In any event, I don't think anyone in the front office has either the clarity of mind or the stones to tell any McMahon "Excuse me, Eddie died today, and your solution is having THE UNDERTAKER go over with the WWE Championship tonight is really awful."

Good taste was never a trait associated with Vince McMahon Jr. I remember several years ago when Brian Pillman died suddenly just before the taping for Monday Night RAW (the circumstances were similar to this situation with Eddie Guerrero). They acknowledged Pillman's death at the beginning of the program. Vince then said, "be sure to stay tuned for a very special interview with the wife of the late Brian Pillman". This was repeated several times throughout the broadcast, each time cutting away to a shot of Mrs. Pillman sitting there waiting to be interviewed. Vince saw it as an opportunity to keep people from switching over to WCW Nitro. I thought it was disgraceful to use this as a gimmick to keep people tuned in until the end of the program, at which time the interview finally took place. Vince McMahon has no conscience.

His all-time low was allowing No Way Out to continue after Owen Hart had fallen.
