The Executive Director of Raw and SmackDown Bruce Prichard and Conrad Thompson on the latest Something to Wrestle with podcast spoke about WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. Prichard believes that Vince will continue sticking to his role for years to come and he is not willing to step down anytime soon.
Vince McMahon is unlikely to slow down, says Bruce Prichard
Vince is quite a workaholic and at the age of 76, he is going strong. Bruce Prichard was asked if he could have guessed that Vince would still be running WWE at the rate that he is 17 years later and Prichard said he always felt like Vince would still be going at the same rate. Prichard went on to add that the WWE Chairman shows no signs of slowing down. He believes that people will not have to imagine a WWE without him for a long time moving forward:
Yes [I always felt like Vince McMahon would continue running WWE past the early 2000s]. Absolutely. Yeah, I can’t imagine him not doing it and I am sure that he will continue to do it probably for the next 25-to-30 years. His mom’s 101 and still going so, you know, he shows no signs of slowing down at all and he’s a freak of nature and it’s hard to imagine it without him and I don’t think that we’ll have to imagine it without him for a long, long time.
Vince McMahon seemingly had a fight with Mustafa Ali recently as reported and the star also requested his release. Fans have given mixed reaction to the way Vince handles the business in WWE. Recently he also took over NXT brand and revamped it to NXT 2.0. Fans have been quite accepting about the transformation.
Vince McMahon has been WWE Chairman since 1982 when they he, along with his wife Linda had purchased WWE from his father Vince Sr and his partners, Gorilla Monsoon, Arnold Skaaland & Phil Zacko.
