Vince McMahon, who is 76 years old, is still going strong. According to one of his closest allies, WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon is working as hard as ever. Over the last 40 years, wrestlers, promotions, and eras have come and gone. Vince McMahon has been a constant in this business.
Some people wonder if McMahon still has it when business is slow or fans are dissatisfied with WWE’s artistic direction. McMahon, according to Bruce Prichard, still has the energy and vision to lead WWE into the future. Prichard delivered a positive appraisal of pro wrestling’s Walt Disney when asked about Vince McMahon’s long-term destiny as CEO of WWE.
Yeah, I can’t imagine him not doing it and I am sure that he will continue to do it probably for the next 25-to-30 years. His mom’s 101 and still going so, you know, he shows no signs of slowing down at all.
Since the 1980s, WWE Senior Vice President Bruce Prichard has worked with McMahon on and off. He’s seen McMahon in action during Hulkamania’s glory days, the dark days of the steroid trial in the mid-90s, and WWE’s peak Attitude Era, and he’s still one of the most powerful people in the company.
Prichard stated on a recent episode of his Something to Wrestle podcast that he believes Vince McMahon will continue to dominate WWE for decades. The most recent instalment focused on the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event from 2005. Vince McMahon charged to ringside and tore both of his quads as he entered the ring in that show’s controversial finale.
