  27. 27

    Oh well he was a famous side kick, drunk and finally die a broke bum. His 15 minutes were up when Johnny end his show. I hope all the scanks he supported get their just rewards and die broke

  29. 29

    Re: dudeyousuckass – Really? Have you been living under a rock? He's been in rough shape for a while. You must be some kind of moron to not have seen it coming.



  30. 30

    Awww, that's sad! He was an icon….



  31. 31

    so sad!:(



  32. 32

    Condolences to his family. R.I.P. Mr. McMahon.



  33. 33

    OMG! I know this is shocking! I just turned on the News and saw it on CNN! I wasnt a huge fan but I am sad and stunned! RIP You will be missed :(



  34. 34

    Re: El Jesus – Funny but not the right place for this lol.



  35. 35

    Re: Edgenet – I am sick enough of the over-use of the term "15 minutes of fame" when it's used in the right context. Using it to describe a 40+ year career…. you gotta be a special kind of stupid.



  36. 36

    He lived a good full life. :(



  37. 37

    it should have been you



  38. 38

    Maybe he was really a self-loathing gay who used anti-gay slurs against others in an attempt to dehumanize them.

    No wait, that would be YOU.

    Take a hint from Ed, Mario, and drop dead.



  39. 39

    :( so sad RIP!



  40. 40

    THERE GOES THE HOUSE!!! NOW THAT NO ONE IS STOPPING THE BANKS FROM FORECLOSING, HIS GOLD DIGGING WIFE GETS THE DESERVED BOOT!! CYA!!



  41. 41

    :( R.I.P. :(



  42. 42

    God you are such a hyprocrite. You tore this man up when he was going through the hardest thing a person could….loosing his home, and now you're all sympathetic toward his passing? You really have no scruples, do you Mario.



  43. 43

    Re: Swords Woman – Clever.



  44. 44


  45. 45

    Re: JigSaw – Yeah, right about that.



  46. 46

    Re: Edgenet – Wow, hope people feel the same about you, when you pass.



  47. 47

    Re: xcalibur – Wow, that's cold. Way to kick a woman when she's down. Just remember, what goes around, comes around and I'm sure you're no saint.



  48. 48

    Rest IN Piece to the greatest TV sidekick of all time. Now, you're back with Johnny.



  49. 49

    Sad. At least he doesn't have to worry about his debt. Now his wife will have to deal with what she racked up. Bwahahaha!



  50. 50

    he was an icon for sure he will be missed



  51. 51

    Same old song- just a drop of water in an endless sea… RIP Ed.



  52. 52

    So Sad Rip hes likely hanging with Johnny.



  53. 53

    Wow. He was truly a legend. My condolences go out to his family and friends. I met him in person once, and he was truly larger than life, and very nice.



  54. 54

    Re: Alliestp – agreed Perez WILL get whats coming to him even though he already got the BOOM BOOM POW ! he will get it again



  55. 55

    RIP Perez Hilton!
    have a feeling you have committed Career suicide!



  56. 56

    At least he died before he got thrown on the street. I am sure that his gold digging bitch of a wife will put on some show at the wake to try and get money for her future from some of his rich friends. You know what else if fucked up???? That there will be thousands of people that show up to his wake and people will all talk about how close they were to him, but yet no one was going to bail him out of his foreclosure. Only in Hollywood. The fakest fucking city in the world. No friends are true friends.



  57. 57

    …now……. here's……the afterlife!
    .
    RIP!



  58. 58
