#2 The most EXPLOSIVE ending to any RAW ever

June 11, 2007

Did they cross the line?

It has been just a little over a decade ago that WWE held a "Mr. McMahon Apprecation Night" on Monday Night RAW. At the time of this particular episode of RAW, the company was struggling to provide content that was worth mentioning, to be honest. Quite frankly, it was a quiet time in WWE's creative history. Well, creative officials decided to attempt a finish for the ages as Mr. McMahon's limo exploded into a fiery oblivion.

While WWE attempted to bankroll this storyline, the Chris Benoit tragedy happened less than two weeks later, putting an end to a "pretend" death situation.

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.

Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.

When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
