“Not recognizing who certain people are” Excellent question Sheldon

[@bluntamainia444]

I think when he defeated WCW and took the company public things changed a bit because of growth. The Benoit incident is where he completely lost trust in everyone because of the way his decision making started to change, started to really play it safe and creatively boring deliberately. The Benoit incident made Vince look completely bad, he survived it but it completely changed him

[@Rschr101]

The show was on a steady decline since 2002 when Rock and Austin left. Giving the title to HHH and letting him beat everybody and cut 20 min promos every night killed the show. Benoit killing his family was and is a tragedy, but the business was already a joke by that point. All the older fans had moved on to UFC by then and Vince will never get those people back.

[@jasonfrost6448]

I think it had more to do with the fact that Vince took over the corporate end in the late 2000's. Before that he didn't care because it was Linda's job to deal with the corporate suits.

[@welcomecitizen]

@Rschr101 Underrated comment. The UFC is really underestimated in the terms of how much it really hit the WWF. The Golden Era was a product of the times and something I will always think fondly of; however, the Attitude Era really captured those teens and young adults and made the product edgy, but once the UFC took over and WWE became silly and goofy and people were giving birth to hands and shit in the early 2000s, it was really hard to get those old WWF fans back. They went to the UFC which was becoming the cool product.

[@cabercabe677]

I am an avid ufc fan, but I stopped watching Wwe when Rock left. I tuned in for personalities that just aren't there anymore. I watch ufc for completely different reasons.

Every time there is a commotion in the locker room or writers room Vince walks in and screams "Hey Hey Hey, what is going on here?"

[@ArchangelSteve]

I think an important factor in the difference between Jim's experience with Vince and later stories is the change in the industry during that period. Jim left at a time when the Monday Night Wars were still ongoing, but shortly after that Vince won, and for the two decades since he has basically been untouchable - he was essentially the entire industry for all that time, and also became a billionaire. That amount of money and power can corrupt, and there's an escalation in Vince's behaviour that tracks with his increase in power and decrease in accountability, nobody's holding him to account because there's no way of holding him to account, he's the CEO of an entire industry and has the numbers of kings and presidents in his phone, it's no wonder he thought he was untouchable, he fucking was! Gradually a board of directors is established and the company goes public, but it's too little too late in terms of reigning in Vince's exploitation of that power, as long as the NDAs keep being signed and paid he will keep thinking he can do whatever he wants and nobody will touch him, and if he'd kept paying Janel Grant he'd probably still be CEO. Decades of unfettered freedom and power warped Vince's mind past the point where Jim would recognise him, and that warped perspective led him to believe that he could fuck over this woman and refuse to pay her, and to hell with the NDA, he still thought he was untouchable because he's Vince McMahon and has been untouchable for decades, and he didn't (or couldn't) recognise that he wasn't untouchable any more. Ultimately, Vince screwed Vince.

[@dustyhaynes5688]

So they can "force him out" but he still owns it and can book the show. What exactly are they taking from him?

[@mikem10481]

Another reason is the success of the Mr McMahon character. Definitely one of the best characters ever created but sometimes maybe Vince constantly confuses fantasy with reality. Hence him living in his own bubble and calling it the WWE Universe. On the bright side, we're finally going to see the back of John Laurinitis for good.

Awesome Shoot Today Jim!!😎🐐🐐

[@dcb_75]

I think he has changed and a lot of it has to do with both going public and him maybe taking a few too many shots to the head. Up until he went public, he was working towards a goal and that helps keep you focused more, you don't do anything that will mess that up. Once wwe went public and bought WCW and ECW, the challenge was over - he more or less owned wrestling and now was exceedingly rich because of it. Plus everyone was talking about what a genius he was, what a great business man he was, etc - don't tell me that didn't blow up his ego. But he also got into the ring more and did more extreme stuff and if he doesn't tell people he is hurt, how much damage could be done? I mean they kept Danielson out of the ring for years over concussions, Vince isn't known for taking time off. So I think you have a guy whose now so wealthy, whose ego is pumped up so high and maybe not thinking quite at 100% anymore thinking "I'm Vince McMahon, I can do anything" and he does.

@@kevindouglas5333 Accused, not convicted. Not saying it didn't happen but people say a lot of things that turn out not to be true - Vince and Shawn were also gay lovers remember. Give what the WWF was doing in the 80s, could have been something said by another promoter to screw over Vince, we just don't know. But we do know of stuff over the past 20 years and it shows someone who thinks his wealth can get him out of anything. Remember Vince is the one who told the pilot he'll buy the plane when the pilot told him to settle down and quit banging against the plane door - if you lose pressure at 30000 feet, doesn't matter how much money you have. That's not normal thinking.

I think the reason why everyone has had an in between relationship with Vince (love-hate) in my estimation is probably because they love his ideas at times, but hate how they get treated. Take Jim Ross for great example, why he got treated the way he got treated by Vince, I have no idea, but JR didn't deserve that at all, but at least in AEW he's getting the respect he rightfully deserves instead of being treated like $h!t

Any possibility that the few matches Vince had had a detrimental effect on his mind?

[@SpectrumGamer29]

Took a nasty bump and hit his head badly in the cage match with Austin. Nothing to suggest that couldn't cause some form of brain damage even if it was only one incident, and we've seen what head injuries can do to a person's personality and behaviour.

Jim gets it. After a long day I just want to eat alone in a climate controlled room, too.

There’s definitely a huge difference in 70s, 80s & 90s Vince, then post 2000. By the 2000s you can just see his ego grow. Go back & watch Vince in the late 60s & early 70s, when he was just the ring announcer, or guy conducting interviews, and he appeared shy & timid…

[@MrJjburgess11]

Thats just part of maturity. I was alot more shy in my 20s than I am now in my 40s .

Talking about very detailed stories. Liars tell very detailed stories.

Vince never outta hind mind, thought you said he took Road Warriors finish in a bar/topless outfit?! Or let Brett/Anvil put their finisher on him. Pretty sure you've mentioned a couple examples in past where VM was clearly beyond what's considered to be "moderation." Hell, we're all human and unfortunate things are certainly possible. How many NDA's does VM have out there?!

[@stevenbristol7832]

i dont know of jim being there on that LOD finisher party night. He explicitly said he knows Vince has used, but JC claims never to have seen it. Q-TIPS, PAL! 😉

Vince has an evil twin!
