Vince makes the Walk Of Fame

[Dead Crow 370]

World Wrestling Entertainment's Vince McMahon was among the names announced as being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2008, The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Walk of Fame Committee announced today.

 

McMahon will receive a special ceremony and a permanent star on the Walk of Fame, which runs three and a half miles down the sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard. The date of the ceremony was not announced.

 

McMahon will be honored under the Television category, for his contribution to the broadcast television industry. There are five different categories an individual (including fictional characters, like Kermit the Frog and Mickey Mouse) can be honored under, one for each point of the star.

 

To be honored on the Walk of Fame, the honoree must agree to attend a presentation ceremony within five years of selection. A $25,000 fee must be paid to the Hollywood Historic Trust which oversees the Walk of Fame. The Trust uses the $25,000 towards costs of the star's installment and security at the ceremony, among other related costs.

 

Expect World Wrestling Entertainment to make a major deal out of the ceremony, including an appearance from "beyond the grave" of the "deceased" McMahon.

Congratulations to Vince. Like him or not, he's still the most successful wrestling promoter ever and has produced an extremely successful and long-running TV show in Raw.

That sucks, oh well, at least he'll be there in spirit.

 

EDIT - Ah, just saw the last sentence, saying the 'deceased' Vince would be there. It'd be awesome if he turned up with a sheet over his head going 'ooooooooo' like in Scooby Doo or something.

So they select you, and then you have to pay for the honour? :lol

 

Thats bent.

[Guest Dave7g]

He can't do it can he, being dead and all.

[Guest FreeSpirit]

That's a fantastic honour for Mr McMahon to receive, a bit of an insult that he'll have to pay $25K for it, but otherwise nice one.

[wyndorf 389]

I reckon if Warrior, Nailz and Sammartino have a quick whip round they'll come up with $25k.

[Guest Kanenite]

Great news for Vince and thoroughly deserved. Bit sad saying we'll give you a star on the walk of fame but you have to pay for it though, awhell still a great honour.

[Guest Dave7g]

He'll join the ranks of Big Bird, Paula Abdul, The Harlem Globetrotters, Pee Wee Herman, Judge Judy and Winnie the Pooh.

 

Seems to me like they are running out of celebs...

That's like being given half a gift, isn't it? "Here, we got you this...But to make it work, you need to buy this, this and that".

[Guest dpddave]

My name is on the walk aswel,although at the time i only had to pay $20,000

Outside of Judy and a "maybe" on Herman, everyone else you've listed is a huge act. Long before idol Paula was one of the biggest pop stars out there, and Big Bird and Winnie are icons. The Globetrotters have been entertainment favorites for a long, long time now, One of the most storied teams of all time.

He can't do it can he, being dead and all.

I guess it can be accepted posthumously, in the same way that Big John Studd and Curt Hennig were inducted into the HoF after their deaths.

I think someone is wanting a star of their own.

[Guest Al Stevens]

[Guest The Great Ahmar]

Ok, so if the WWE plan on showing clips of this ceremony, are they going to continue the death of Mr.McMahon angle and 5 minutes later they are going to show a clip of Vincent Kennedy McMahon alive, accepting this walk of fame thing?

 

That would be freaking stupid.

 

Mr.McMahon is dead, but Vincent Kennedy McMahon is alive. Come on!
