According to F4WOnline.com, the talk this week has been that the ‘Mr. McMahon’ character is officially done following WrestleMania 26.
Since the character truly began taking shape after the infamous 1997 Montreal Screwjob, the feeling was that a beatdown at the hands of Bret “Hit Man” Hart was a fitting culmination for the heel boss persona. Vince McMahon might still appear on television occasionally, but sources say he no longer sees clear value in working the heel gimmick as an active storyline component.
McMahon is notorious for believing television should be filled with younger acts, and his anti-old age mindset undoubtedly played a part in wanting to bring the character’s run to an end. Vince has always recognized opportunities to bring the character into the mix, but all indications are that in his mid-sixties, he similarly recognizes that it does not gel with his ideal image of WWE television.
