THIS Is The One Man Who Can Save WWE
Who should REALLY take over WWE creative.
Vince McMahon is no longer fit for the purpose of running WWE's creative arm.
This is so patently obvious that it shouldn't require an explanation, but that wouldn't make for an article, so consider the following. At Super Showdown, Vince clipped the wings of a performer who was generating real buzz and optimism when operating on a creative tear. The in-ring reeked, and perhaps it was always going to reek, but the supernatural horror of the Fiend was pushed heavily as WWE's top heel before falling to a sh*tty suplex delivered by a 53 year-old gassed-up part-timer. On principle, this was pathetically short-term in its thinking, and made zero sense in storylines. Nobody could put the Fiend away for longer than a few moments. Goldberg smashed through him in three poorly-executed minutes. This betrayed every last brick of world-building in a brazen quest for WrestleMania numbers that would not have been necessary, had Vince not patched his broken machine with over and over and over again with this exact same BS.
Vince McMahon barely rated Goldberg at the time of his first run in 2003. He was an ex-WCW guy he hired for his star power and drawing ability, but was told how to work in his harebrained, stubborn, arrogant way. Booking him to go over in an in-house creation - a third-generation superstar - is almost comparable to Vince booking a sneeze to go over Roman Reigns.
Even the contrarian Goldberg apologists (hi) could not defend his performance. This marked a radical and perversely hilarious paradigm shift for McMahon, who is laughably out of ideas and incapable of creating new stars, or indeed preserving those who got over literally everywhere else they have worked. He is no longer fit for the purpose of running WWE's creative arm.
