RAW: The 5 Biggest Flaws with the McMahons' “Shake-Up”

2) More McMahons on TV

Get ready to feel the McMahons' presence on WWE programming

Back during the Attitude Era, Vince McMahon become a pivotal part of the on-screen WWE product; going from on-screen commentator to becoming the most hated villain during the hottest time the wrestling business has ever seen.

That was two decades ago, though.

By the time the Attitude Era had come to a close in 2001, the Vince McMahon character had peaked. Anything more from “Mr. McMahon” was overkill in the years that followed. The same thing can be said for Shane, and then there’s a very good argument to be made that Stephanie McMahon became an instant channel-changer by the time the McMahon-Helmsley Era was dominating WWE programming in 2000.

The point being, to tweak a famous phrase, too many McMahons spoil the broth.

McMahons as an authority figure? That was so 1997. That was so 2002. That was so 2016. And now, we’ve got Vince, Stephanie, Shane, and Triple H all promising that they will be taking on-screen control of Raw and SmackDown? Quick, pass me that TV remote!

Wrestling authority figures, to be blunt, have long been out of fashion and long been a turn-off for fans. And now, we have the prospect of a huge on-screen McMahon presence going forward? Urgh.
