Vince McMahon has been WWE Chairman since 1982 when he bought WWE from his father Vince Sr and his partners. McMahon saw quite a few changes in his company over the last few decades on top of that. All through that, the WWE Chairman continued to adapt to the changing times. However, many fans now feel that he is out of touch and simply has no idea what is good for a WWE Superstar and their growth. The WWE Chairman is larger than life in many ways and he also has his own oddities and problems as well. He also threatened a WWE star in a recent gym video.
On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that Dakota Kai was never going to the main roster as Vince McMahon never saw her as a main roster star.
“In the case of Dakota Kai, I’ve been expecting that. When I heard about April 15 cuts, she was definitely on, in my mind, the list because, it’s like, there’s nothing really more that they were going to do with her for NXT. She’s been there too long, she’s mid-30’s and they gave her the tryouts on the main roster, Vince said no.
It’s like OK, once Vince says no, what are you there for? Know what I mean? I expected her and I’m not shocked. I would think that she would not be surprised either, because she was there to be called up on the main roster months ago. She was doing the tryouts and then everybody else got up and for whatever reason… You can all speculate on what Vince sees and doesn’t see in people, but whatever it was, you know, he didn’t see it in her. It’s not her working, obviously, but he has ideas of what a star is and, whatever. It’s his judgment. You know what his judgment is. People know that going in.”
