyline, after the real-life death of Chris Benoit and his family, as the company showed clips of Benoit's career.

26 hours later, after the true details of the Benoit murder-suicide came to light, McMahon appeared again, speaking publicly on the crime and ending his own storyline.
