10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About 2022

1. Vince McMahon Resigned In Disgrace

It wasn't time for Vince McMahon to retire. It certainly wasn't time for Vince to retire at 77, since he was 76 at the time. Stupid awld tw*t.

His tweet suggested that, at 77 (he was 76), he'd simply done all he could and had succumbed to father time, just as we all do. He was tired. He couldn't keep on doing this forever. He recognised that a new vision was needed to drive WWE further forward (which is why he selected his protégé as his successor, who studied exclusively under him and produces television in almost the exact same way). He wanted to sail on his yacht with a few mai tais hand in hand with his wife at the time-his wife...

...which is why he has subsequently been pictured socialising with women who are not Linda McMahon. Then again, she could've been sat there. You'd never remember.

It wasn't time for Vince McMahon to retire because Vince McMahon, amid non-disclosure agreements uncovered by the Wall Street Journal pertaining to multiple allegations of historical sexual misconduct, was under pressure to resign.

And he did.

In disgrace.

WWE wants you to forget this because it's deplorable, primarily, and because they did a bad job of making you forget initially by promoting him on television in the pursuit of a rating.
