Criticism from internet fans is nothing new to Vince McMahon. McMahon has been criticized by everyone from your average fan to wrestling legends to heads of state and it seems to always just roll off his back like droplets of water. Events & reports over the past few days, coupled with what we've already known about Vince, suggests that things might be changing in WWE when it comes to ultimately how he runs things or what goes on.
As reported earlier, there's been a creative shake up in WWE as Brian Gerwitz has been fired as head writer for WWE. Gerwitz is known to be a favorite of Vince so this indicates that Vince is supremely frustrated with the creative aspect of the company at this point. Also, it's been reported that Vince was confronted by a top star in the company and this top star really got into Vince's face by voicing his criticisms over how things are going. What really made this all the more significant was that it's said to have taken place in front of a good number of other people and that other top stars have been coming to Vince with the same complaints for several weeks. Allegedly, one of the things Vince was told was that he's no longer "in touch" with things and doesn't have his fingers on the pulse of WWE. He was also told that he needs to start listening to other people rather than simply just doing whatever he wants just for the sake of wanting to do it before the company goes over a cliff.
For the past couple of years, Triple H has been a company executive and has very much been gaining lots of power and trust among WWE officials. Triple H was put in charge of overhauling WWE's developmental program and everyone from fans to officials to wrestlers themselves have been very impressed with the changes Triple H has made and the young talent that he's signed. He's also taken over Big Johnny's post as Vice President of Talent Relations, so he's ultimately in charge of who gets hired and who gets fired. Triple H has instituted changes that we've seen in WWE such as longer title runs, more general emphasis placed on the titles in the first place and an actual relevant tag team division for the first time in years.
Vince McMahon is 65 years of age and, if the reports are true, he's just simply not the same guy he once was. His health is said to have been an issue for several months, such as allegedly having a very bad flu for a couple of months, and the stress is only making things harder. While he obviously looks great physically, as was pointed out by Jim Ross on Raw this past Monday as part of the set up with McMahon's fight against Punk, Vince isn't the same as he was 15 years ago. Nobody can be, quite frankly, at his age no matter how much he works out.
I don't know what the whole story is. As usual, we've mostly just gotten a bit of the story here & there before something happens that kinda sorta maybe ties things together. Considering Vince's alleged declining health, being vocally told off about how out of touch he is and the fact that he's getting older; should Vince McMahon step down as WWE Chairman and hand things over to his son-in-law Triple H?
