10 Reasons Vince McMahon Needs To Retire By Year’s End
3. Triple H Has Been Doing A Fantastic Job
In the last two years, the attitudes of IWC members towards Triple H have shifted considerably. Whereas he was once demonized for burying wrestlers he didnt like, he is now praised for his ability to run and produce a wrestling program in NXT. This has not only led to fan speculation on Triple H replacing Vince, but there have also been (heated) agreements between Triple H and Vince over creative issues. There has been numerous criticisms towards Vinces direction, which in turn has led to Triple H taking a radically different approach towards NXT. While Vince looks at RAW and SmackDown from his own traditional viewpoint (which hasnt changed much in years), Triple H looks at NXT from a wrestlers perspective, which brings an entirely new dynamic to how the show is structured. The runaway success of the NXT specials have truly brought this different to light. Fans adore Triple Hs NXT, which has long-running feuds, shorter yet more relevant promos, a reasonable commentary team that calls the matches (quite the novelty, right?), and most importantly, a show centered on telling stories through wrestling, instead of stories being told with wrestling matches featured on the side. Furthermore, Triple H could arguably be considered a better leader because of what he has accomplished with Hall of Famers. Many believe that Triple H was the catalyst in convincing Bruno Sammartino, the Ultimate Warrior and the family of Macho Man Randy Savage to come back after years/decades of strained relations with WWE and especially Vince himself. This is arguably because Triple H is looking at these legends from a business perspective, while Vince still has his old grudges. If Vince cant move forward, abandon his rivalries and forgive and forget, he should retire, and leave the company to his son-in-law.
