So what’s your final verdict on Vince? Do you think he’s genuinely insane? Or just a lovable kook? With the Network, Saudi Arabia, TV deals etc they’re making more money than ever and still really the only game in town so is he a killer businessman? Or are the fans switching off in droves because Vince doesn’t know the modern wrestling biz?
Have at it.

I voted #2 even though I don't think #2 and #3 are mutually exclusive. He's am amazing businessman when it comes to building a brand but he's desperately out of touch when it comes to producing good television.

He's probably always been a bit crazy. A lot of businessmen who are as ruthless as Vince have a touch of the sociopath to them, and Vince has talked seriously about wishing he could have killed his stepfather.
It's hard to know how many of the stories about him are completely true, and even then, it's possible he may be taking the piss in some of the weirder ones. Vince certainly has always had a very odd sense of humour.
But thirty years of sleep deprivation, constant travel, overwork, micromanagement and drugs have probably done a number on his brain. He seems to have some sort of obsessive personality disorder, which might explain his constantly changing shows at the last minute, his attending every house show and TV taping, overseeing every decision that's made.

He's genuinely nuts but that doesn't exclude some of the other answers. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

It’s important to note that while the character Vince is an asshole, the real life Vince is also an asshole.

Vince has never really attended house shows on a regular basis except for the ones at MSG. He is also skipping TV tapings and running meetings through video conferences a lot more these days than in the past. |

By and large I see him as someone who's largely clumsily stumbled into his successes by way of being smarter than his few viable competitors, who for all his eccentricities seems to be deeply self-loathing. I feel like at this point in time if there were any company that had the money and visibility to compete with Vince they'd have zero problem beating him.

A good business man wouldn't waste hundreds of millions on creating a hopeless football league TWICE.

The only explanation for his success being in spite of himself is genuine insanity

Vince McMahon is every bad stereotype of a businessman from the 1980s.

There is a reason he's been a miserable failure in every endeavour outside the sports entertainment business.

ridiculously neurotic, but I think he knows what he's doing. I feel many fans resent him for not catering to their style preference without considering the variables.
