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

#4 Less emphasis on looks

Just having the look won't be enough once Vince leaves

Vince McMahon places more emphasis on looks and physical appearance than any other promoter out there. Even Triple H, his son-in-law, who was for a long time a looks-centric wrestler, has adapted to focusing on less-obvious aspects of a wrestler’s attributes and has created stars of his own without focusing so much on looks.

But as long as Vince is in charge, you can expect the same mentality to be in place when it comes to the top stars: an emphasis on 1980s-style chiselled good looks and muscles as opposed to grappling ability, charisma and speaking skills.

However, those traits are likely to change when Vince is done because it really is an antiquated approach to wrestling. Just look at the two biggest organic stars in WWE over the past eight years: CM Punk and Daniel Bryan.

Neither of them were ‘looks-centric’ wrestlers but were instead noted for their grappling abilities and their connections with the audience. Both of them became WWE Champions at least once and were among the most popular wrestlers on the entire roster during their respective primes.

So when Vince leaves WWE, the new regime is likely to recognize that a looks-centric approach will no longer work on the main roster. It is likely that a new emphasis on actual wrestling skill and charisma will be adopted, which will lead to a different cadre of wrestlers being pushed to the forefront.
