Vince recovering from "Major Life-Altering" Back Surgery

He's trying to get back in the ring isn't he?

Not expecting or suggesting any well-wishes for him, but i guess he won't have fingerprints on any tv scripts for a while. If we dislike as show, it may not be because of him.

[Nosnorb]

Hopefully his recovery keeps him away from the product for a while. A long while.

At his age, that has to be rough,

Given all the steroids and the crazy bumps he took in his 50’s and 60’s, I’m surprised it’s taken this long honestly.

I wonder if blowing his quads, let to some long term spinal issues, because he couldn't put weight on his legs properly during this time.

Back surgery at 77 the recovery time may as well be forever for him.

[Perd]

I heard he choked out the first nurse that approached him with a bedpan. Fool me once…

That didn't help, but it was probably more him keeping on taking bumps well into his seventies, the f***er took part in a Hell in a Cell match the following year, and he took an F5 from Beastie Boy 10 years ago.

The surprise isn't that Vince has had back surgery, the surprise is that his spine didn't need repairing sooner.

Yeah, the St. Valentine's Day 1999 bump probably ranks as his worst bump he took in his career.

I am assuming the back surgery isn't to wrestle again, but who the hell knows. If nothing else, not sure how he could possibly do something more Vince than have his final match against Austin.

Imagine if the WWF had become publicly traded back then, how catastrophic that match probably would have been for the shareholders.

He should go home and be a granddad

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I hope Mick Foley brought him the top class entertainment like last time!

Believe it or not, I think all of the grandkids are teenagers now.

Yeah, and things haven't been the same since he ruined Thanksgiving 2021


Seriously, may his recovery goes well.

Although, I do worry he's getting robot parts🤔

I had the exact opposite thought of “He’s trying to get back in the ring” when I read “life-altering”. Given his age and what he’s put his body through, I’m wondering if he’s going to be wheelchair-bound.

Mustache twirler and a wheelchair user. Several matinee villain tropes in one

GET ME A ROBOT SPIDER CHAIR, PAL

[Super Duper Dragunov]

That's crazy.

What's also crazy is I can see him obsessively writing promos and figuring out a way to yell at commentary from his hospital room.

You think doctor's are going to stop Vincent Kennedy McMahon?! The guy who beat the United States Government! C'mon now...
