4 Reasons why it's time for Vince McMahon to go

#4 WWE Needs New Ideas

This needs to become real. Now. No more waiting.

Mirroring the audience decline, WWE's median viewer is about 50. Most of them are probably holdovers from the Attitude Era. The company isn't replenishing itself with younger viewers who stick around for the long haul. That needs to be even more alarming than the yearly audience decline.

In every organization, ideas get entrenched and the old guard is reluctant to break from them. It's the inertia of human interaction that mirrors the natural physical phenomenon. But there comes a time when change is necessary. Now is that time.

WWE needs new ideas to connect to a new generation. Vince McMahon isn't going to provide those new ideas. When you look at his booking style, it's truthfully not much different now than it was in the 1980s or Attitude Era. It's just much more erratic and inconsistent, and tends to favor heels instead of babyfaces.

Contrast the main roster WWE product with NXT, NJPW, or other organizations, and you can immediately see the difference. They feel newer, fresher, more in touch with the times, all the while still keeping the things that make professional wrestling work.

The main roster product is lagging behind. It needs a new impetus to reinvigorate it, reorganize it, and put plans in place for all, rather than a few performers. This force is needed to break the stagnation that's gripped the product.

Vince McMahon isn't going to provide that impetus. He's going to continue doing what he's always done, as is normal for men of his age group and success level - they often don't have the incentive to change, because the status quo has worked so well for them.

But it's not working now, and for the sake of his organization, he needs to step aside for newer, younger leadership.
