Quoted By:
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer claimed that Vince became irrelevant for quite some time with some higher-ups moving past him real quick and looking towards the future, with the company transitioning smoothly after his exit.
>“Vince McMahon became irrevelant really fast in the real world. If you really notice. Like, when Vince was gone, the first couple of days or week, it’s a big story, but after that, it’s like — he was a giant in wrestling, but in pop culture he was a one-day story. So, I know it from dealing with some high-power people that they lost interest in Vince real quick, you know once it was like ‘okay he’s gone, now onto the next’ — life goes on, yes. Like, if he would have left and WWE collapsed, then yes, but WWE just — very smooth transition, actually got better.”
