Do you miss Vince McMahon on TV?
 
I've noticed that Vince is usually pretty smart about taking himself off of TV when he becomes too much to take after awhile. I think Vince adds something to the show that Shane & Steph just haven't shown.

Legend Killer 12-28-2008 09:27 AM

Yeah, and Grizzly Adams had a beard. (Sarcastically)

#BROKEN Hasney 12-28-2008 09:36 AM

No

BobBitchen 12-28-2008 09:42 AM

Not really.I miss seeing Stephinie more.(her milk laden boobies to be exat.):D

Team Sheep 12-28-2008 09:45 AM

I miss Vince. I love Vince on Raw because his segments are so funny. I just crack up at the sight of him strutting to the ring. Great entertainer. Though I agree it doesn't do any harm to have him off for a while, seeing as he had a role on TV for like 2/3 years straight pretty much.

Londoner 12-28-2008 10:28 AM

Nah, don't really miss him.

Outsider 12-28-2008 10:28 AM

I'd keep him off TV for as long as possible. He's been an almost constant feature for ten years now. The character pretty much dominates the main event area but without bringing the matches that should go with a fued.

I'm not saying the character doesn't have a place, it just needs a long rest for now.

Londoner 12-28-2008 10:39 AM

^ Agreed. I think Vince realizes this.

James Steele 12-28-2008 11:16 AM

I really enjoyed the role Vince played from 2004-2006. He wasn't on screen much, but when he showed up once in awhile you knew something big was going down. I would compare it to when Shawn Michaels was Commissioner (before he joined The Corporation).

Dorkchop 12-28-2008 11:46 AM

To some extent I do. I love him on the mic and camera, but not for long stretches. He can still cut some great a-hole boss promos in the ring, but sometimes they can really drag on.

He's a great entertainer and will make himself look like a complete fool just to get someone over. I'm currently enjoying his time off camera and hope he stays off for at least a few more months.

What he said, verbatim, only misinterpreted as snarky or a personal attack.

To be fair, he's probably known it for a while now. Hence why they tried to 'blow him up' a couple years back. For him to take a while away from the screen. But with the whole Benoit thing he couldn't.

So I guess he just put it off for a year and killed himself off. Again.

Xerzes 12-29-2008 12:06 AM

No.

Xero 12-29-2008 12:07 AM

No.

Vince is the Attitude era. The Attitude era was over 8 years ago. Either retool the gimmick entirely or stay the fuck off my TV.

Honestly, if the storyline doesn't involve the company as a whole he shouldn't be making appearances.

KYR 12-29-2008 12:16 AM

Honestly, I'm in two minds.

On the one hand, I truly believe that Vince's involvement in a storyline with a wrestler can elevate him and get the best out of him - unfortunately, the wrestler concerned usually then has a brain explosion and is never heard from again. Guys like Lashley, Masters come to mind. Eventually, you'll find a winner.

But then on the other hand, when I see him on TV week after week, dominating the programming, I just want to put my foot through the screen.

Just need to find that balance.

Stop being such a snark.

That's pretty much it. Vince can be very entertaining. I used to be a complete and utter mark for him. But when it's "Vince this" and "Vince that" and no one else gets room to breathe, it becomes important to take the character off TV.

I would like to see more Shane McMahon during this time, because Shane is just hands-down the most entertaining McMahon of the bunch. But I'm going to mark out just a little bit the next time I hear "No Chance." The sadist in me does want to see some sort of conclusion to "who crushed Mr. McMahon," but the way they haven't addressed the angle at all makes me think that it was intended to just be a freak accident.

It's sort of sad that Vince McMahon is probably the only character that can effortless float through face and heel stages at the click of the finger. If only as much effort was put into writing some of the other major characters in the WWE universe.

Juan 01-01-2009 01:36 PM

No, not even a little bit.

Afterlife 01-01-2009 09:46 PM

However, I do miss Linda's music.

.44 has a thing for GILFs.

.44 Magdalene 01-01-2009 10:59 PM

You can't spell GILF without "I'd like to fuck"

Xero 01-01-2009 11:01 PM

Now throw your grandmother's face on that and I've probably ruined sex for you for at least a day.

.44 Magdalene 01-01-2009 11:02 PM

My brain won't let me do it, Xero

.44 Magdalene 01-01-2009 11:03 PM

Besides, it's really Linda's dry, crispity crackety monotone fucking voice that rubs my Buddha

Afterlife 01-02-2009 06:29 AM

I was afraid it was going to be her dry, crispity crackety vagina.

BigDaddyCool 01-02-2009 09:16 AM

No, I don't miss Vince. He can stay off tv. He is just too much.

Stickman 01-02-2009 01:18 PM

Not at all

The Optimist 01-02-2009 07:46 PM

Snarky would be a great name for a cartoon shark. Or half snake half shark.

What an awful creation.

SammyG 01-02-2009 07:48 PM

I do miss him.
