10 Reasons Vince McMahon Needs To Retire By Year’s End

7. He Doesn't Trust His Own Roster

Vince is the walking definition of a micro-manager; he approves everything, he controls everything, and everyone else has to accept that. When Vince appeared on Steve Austin€™s podcast, he made his now-infamous €˜brass rings€™ comment, insinuating that no on since John Cena in 2004 has demonstrated any star power in his eyes. That includes people that have carried his company like Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Jeff Hardy, and many others. This makes something that Punk said in his appearance on Colt Cabana€™s podcast possibly more telling than originally thought. Punk suggested that the WWE (meaning Vince) only has long-term plans for Cena, while everyone else is more or less left to their own devices. If Vince doesn€™t see anything in his own roster, what point is there for them to try and harder? What kind of boss tells his employees, who are putting their lives in harm€™s way each time they enter the ring, that none of them have €˜it€™? Even worse, his micromanaging has gotten so bad that he basically decides everything that€™s said and the creative direction of each wrestler. He is heavily rumored to be the one behind Roman Reigns€™ recent promos, which were absolutely terrible. In decades past, he trusted his talent to come up with their own ideas and it worked; just look at €˜Stone Cold€™ Steve Austin and The Rock. Had they remained as The Ringmaster and Rocky Maivia, respectively, WWF might€™ve actually lost the Monday Night Wars. Vince needs to give control back to the Superstars and to Creative. He can€™t hold everyone on such a tight leash, and if he can€™t learn this lesson, then he should retire, and leave the company in the hands of someone who gives more power to their Superstars.
