10 Wrestlers Who Lost Touch With Humanity

If he was ever in touch in the first place.

Vince McMahon's recent appearance on the Pat McAfee show at very least revealed more of a normal human being than the curious waxwork that's featured on Monday Night Raw for the past few years. But how could a man so willingly ensconced in his own bubble ever be connected to reality?

Many have discussed in detail how surrounded by agreeable toadies he's been for the bulk of his time atop WWE. Some of those toadies have gone from discussing it to becoming toadies themselves, such is the schizophrenic nature of how he arranges then rearranges his inner circle. Whatever makes him laugh - be it ancient television shows, films, people's disabilities, dog sh*t - will make his room laugh so he keeps laughing, and thus what we get is a WWE still rather damagingly in his image.

It's okay for Vince McMahon specifically to not be so plugged in to normal humanity. It's less than ideal that those he surrounds himself with don't actually try to help change that.
