Triple H could be the real hitman
By TIM BAINES
It's a whodunnit WWE style.
An exploding stretch limo up in flames. A WWE boss, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, mourned as dead. Suspects questioned.
Ah, this is destined to be a ratings grabber. Given a bit of time to line up a cast of suspects, it hit me ... geez, they wouldn't put Bret Hart into a storyline, would they?
But as Stephanie McMahon stepped out of that limo and began her solemn march to the ring Monday night on RAW, it hit me.
Triple H. The Game.
Forget Mick Foley, Bobby Lashley, John Cena, Shawn Michaels or any of the laundry list of others who had motive to "kill" McMahon. For crying out loud, it was Triple H who did the deed. He planted the bomb, then sat in the grassy knoll, snickering as his father-in-law ... er, boss ... went up in flames.
Sidelined early this year with a torn quadriceps, Triple H is hoping to participate in this year's Summer Slam. But his TV return could be soon, perhaps to be revealed as a murderer.
Innocent until proven guilty. Well, until they find a sledgehammer at the scene of the crime.
And let's just hope, with apologies to Katie Vick, that this is one corpse The Game doesn't want to sleep with.

The Fans Accuse Triple H
WWE.com is taking a look at who our fans worldwide think was behind the Mr. McMahon limousine explosion July 11 in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Here's just a sampling from fans' submissions that suggested that former WWE Champion Triple H is the guilty party.
* Dana said: I think it was Triple H because they are known to have a bad past.
* Craig Roebuck said: Triple H, since his injury he has had a lot of time on his hands, so he killed Mr. McMahon.
* Tom said: Triple H has been screwed over and over again by Mr. McMahon, especially since DX was reunited.
* AK said: Triple H has been out of action and it's the perfect time to return. He sees a weak Mr. McMahon, he wants to regain the WWE Championship from John Cena, and he wants to take over the company. He has the most to gain and nothing to lose.
* Marvin said: Triple H has been plotting against Mr. McMahon since his injury.
* Marco Arbayza said: Triple H hates Mr. McMahon with all his soul.
* Billy said: Triple H ... There's a lot of history there and no one messes with The Game.
* Luke McShane said: Triple H is the Cerebral Assassin! He can get to you even when you cant see him. Plus he hates Mr. McMahon.
* Gabe Murgo said: Remember years ago when someone ran down Stone Cold at the Survivor Series? Remember who was behind that? (Triple H)

EliteXC To Have Their Own Reality Show In The Future?
Move over TUF, here comes EliteXC. Earlier this week, ProElite, Inc., the parent company of EliteXC, filed a current report with the Securites and Exchange Commission disclosing that it had entered into an agreement with Emmy award winning producer Mark Burnett to create a new mma reality show. For those of you who don't know, Burnett is the man responsible for the shows Survivor, the Apprentice, Rock Star and the Contender. Basically, EliteXC joining forces with Mark to create an mma reality show is the equivalent of an mma organization joining forces with Martin Scorsese to create an mma motion picture.
Details of the actual agreement were limited, but what we do know is that Mark will have ultimate control over the series and there is a possibility of Mark producing ppv events based on the series. Burnett is set to receive 17,000,000 shares of ProElite common stock exercisable at $3.00 per share in exchange for his services. As of June 21, there were approximately 43 million shares of ProElite common stock outstanding trading at $12.00 per share.

Dale Jr. signs with Sony for Hendrick ride
OAKVILLE, Calif. (AP) - From the time his sister lent him money to buy his first computer, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been wowed by technology. Now, NASCAR's most popular driver has an endorsement deal with Sony Electronics.
"I'm a big electronics fan. I'm a big computer guy. It's products I can dig," Earnhardt said Thursday at a winery in the heart of California's Napa Valley, where he announced the Sony deal. He will be competing on Sunday in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway in nearby Sonoma.
His deal with Sony is a personal services contract that gives the company use of his name, likeness and voice for promotions. He also has a similar deal with Budweiser that will continue next year, regardless of what's on his car.
Meanwhile, Junior still isn't saying what role longtime sponsor Budweiser will have with him when he joins Hendrick Motorsports next season.
Budweiser has been Earnhardt's primary sponsor since 1999, and the beer manufacturer wants to continue its relationship with him at Hendrick. But car owner Rick Hendrick isn't actively pursuing new sponsors, and it's possible Bud could get shut out.
Earnhardt also said a possible endorsement deal with sporting goods manufacturer Adidas was "on the wish list."
Earnhardt's move to Hendrick is expected to clean up his sometimes scruffy image to match that of his teammates, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, although he appeared at Thursday's news conference in a scraggy beard, an untucked dress shirt and worn jeans - with Puma athletic shoes.
Earnhardt said he took to computers early on, but that his father never believed the Internet would be a success.
"That's one place he was wrong and I was right. I took a lot of typing classes in high school," he said.
Neither Earnhardt nor Stuart Redsun, Sony's vice president of corporate marketing, would discuss the financial arrangement or the length of the deal.
"We're very happy at Sony to have Dale Junior involved for some time," Redsun said.
Earnhardt said he got a new digital camera out of the deal.
"The cash is great, but the product is good, too," he said.

Brooklyn Woman Prays For Niece Missing In Florida
(CBS/AP) BROOKLYN A woman whose 22-year-old niece went missing last month while visiting relatives in Florida says it's been nothing but "sleepless nights" for the family since the disappearance.
"It's sleepless nights," Daffodil Samuel said Sunday at the family's home in the East New York section of Brooklyn. "It's being hungry and can't eat. It's fasting and constant prayer."
The missing woman, Stepha Henry, was last seen by relatives at their South Florida home on May 29 getting into a black sedan with a man. Henry, who was visiting the area with her 16-year-old sister, said she was going to a nightclub.
Miami-Dade County police have said they don't know if foul play is involved and Henry's case is under investigation. They have examined abandoned cars and traced signals from her cell phone, which now goes straight to voicemail.
Henry is black, 5-foot-2 and 110 pounds and has brown eyes and red hair that falls just past her shoulders. She is an honors graduate of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, is fascinated by criminal cases and aspires to be a lawyer, relatives said....More?
