I mean, considering all the shit he's come up with and done for attention over the years.

No question he's at least slightly insane. Then again, every successful person has a little crazy in them.

I'm now imagining Vince at a booking meeting pitching the incest angle between him and Stephanie, huge grin on his face, drinking from one of those mugs that says "you don't have to be crazy to work here... but it helps!"

Vince is over the top insane, and we love him for it.

Definitely at least slightly. Even if most of the rumors about him are false, where there's smoke there's fire.

No. There is not a single mental illness that I could honestly attribute to Vince McMahon that would be severe enough to qualify as insanity. Maybe megalomania, but that's really, really pushing it.

I think of him more as a bit senile than actually insane, which I guess falls under the "slightly" umbrella.

At the worst, he's a somewhat underhanded businessman with a crass sense of humor. But no, Vince McMahon the real guy is light years away from being as far gone as Mr. McMahon, let alone Cranky Vince.

I absolutely love the rumored story of Vince and Hogan re-writing the script in an all-nighter. I just imagine the two of them locked in an office drinking massive amounts of coffee, snorting mountains of coke, laughing uncontrollably when they come up with the 'dookie' line, and writing the lyrics to the No Holds Barred theme even though that has nothing to do with writing the actual script. |

I think he's egotistical, a little megalomaniac, and, well, older. I don't think he's genuinely insane.

I think he walks that fine line between genius and insanity often. Though, sometimes he falls on one side or the other.

I guess I was using crazy in the colloquial, ableist sense of the term for, I guess, wild and unusual. I don't think that Vince has a mental disorder, but that he's eccentric and always has been. His sense of what normal is is very skewed. His approach to things and his aesthetic sensibilities, as evidenced by what he creates when he feels there's little at stake or has no proper filters, have always lied outside the scope of conventional wisdom. |

He has some mild personality disorders (like almost all of us do), but insanity is a pretty strong term. Have you ever spent time with someone who is legitimately mentally ill and mentally unstable? They can't run companies.

Eccentric would be a better word to describe him. If he was insane the WWE wouldn't exist today.

No not at all. I'm sure he has a good head on his shoulders and if he was insane then he wouldn't be running WWE for as long as he has
