2020 WWE Predictions We Got Horribly Wrong

3. Vince McMahon Will Retire - Ben-Roy Turner

"I'm not saying he's going to... well, he just needs to go".

At the time of this prediction, Vincent Kennedy McMahon was 74 years old. He is now 75.

Things seemed to be all set for the old dog to head on out and leave the world of big men in spandex behind. As well, he was gearing up to make a returning venture into a world of similar-sized big men in polyester. Though thanks to the Global Pandemic, aka The Global Bastard™ this all, fell apart rather swiftly.

In a twist of fate though, the XFL will live again, and hopefully, it will be third-time lucky for the Americal Football league as Dwane 'The Rock' Johnson is set to restart it all in 2022. Thanks to his purchase of the fledgling football league in 2020.

That is if we can all go outside by 2022.

But apart from that, Vince just needs to go at this point, no longer are any of WWE's main roster products bearable to watch in full. Sure there is some phenomenal talent on the roster, but they are all in some way or another hindered by the owner of the only know "Kiss My Ass Club".

Vince is out of touch, his humour questionable and his booking even petty at times. Seriously, punishment booking needs to be a thing of the past when someone requests to leave or their other half appears on another show. That and the man literally looks as if he is now melting under the bright lights in the ring, if he has had work done to his face, it is now failing him. Vince looks sad, tired, and old.

He should pack it in now before his legacy is all, but ruined. The Chairman should leave at least booking duties to the likes of Triple H who continues to do a decent job over on NXT. Or take a look at just how embarrassing his product is when compared to AEW. Sweet Tony Khan, Cody, and the rest over in Jacksonville are killing it, whilst Vince is literally killing the WWE with a lethal dose of poison.
