On a recent episode of The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, former WWE SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long discussed Vince McMahon and his short lived retirement that came to an end earlier this month.
Long offered an interesting analysis, illustrating how Vince McMahon needed some rest after running WWE non-stop for almost five decades. He added that Vince McMahon now has “something to prove.”
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how Vince McMahon needed some rest: “Well, in my opinion, I think this was good for him. I think he needed some rest. He was a workhorse. 24/7, all that he did was wrestling. So I think him getting away and getting some rest cause he hates sleep. He once told me that sleep was his enemy. So maybe him taking a break and getting away, maybe got a chance to rest, get some sleep, and get his thoughts backs together because, I mean, we all need that rest. That rest is really important. Now he got his thoughts together and he’s ready to kick it back in gear.”
On Vince McMahon having something to prove: “I’m glad to see him back in power. My decision was never for him to step away, anyway… But now Vince has something to prove, and he’s going to let everybody he’s more powerful than ever.”
