Eventually, the transition from Vince McMahon was bound to happen
The torch was going to be passed on after Vince McMahon becomes less involved with the day-to-day operations. Although he is still quite involved, his 71st birthday not long from now signifies that Triple H and Stephanie’s commands are the way to go and any attempts to go back to the past are now over. He still makes occasional appearances promoting events like WrestleMania or being a part of storylines.
After the steroid scandal, Vince McMahon brought the WWE from the bottom to the top of the wrestling world with the Attitude Era, highlighted by an iconic match between Stone Cold and the Rock.
Despite age catching up to Vince, his tenacity and dedication to the business he built should be admired as most people his age would take a backseat and retire. The character Mr McMahon was such an integral part of wrestling even after the Attitude Era, not seeing the character on TV leaves an empty spot that hasn’t been filled by anyone on the roster to this day.
Vince McMahon took the WWE to the top, and the ratings show that it may never reach the top again.
