My questions were did he have botched plastic surgery that is not aging well? Is how he acts on TV now the real vince mcmahon or is he still playing a character? My wife saw him on TV last night and gasped loudly. He just looks terrible and it's not just the age. Combination of that and everything else already mentioned by others in the thread probably. Shit’s rough. The way he aged reminds me of my grandmother. But as many have mentioned considering everything..he’s doing alright lol. I did think last night that he looks much better in profile than the portrait angle but they might have used that to avoid mumbling/slips/him reading cue cards, I dunno... 🤷

Investors would be terrified if he wasn’t in the executive suite. From all accounts, their view of his importance is wildly different than fans. Yeah, investors just want the status quo, anything which might rock the boat is terrifying to them.

The thread title just reminds me of OSW’s “zombie Linda McMahon” bit from their Wrestlemania X7 review.

It's not just his age. My 85-year-old father who has had AAA surgery, has COPD decades after having had TB, has one kidney, has Type 2 diabetes and is held together by duct tape and rage, has far more energy than Vince is demonstrating these days. If I were an investor, I'd be wondering why he's still in the executive suite at this point. Investors would be terrified if he wasn’t in the executive suite. From all accounts, their view of his importance is wildly different than fans. Yeah, I mean honestly, they probably think everything's just fine based on the money the company's bringing in right now.

They turn a profit every quarter. So what if the steps taken to ensure this are hurting the long term health of the company. Thats for someone in the future to worry about.

I don't even think the long-term outlook for the company looks all that bad, even if the Saudi deal went away. They're making bank now, the McMahon's are probably going to cash out to NBCU in a couple of years and that'll be it. In any event, to bring us back on topic. Yes, Vince McMahon looks old. He's in his 70s and probably had a face lift a few years ago.

He’s had to have had a lot of work done because he looks totally different from when he was younger, and I’m not sure it’s age that did it!
Kinda sad seeing how rough he is on TV nowadays compared to other eras because he was easily one of the best characters in wrestling history in his prime. Total shell of his former self.

He looks like he drank from the false grail.

I'm more concerned that he suddenly needed camera cuts so he could read his lines last night. That's a red flag and a sign he really shouldn't be on TV.

I think he's one of those people who looks fine through middle age but then suddenly hits a wall. It happens. My dad seemed to skip his 60s - just went from 50s to 70s. And once that shift happens, hair dye and makeup would only make it worse. Vince often seems like he's wearing lipstick to me.
Re: having work done, I think something did happen around his eyes sometime in the last 10 years. His brows are different. They look almost drawn-on to look more menacing.

I think it comes to something when Vince seems so 'doddery old man' you have to question if it's real or a new evolution of his character.
It almost, almost feels like we're getting to a point where Vince might write himself off TV via being called out by Shane/Steph/Hunter for his current B/S and 'retire' from TV roles for good once their champion, or Shane himself, beat Theory.
Maybe that's the end game for this whole Theory attachment....
Or maybe I'm looking for a deeper story than there is.

They've been doing the 'Weekend at Bernie's' thing with him since 2018. Actually been doing it since he died in a limo explosion. That gives an explanation why guys like wyatt, strowman, kross, Lee were fired. They asked where Vince was and were fired on the spot. "Ummm Vince said yeerrrrrrr fiiiiirrred" They will do a weekend at bernies version of Get Back with "Vince" at the hall of fame this year.

He was shown reading lines last night? So he would be shown talking to Theory and then they would cut to a close up shot at Vince who would look in a different direction away from Theory where he seemed to be reading his lines. It was shot in a completely different way than any other backstage segment I've seen in years.

His voice sounds so bad now too. Sounds like he gargled cement for two weeks straight.

oh come on, zombies aren't that evil!
Vince looks fine for someone who was hit with force lightning after minimal sleep, running a business 18 hours a day.. 7 days a week for 30+ years and being in their 70's.
probably the force lightning to the face though.

I get he’s old, but he mumbles and sounds like he can barely remember his lines.
