Vince McMahon and his involvement creatively continues to be a highly debated topic among WWE fans, but no one seems to have a definitive answer of whether he should continue or not. In fact, fans are pretty much split on whether he should or not and sides have compelling arguments.
Some will say that Vince McMahon was great during his heyday, but has lost touch with what makes a Superstar in the current year. Others however claim that McMahon is still very much a genius in what he is able to do and should continue to book WWE until he is no longer able to do so.
With that being said and the jury still being out on whether McMahon should be involved with creative or not, here are five reasons why he should still be in charge. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and tell us if you think McMahon should still have the final say or not.
#5 Setting WWE up for the future
Complain if you want, but Vince McMahon is setting WWE up for the future. Not only is that evident by the multi year deal the company struck to broadcast Friday Night SmackDown on Fox, but also how they have succeeded in bringing pro wrestling to The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for several visits.
Rumors are even running wild that WWE plans to do a deal with ESPN to air their pay-per-views, which will help them gain ground as a mainstream entity. Of course the draw back of that is the rumored cost for each pay-per-view if the company goes through with this model, but it will definitely pay massive dividends for them in the long run.
In the end, Vince McMahon sees the future of WWE and knows it doesn't lie with the network. He also knows that the only way to bring the company into the next age of its existence is get it on more sports networks and have them promote it in their weekly programming.
#4 Utilizing crossover talent
While part-timers are still a highly polarizing subject in WWE right now, a lot of fans don't stop to consider the benefits of using them. In fact, between bigger box office draws when the main attraction does show up and the mainstream attention it also brings, the company is simply doing what's best for business by utilizing part-timers.
With that being said, WWE has even started to tweak this formula a bit and bring in crossover stars to compete in his company. Yes, WWE has been doing this to some extent for decades now, but when Brock Lesnar returned to WWE after WrestleMania 28, the entire game changed.
In today's WWE, crossover stars like Ronda Rousey, Cain Velasquez, Brock Lesnar, and Tyson Fury are at the top of the mountain and that shows no sign of stopping. Fortunately for The WWE Universe, McMahon seems to have the presence of mind to know that these stars can be utilized to legitimatize their roster, which is why he belongs in control of the product.
#3 The resentment factor
It's no secret that some of in The WWE Universe aren't big fans of Vince McMahon and that's exactly the way he wants it. Believe it or not, the company has used this fact to their advantage on a number of occasions and it almost never seems to fail to bring fans blood to a boil. It's almost like they know what strings to pull.
Think about it! Once Vince McMahon outright says or is even rumored to have said something negatively about a Superstar, the fanbase responds with support. They start to shape that superstar in more of an underdog framing and demand that the company gives them the chance they deserve.
Whether that be Daniel Bryan, Becky Lynch, or Finn Balor, the fans have always taken the bait and rallied behind that superstar. That's why McMahon is such a powerful figure in today's WWE. His approval or even his disapproval means something and is very helpful in shaping storylines.
#2 Giving WWE fans what they need
Vince McMahon might not always give fans what they want, but he is an absolute genius when it comes to giving them what they need. While some fans usually get angry about these decisions made by McMahon, they sooner or later realize that the these moves were essentially best for business.
A perfect example of this was The Fiend's recent loss to Goldberg and while some fans are still upset with it, they are starting to slowly realize that it was the better choice. In fact, between how it saves The Fiend from having to lose at WrestleMania and sets up a dream match between Roman Reigns and Goldberg, this really turned out to be the better option.
In the end McMahon is a genius and knows how to string his audience along. He also knows how to give them the right payoff in the end to make sure they are satisfied. Now that doesn't mean he gives them exactly what they want every single time, but he makes sure to give them something that they will grow to love.
That's why McMahon is a visionary.
#1 Never satisfied
Above everything else, Vince McMahon is a person that absolutely can't be satisfied. He is someone that could be completely content with a well formulated plan one minute and then completely flip it on its head the next. Interesting enough, this is what has contributed to a lot of McMahon's success and that continues to be the case to this day.
Of course Vince McMahon doesn't always get it right and sometimes has to start from scratch again, but he always comes up with something. For example, remember the resentment that fans had after Daniel Bryan was eliminated early from The Royal Rumble and Batista went on to win the whole thing?
While fans were angry at first about McMahon slighting one of his best Superstars, he took that anger and turned it on its head. He ultimately realized that his master plan wasn't going to work the way he originally intended it to and decided to find a way to bring Bryan into the title picture.
In the end, the result was nothing short of thrilling and will probably go down as one of the best main events of all time. With that being said however, none of that would have happened, if McMahon didn't deviate from his original idea and put Bryan into the title picture at the right time.
