At the age of 71, Vince McMahon is a man who still likes to stay healthy. As a bodybuilder for most of his life, McMahon has always pushed the guys who have been absolutely jacked- be it Hulk Hogan, or The Ultimate Warrior, or more recently, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
Jinder Mahal's vein protruding physique is something that should appeal to McMahon's sensibilities, and it is no wonder that he has found favour with the top boss. In this era of indie wrestlers with underwhelming physiques (viewed through the lens of Vince McMahon), Mahal is exactly the kind of superstar that Vince McMahon likes.
