5 reasons why Ronda Rousey will succeed in WWE

#5 Vince craves the mainstream

Vince McMahon craves mainstream attention

It’s a strange conundrum that has baffled WWE fans for years – owner Vince McMahon is the most successful pro-wrestling promoter of all time by a large margin, and yet the one thing he seems to crave is for WWE to be recognized as something more than pro-wrestling. After all, he coined the term sports entertainment and the list of the number of times he’s grasped for mainstream acceptance is probably too long to count at this point.

Which is why Ronda Rousey is probably guaranteed to succeed in WWE. At the end of the day, success in WWE comes only if Vince McMahon allows it – we’ve seen him cut the legs from underneath some of his talent while pushing and pushing until certain others breakthrough as big stars with the fans. Rousey, however, is already a big star – with the exception of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, she’s probably the biggest mainstream star currently linked with the promotion – even bigger than Brock Lesnar.

If you think Dana White pushed Ronda down the throats of the fans, just wait until Vince McMahon has a chance at making her the biggest attraction in WWE – it’ll be something else entirely. McMahon has likely craved the day he could get his hands on a legitimate superstar – one who comes from outside the pro-wrestling bubble – for absolutely years, and now he’s got her, massive success will simply be seen as the only possible option.
