That Time Vince McMahon ACTUALLY Stopped Booking WWE
He wanted it to be a Cowboy, baby.
Vince McMahon is going to continue to book WWE until there is no Vince McMahon, and that's as safe a take as there is.
He's still booking it now, at 74, and it's more difficult to assess than the first impulse suggests. The events of the last two editions of RAW have felt removed from Paul Heyman's altogether more solid approach, in that the continuity errors and inexplicable results are glaring, even by modern WWE standards. The Viking Raiders were made to look like a comedy act at the precise moment Bianca Belair told the Street Profits to take them more seriously. Liv Morgan was built up carefully purely to take a barely promoted loss on RAW to NXT Champion Charlotte Flair. A dwelling for horses tragically set ablaze would still make for a better stable than Zelina Vega and her useless associates; it was as if the second they formed, Vince got bored of them. Three weeks had become three seconds.
They have the numbers advantage. There is a champion in their ranks. And yet, they are hopeless. To put it as sensitively as possible: the last two episodes of RAW appear to have been written by a person not operating at optimum mental capacity.
The XFL has folded, leaving Vince with more free time than was becoming a pattern late last year. These things cannot be unrelated.
Vince McMahon is going to continue to book WWE. Nobody will look the fool for committing it to record. Vince McMahon voluntarily stepping down is the never in wrestling's never say never rule. Except, it isn't.
