Revered by many as the man who has revolutionised professional wrestling, Vincent Kennedy McMahon is equally derided by the same people who watch his product. Not all wrestling fans do so, but a large portion of the audience are becoming ever more comfortable referring to the guy as an 'out of touch old man', one who should be put out to pasture for the good of WWE. Perhaps people feel his ideas are outdated, and many have put full faith behind Triple H - pointing to his work with NXT and the WWE Performance Center - as examples of why McMahon's time has come. When pointing the finger of blame as to why the current product is generally deemed stale, Vince McMahon seems to get the most derision, but what about all the good things he has done for the industry? Sure, every wrestling fan on the planet is entitled to their own opinion, but nobody can ignore the overwhelming positives Vince McMahon has brought to the business we all love. The response to his appearance on Steve Austin's podcast crossed a wide spectrum of thoughts and feelings, with fans worldwide seething at his words regarding stars such as Cesaro, yet applauding the man's lack of avoidance when asked some tough questions, ones the WWE CEO was likely uncomfortable answering in such a public forum. So, with all the differing theories on the man's place in modern-day WWE, just why does Vince McMahon deserve the respect of wrestling fans all over the globe?
