10 Reasons Why Vince McMahon Will NEVER Shake Off The WWE ‘Stigma’
1. NXT Vs WWE
WWE is such a complex beast in 2018 that its own back room is almost entirely separate from the shop front. The positives and negatives of this have shown themselves constantly over the past few years too.
NXT TakeOver events are universally praised for seamlessly blending contemporary and traditional styles of sports entertainment and pro wrestling respectively. Overseen by the self-styled student of the profession Triple H, they're everything he ever aspired to be as performer, only substantially more entertaining.
Somehow, the main roster is neither of either. Five hours of live television each and every week brings out the absolute worst of Vince McMahon's micromanagement. Characters and arcs suffocate under the need to super-serve, evidenced most now by the once-nuanced figures that graced Full Sail University before their main roster graduation. Half survive and few thrive upon making the jump, in such volume now that the failures can't be considered unlucky.
Can he possibly make a brand new venture prosper outside his comfort zone when he can no longer use his maligned 'genius' to transpose internal success stories in his own 'universe'? McMahon's one of the greatest workers of them all, he'll make you think he did even when it collapses.
