What’s Really Going On With Vince McMahon
By Scott Keith on June 27, 2019
Scott,
I have a theory as to what might actually be going on with Vince McMahon.
Vince has historically been erratic and sort of insane, but it seems like the past few years he has really ramped up the crazy. Sure, a 70-something year old steroid and cocaine abuser who sleeps 4 hours a night is probably going to lose his marbles eventually, but I'm going to go a step further: Vince McMahon has a degenerative condition of some kind and is actively dying, and has been since 2011.
We all remember that weird segment from RAW back in 2011, where Triple H told Vince the Board of Directors was removing him, "I Love You, Pop," Vince bawling in the ring, etc. Something about that segment always struck me as….. off. Vince is many things, but a great dramatic actor isn't one of them. Those tears were 100% a shoot, and would make zero sense if that segment was just a wrestling angle. Something was going on that night that we never really got the full story about.
I think Vince found out sometime shortly before that night that he was diagnosed with some kind of degenerative disease or disorder (dementia? Alzheimer's, Parkinson's?), but of course this information would never be leaked because it would freak out the shareholders (and some of them would just think they were being worked again after the limo explosion fiasco). So Vince wrote himself off TV. Of course, plans change, and Vince had to keep putting himself back on screen whenever ratings needed a boost… but am I the only one who has noticed that Vince seems to have aged about 30 years in the past 10? He looks awful. Like, unduly awful considering how he had been aging up until 2011 or so. Something is up with the old man's health.
I wonder how much of what is going on right now (this crazy Shane push, for example, and the never-ending Reigns push before that) is basically Hunter and the others giving Vince what they think are his last dying wishes? It would actually explain a lot.
Well, he's looking pretty crazy this morning, that's for sure…
