10 Moves WWE Must Make To Regain Popularity

Speaking of the McMahon vanity project, Vince is to WWE what Jerry Jones is to the Dallas Cowboys. It is truly ironic because the two men love their companies so much, and without the younger versions of themselves the organizations would not be where they are today, but for a long time now, they've been their organization's own worst enemy.

At the risk of sounding like an ageist, it has to play a factor. In many businesses, age and youth may not be as important, but in the business of sports-entertainment, it is. Generating an audience is key and presenting a product that's reflective of the current times and is in-touch with the younger, modern audience seems to be out of reach for the 71 year-old promoter. For this reason alone, McMahon needs to delegate more of his responsibilities to the next generation.

In another ironic twist, Vince has always put a heavy reliance on youth. Whether it's making talents dye their gray hair to appear more youthful or featuring few female talent over the age of 40, (the appearance of) youth has always been something by which Vince judges all talents. Were Vince to shine that critical spotlight back towards his own position, one that would equally benefit from a youthful presence, he'd have been removed from power faster than the Nacho Man and Huckster replaced the Macho Man and Hulkster.
