The 77-Year-Old Wrestling Mogul Recovers from a Successful Spinal Procedure
Vince McMahon, the 77-year-old chairman of WWE, is currently on the road to recovery following a major spinal surgery. The news was first reported by TMZ, which revealed that the surgery took place last week to address an undisclosed issue with McMahon’s spine. The operation, which is believed to have spanned over four hours, was deemed successful, although there is currently no specified timeline for McMahon’s recovery.
McMahon’s influence on recent WWE programming has been a topic of discussion in the wrestling community. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer highlighted that the recent trend of using nicknames on-air, such as “Dirty Dom” or “Big Bronson Reed,” was a directive from McMahon himself. However, this initiative was less strongly emphasized in subsequent episodes of SmackDown or Raw, suggesting that McMahon might have decided to abandon this idea.
Despite his health challenges, McMahon’s influence on WWE programming remains evident. His unique approach to character development, as seen in the recent nickname trend, continues to shape the WWE narrative. However, how his recovery from surgery might impact his involvement in future WWE programming remains to be seen.
As the wrestling community wishes McMahon a speedy recovery, fans and fellow wrestlers alike will be keenly watching for any updates on his health status and potential return to the WWE scene.
