Something on the aniversary show, which was very, very good, BTW, caught my attention.
Why is it that every other wrestler in the company can, in extreme situations, break character except Vince?
I thought of this when Austin invited all the wrestlers out, and even heels showed up. I thought it would have been good for them to help Vince to his feet, and show him some respect, which, yes, regardless of what anyone says, he deserves. 15 years is impressive, and he is largely responsible.
I know these decisions are Vince's, but why? It seems as if he's a little TOO into his character. I can see that when he addresses the troops, he really feels for them. He has the guts to perform where the NFL, NBA and other big sports dare not tread. He's allowed himself to be beaten senseless for the sake of a storyline, and has given guys 2nd chances who really didn't deserve them.
I find it interesting that the man who basically buried KAYFAB will not come out of character for any reason. I would say that in this day and age, even marks know that Vince McMahon is real and Mr. McMahon is a character. You no longer need fear the fans if you come out of character.
So, why is it that Vince never shows his true self to the fans? Is it a personal fear, or is it from a business perspective.
I also find it VERY interesting that the fans, who, again, I think are FAR more educated than fans from the past when it comes to angles, boo Vince constantly, even when he doesn't deserve it. You will always hear a heel being cheered from time to time, depending on circumstance, yet Vince is universally hated.
I think he has made some bad choices in angles and who he pushes, but I don't TRULY hate the man. I think he has done a great deal with very little, and he is self-made, which I respect.
He thought of things his father could only dream of, and turned A territory into THE territory.
It's a shame he doesn't allow himself to receive praise, because we, as fans, are only explosed to Mr. McMahon. It's interesting to ponder what this man is like in his personal life, what his family and friend's true feelings are towards him, and how does he truly regard us fans, as money machines, or as people who have helped him to succeed.
Maybe a biography will be written one day. We have bits and pieces from other wrester's books, but don't truly know Vince at all. I hope he's nothing like his character, and I don't believe he is.
Let's give Vinny Mac some love.
