Using the occasion of his seventieth birthday to announce his retirement, it could be moment Vince has been looking for to begin the process of leaving WWE. Working in his sixties was a productive decade for the company, but even he must know that age will start to impact his physical and mental capability in his seventies. Continuing to graft away is admirable, but sometimes a change is needed. It is doubtful that any retirement would be imminent, but it wouldn't be that surprising if he announced that he'd be stepping down after WrestleMania 32. There are of course stock market implications, so a formal announcement may not happen on Raw. Instead it would be a character goodbye, 'Mr McMahon' out there to mark his seventieth and retire from the screens. The real Vince McMahon would then announce his retirement plans in a formal capacity to the stock holders. The fact is, as he turns seventy years old, a WWE without Vince McMahon is getting closer.
