Vince doesn't jump the shark. Vince catches the shark and jobs him out

I still find him pretty entertaining most of the times honestly.
Though I do agree him getting "fired" by HHH should have been the last time we really saw him.

Jump The Shark
Informal (Of a television series or movie) reach a point at which far-fetched events are included merely for the sake of novelty, indicative of a decline in quality.
The Kiss My Ass Club. Regal followed by JR in OKC. 2001 seems about right as far as timing too.

It's already been said, but I'll say it again.
I also want to point out WWE's YouTube channel went with a video package instead of the original reveal. I also want to point out how tacky the filters they used for this feel now.

Vince never has and never will jump the shark.

Regal followed by JR in OKC. 2001 seems about right as far as timing too. That's not what it means. it's used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality, signaled by a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of gimmick in an attempt to keep viewers' interest, which is taken as a sign of desperation, and is seen by viewers to be the point at which the show strayed irretrievably from its original formula.

But, but, but... I copy/pasted from The Great Google Itself. Kinda the same thing really, excepting the 'sign of desperation' and 'formula stray' bit from your definition. Not to debate the point of the thread, but I'm not buying the sign of desperation part. Happy Days was #1 in the ratings when Fonzie jumped the shark. They certainly weren't desperate.

Higher Power. Vince does all this shit just to show Austin how far he'd go to make his life a living hell? It's AWFUL, contrived writing that just restarted a feud that didn't need to be restarted. It's such a shame, too. Austin - Vince was so good at first. Early on both sides had a legitimate point for their actions. Shades of gray, like everyone claims the Attitude Era was. A year and a half later and Vince is this cartoonish villain in a druid costume and Austin is the CEO of the WWF. It was so stupid. 1999 WWF was awful and this was an example of why. Vince had no stable character traits after this. He just became this caricature who would just randomly turn face and heel for questionable reasons. Higher Power started it all, and that it's without question THE angle in which the character jumped the shark...

I'd say the moment that Austin was no longer an active member of the roster. Vince always felt like he existed as a foil to Austin and without that dynamic, it's just nothing that I care about.
I'll go a step further with having people literally kiss his ass. Most of the time, he got no comeuppance from that, and they sometimes even played it up like it was a good thing.

As entertaining as it was, ECW Champion Vince. I still think this is one of the best things Vince ever did as a heel. Honestly, I think if Paul could have convinced Vinny to show up in ECW, Paul would have booked this. Can you imagine the heat it would get from the ECW faithful? The only better candidate would have been Eric Bischoff, and he didn't do ANY heavy lifting himself, it was all Umaga and even Shane doing it for him.
