10 changes to expect when Vince McMahon is done with the WWE

#1 A return to traditional wrestling

This was a simple, one-time match without ridiculous 'characters', and it was one of the best things in WWE of 2017

Vince’s approach to wrestling is one that emphasizes larger-than-life ‘characters’ and a focus on drama and stories, with a little bit of actual wrestling put in the middle. This approach has been criticized routinely for many years, especially over the past decade or so, as Vince and company have struggled significantly in creating new and popular stars without having to rely on outside hiring.

This struggle exists because Vince still seeks out ‘characters’, even though much of the wrestling business has evolved into a desire for ‘grapplers’ and ‘workers’ instead. But as long as Vince remains in charge, that character-driven approach will stay in place, because he still thinks the fans secretly want what he likes, no matter how much their negative reactions might indicate otherwise.

But Vince will depart from WWE sooner or later, and when he does, he’ll take his antiquated approach to creativity with him. Many people that now work in WWE recognize that the industry has changed, and the need for these over-the-top characters has disappeared. So when Vince finally leaves WWE, that old approach will no longer have any powerful supporters in WWE’s decision-making process.
