10 Things Vince McMahon Has In Common With A Small Child

4. He Is Incredibly Forgetful

Vince McMahon Is A Child
WWE

Ask your child what they learned at school that day, when you greet them coming home from work, and you're likely to receive the following response: "Don't know" or "Can't remember".

Short-term memory issues are a common childhood phenomena. Kids process a great deal of information, often for the very first time, and it is overwhelming to them. They daydream and are at their most creative, which compounds things. This lax formative memory compounds the fact that you have to repeat every instruction you've ever imparted about 15 times.

Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Brush your teeth. Christ almighty, you sound like Michael Cole instructing what WWE deems to be its idiotic fans to grasp the rules of the Money In The Bank ladder match.

Climb the ladder. Retrieve the briefcase. Climb the ladder. Retrieve the briefcase. Climb the ladder. Retrieve the briefcase. Climb the ladder. Retrieve the briefcase. Climb the ladder. Retrieve the briefcase.

Vince McMahon is as forgetful as a child. He could barely remember his own storylines. In July of last year, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter moved to confirm the dark Twitter rumours that he booked the same matches over and over again because he'd forgotten that he'd already booked them.
