10 Things Vince McMahon Has In Common With A Small Child

5. He Can Be Awful To His Family

Vince McMahon Is A Child
WWE

Kids are wildly emotional creatures who haven't yet learned how to behave appropriately. The job of the parent is prepare the child for this evetually happening.

A child is not expected to conduct themselves properly. They're going to run away in a supermarket. They're going to express boredom when they're in church. They're going to make you wish you were doing literally anything else, even watching every Performance Center Raw back-to-back, if you sit near them on a plane.

They're also going to say that they hate you if you dare to prevent them from playing a game if they misbehave. They'll cry unfair and say that they prefer the guardian who hasn't punished them. They'll throw a massive tantrum and call you worse than sh*t.

That is because they are very young.

Vince McMahon will - if the more cynical rumour and innuendo is to be believed - demote his own flesh and blood if they fail a task that they were never going to succeed at. NXT was never beating AEW - it existed only to chip away at its viewership - but Vince appeared to punish his son-in-law at the time by playing IRL Splatoon over Paul's beloved dank pit on Tuesday nights.
