Vince McMahon William Regal Kiss My Ass

For those old enough to remember the vim and vigour Vince McMahon was able to once insert into his performances over the years, it has been sad to see him stumble and mumble his way through increasingly rare live promos.

Never lacking in the charisma and bizarre aura that made him such a vital on-screen presence at various points in company history, he still has the capacity to out-talk half his roster by force of personality alone, but even McMahon is no match for Father Time despite his best no-sells over the years.

Recent returns have played host to a croakier, tired-looking Vince, trying and failing to stave off the ageing process with natty ties and incredible biceps either side of one ugly suit or another, as son Shane and daughter Stephanie slot effortlessly into the mid-life crisis megalomaniac authority figure he portrayed better than either ever could or will.

At this point, authority is really all Vince has left. Hulk Hogan once commented that McMahon told him that he could be ancient and decrepit and still get a reaction from his adoring WWE Hulkamaniacs. It remains to be seen if Vince can continue to generate a similar response from an audience that has grown with him.
