So last night's promo with the new day Vince was super animated in his crazy old man character. He's been enjoying regressing into the worst parts of the mr McMahon character but with added crazy old man/ ric flair elbow dropping his jacket elements. How much is this the real McMahon nowadays? It seems his character is basically "being a dick for no good reason" with added dementia? How long do we have to deal with him on screen or do you like it?

Hey, let’s face it, if he wants his character to go full-on Crazy Old Man, there’s nobody more qualified.
Having said that I’m not enjoying seeing him on TV any more.
It sounds cruel, but at his age he’s already taking on a huge workload producing live TV, let alone appearing on it.
He did a whole promo last night with his back to the hard cam for f***s sake, how many of his talent would get away with that?

I thought his promo last night was terrible.
Like shockingly bad. For all of Vince's many many flaws he's always been a great TV character and screen presence. Not last night though.
Last night he had his back to the hard cam for like 80% of the promo and it was really difficult to even understand what he was saying. He was mumbling and growling and you could just make out the odd word here and there.
I think he's just too old now for this sort of stuff. Years of his throat burning PPV intros, WELCOME TO SUMMMMMMMERSLAAAAAAAAAAAM, seems to have finally caught up with him. His voice is wrecked.

Last night, his mannerisms were like a Disneyworld animatronic character gone haywire. His head bobbing all around acting spastic and unpredictable. It makes me wonder if they will just build and animatronic figure for after he dies so he can be around forever.

he can do that because "I'M VINCE MCMAHON GODDAMMIT!" The thing is, based on his historic booking, Vince could do almost anything and it wouldn't surprise me or seem out of character. |

Vince was definitely doped up or dying or something.
I blame the ether.

It still cracks me up on how he pronounces his own company’s name.

Grumpy Old McMen, starring Vince and Shane (because honestly he more or less counts too now).  |

I think cos he can do whatever the f*** he wants he just goes out there and rambles whatever the f*** he wants and hopes he gets the point across in the end.

It's gone from cutting edge entertainment to gramps embarrassing himself again on national TV.
I'm ready for straight-laced announcer-era Vince to make a comeback and just act like he has some dignity.

The perception among the fans is that Vince is crazy and out of touch and HHH & Steph are the saviors, so they're leaning in to that. However, even as a TV character now Vince is the shits. I want the McMahons off TV.
