Looking at the direction of the company, I could honestly see this someday:
Vince McMahon, once legendary wrestling promotor who ruined his own company through his own foolish, stubborn, and arrogant ideas.

No matter the stupid things he did (steriods, XFL, Trump/Rosie, etc.), Vince McMahon was the quintessential wrestling businessman. He is the man who created Hulkamania and made professional wrestling mainstream. He battled from near bankruptcy to the top of the cable TV ratings in less than three years.

Vince McMahon: from regional to the world. The man that established professional wrestling as a piece of american pop culture. The escentric father of modern professional wrestling. Quite simply put: "THE MAN"

Wrestling will get a lot better. Without Vince? Wouldn't say that especially with Steph coming into power |

Vinny is brilliant however with age comes a stubborn unwillingness to change with the times for him. He doesn't understand as he did in the eighties and nineties anymore, I don't think. He may be somewhat of an a hole, but he knows what he wants and he gets his money. He doesn't, however, know what we want necessarily anymore. Cena! Cena! Cena!

I think he understands what he did in the '80s and 90's. He just doesn't understand that were sick of seeing it repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over..... |

I will remember him as being a big assh*le who always tries to put him over as a good guy such as in the Tribute to the Troops. Also that he was lucky enough to buy the WWF from his father.
He was successful but also failed in alot such as the past 4 or 5 years in wrestling and XFL etc.
I don't want the company to be passed on because of his death. Hopefully he steps down sometime and gives it to HHH or Shane. Definately not Stephanie.
I will be somewhat sad and pray for him but I won't be as sad as some of the recent wrestler deaths.
