I think sooner than later. The Fox partnership is going to be rocky for Vince. He’s used to having total control of the presentation of their product and Fox isn’t going to back down to him. If the show is successful on Fox, I guarantee that they will want to air Mania or Summerslam and treat it like the Super Bowl or Daytona 500. The company is publicly traded & he could be ousted if he gets in the way of things like that. USA leaves him alone because he’s giving them 5 hours of live TV every week that they can’t get elsewhere. Fox is a different animal.

Honestly any time I see the whole, "I'm sure Vince has plans for years after his death!" thing I just have to wonder if anyone remembers this is the guy who often can't commit to a script for a show while it's in the middle of airing.

It's grim math, but when you look at a nearly 74 year old man, who by all accounts leads a very stress-filled, highly control freak lifestyle, and has for some 30+ years, on top of years of steroid use, and the physical toll it must have taken on his body to START taking crazy bananas bumps well past the point where most guys are done with the "safest" bumps....it's kind of astonishing he hasn't keeled over yet, so I'm not really sure if Vince CAN die, so we might be stuck with the old nut forever.

Vince will hold on until he dies. And he's such a workaholic, that being forced out or retiring might just spell his end.
But Vince seems like he's too stubborn to die.
Maybe, even now, he's working on a plan to transfer his soul into HHH so he can live in a muscular body for years to come.

Didn't they do a conference call or some such where they said they have nobody in place for when Vince passes on?

He’s not getting ousted.

From an SI article last year:
Mr. McMahon beneficially owns 28,682,948 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, which represents approximately 80.1% of the Company’s total voting power and approximately 36.8% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of common stock.
So I’m sorry but there’s no fantasy with Vince being magically outed because of AEW or people leaving. Or bad booking. It’d probably take something like the SEC finding out that Vince is doing some shady shit. Even if Disney or AMC or hell even Comcast bought the company, Vince probably stays onboard running things and transitions to having a lifetime job as a consultant if he ever retires.

When he dies. It's the reason why I've never wished for Vince to go away.

He'll lose control when he dies. An event which, despite no doubt weekly/daily moaning about him, I don't think the vast majority of WWE fans are in any way prepared for.

Within five years. He’s 73 and he’s really starting to look it. He’s taking on more big projects and that’s going to stress him further. Stress will age you fast. He shouldn’t have even thought about messing with the XFL again. That’s not going to be good for him either.

All this talk of Vince’s death is weird. I might have some creative disgreements with the guy, but I’ll be really sad when he’s gone. Hopefully he hangs on for a while. They say the key to longevity is always moving. Vince legitimately might have 10 more years of running the company and another 10+ as a symbolic figurehead.

Until he dies, which I think will be in the next decade.

If the show is successful on Fox, I guarantee that they will want to air Mania or Summerslam and treat it like the Super Bowl or Daytona 500. And I would guarantee that WWE made sure that possibility was completely off the table when they signed the contract. They'll probably do those "highlight" shows a few weeks after the event but there's no way WWE would allow anything that would jeopardize the Network like taking their biggest draws into the contract.

Until he dies. As much as Steph and Hunter may tear their hair out at some of the things he does, I don't think either have the ruthlessness to force him out, like Vince did to his own dad.
Even if he suffered some sort of illness that prevented him from travelling, I think he'd still demand final control of everything, via email/skype/carrier pigeon.

vince wont let a trivial thing like death stop him running wwe, he's probably the only one on earth to have a working oujia board ready to go if the cloning process fails on consciousness transference.

Until he’s worm food. He’ll die on some random house show yelling at Cole.

I say within a decade, just because of his age. Vince won't relinquish control of WWE willingly, ever. it will take either death or a catastrophic injury/illness for him to let go.
