Vince McMahon retires from WWE? 😲

I thought that he would still be demanding to run everything... as the ultimate workaholic and doing things he's not supposed too...

But I guess age (77) and scandals (paying female employees to keep quiet about non-work related activities)... finally got to him...

Sounds like his daughter Stephanie McMahon is now in control with co-CEO Nick Kahn.

Interesting to see how much changes... clearly Stephanie's husband vision for NXT was different than Vince's vision.

@ExperienceDLT true but when hhh ran nxt it was the best program they had vince had no say in it when vince took control of it it turned into the shit it is today

ExperienceDLT · M

@GeorgeTBH true but i dont see Stephanie being any better than the old man was to be honest pro wrestling as a whole is pretty much unwatchable anymore it is too "entertainment storyline" dictated wrestlung needs to go back to its old school roots just old school whipping each others ass not all this story line junk

GeorgeTBH · 31-35, M

@ExperienceDLT who knows

ExperienceDLT · M

@GeorgeTBH id like to see Ric Flair start a wrestling company he would know how to run one

Viper · M

@ExperienceDLT Roc Flair is all about Roc Flair, he might be just as bad or worse than Vince...

Viper · M

@GeorgeTBH I totally agree, I felt like the WWE when back to the boring days with no competition...

Basically back to the Hogan 80s/90s, but the difference being it fit that cultural and era, but it didn't fit the current culture and era.

And HHH put in the best WWE shoes in decades!

Also, Chris Jericho would be an amazing story teller helping others...

@Viper at least he knows old school wrestling but i can understand your point about him being all about him he does have an ego

GeorgeTBH · 31-35, M

@ExperienceDLT ya he would hes doing a retirement match officially at the end of the month but he probably would

Viper · M

@ExperienceDLT Vince knows old school wrestling too, AND that's the problem!

It's old school booking in a new school world...

Get someone that can actually relate to it be the 21st century

ExperienceDLT · M

@Viper but what exactly is the definition of 21st century wrestling

Viper · M

@ExperienceDLT check out the independent scene, or AEW... they actually do stuff that's modern...

ExperienceDLT · M

@Viper i like AEW and the main reason is i like the working relationship they have with NJPW my opinion New Japan is the best wrestling going right now

ExperienceDLT · M

@Viper do you have a preference of promotions?

Viper · M

@ExperienceDLT I really only follow WWE, I'm loyal like that, I get a favorite and stick with it, but it's been crap the last 10-15 years as a whole...

I haven't seen much Japanese stuff, but when I have, it's been amazing, it wouldn't surprise me if they had the best right now.

ExperienceDLT · M

@Viper New Japan has some real talent if you like high flyer types look up Will Osprey dude is freaking talented

GeorgeTBH · 31-35, M

@Viper ya and now they have aew to compete against who is putting out a better product week after week i was reading somewhere about wwe is going back to like 14a ratings to try to combat aew hopefully they just don't screw it up big time hhh in charge could be really really good
