LOTS of pure vitriol coming out of the Rumble from all parts of the globe, on in the Internet and off. We all think it's easier to hate than appreciate. But Vince is almost 70 and he's not going to be here forever. So let's say genuinely nice things about Vince McMahon. I would appreciate if we don't flood this thread with snarky posts. Let's try to leave that for 99% of other threads. Thanks.
I'll start. His product got me into pro wrestling and, for better or for worse, his product has kept me into pro wrestling. I am very thankful for Vince McMahon.

He's pretty built for an old dude.

He's starting to remind me of George Steinbrenner from Seinfeld, which I find quite amusing.

On February the 4th 1988 Vince McMahon (AND PAT PATTERSON~!) put more eyes on pro wrestling than anyone ever before or since.
HHH WILL NEVER SURPASS! (not to mention it's Steph that's holding the strings and is USELESS! and has had nothing but negative effects on what we love)
I really hate the recent vogue of "this must've been Vince", as though through his life Vince hasn't shown 100x the pro wrestling acumen of HHH.

Good or bad, Vince is probably one of the most fascinating individuals I have ever heard of.

Vince will never ask anyone to do something he wouldn't do himself. Also, there are very few people in the world I want to hang out more with than Vince.

I've never heard anything bad said about Vince from fans he's met. Like every story has Vince giving them merchandise, signing autographs, buying them dinner etc.

The man is just brilliant, he may be slightly out of touch but I think that's a work in all honesty, he knows what he's doing

if it weren't for what Vince did for 30 years, most of us wouldn't be wrestling fans.

Are there any storylines that we know that Vince came up with?

Despite a little bit of frontal hairline recession, or 'mature hairline', hes always had a great head of hair for his age.
