Vince McMahon Reportedly Needed Assistance to and From the Ring on May 4

Vince McMahon Reportedly Needed Assistance to and From the Ring on May 4

Fan reports from the May 4 edition of “Monday Night Raw,” which took place in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, claim that WWE CEO Vince McMahon needed assistance to and from the ring at the end of the night. McMahon made a special appearance in front of the Montreal crowd for “Pat Patterson Appreciation Night” after the broadcast on the USA Network had ended.

Apparently McMahon needed a spotlight to see what was in front of him as he made the walk to the ring, then required added assistance from the ringside crew as he made his way into the squared circle. Following his time in the ring, McMahon began to make his way back to the stage area, when he stopped and waited for other crew members to assist him backstage with flashlights.

One fan report questions McMahon’s vision after seeing this unfold, and writes,

“Tonight, Vince made a special appearance here in Montreal for the Pat Patterson appreciation night thing they were doing and I noticed something quite odd. Vince needed to follow a spot light to the ring in order to know where he was going. I didn’t think anything of it at first and thought it was just a lighting effect for his entrance.

So he follows the spotlight and then there’s a crew a member who’s directing him to the ring from a distance, making hand motions and pointing to various things so Vince doesn’t bump into stuff I guess. Once again I thought nothing of it and figured maybe he’s just making sure Vince doesn’t trip over any camera cords. 

So Vince is done with his speech and he exits the ring. He stands there then slowly paces towards the stage and looks over his shoulder for a crew member. Two of them rush towards him and began to beam pocket flashlights to the floor for Vince to follow. Once again they cautiously guide him to gorilla using the floor beams from their flashlights. He then ducks under the right platform of the Raw stage and goes to the back still with assistance. One thing though, Vince carries himself as if nothing is wrong.

His demeanor and stance would make you think otherwise but it was clear that he’s going blind or has limited vision at this point in his life. No one else needed assistance. Ambrose took the same exist and did fine on his own and so did Sami. Various other crew members took the exist with no problem/assistance and plus Vince was the only one with a spotlight during his entrance. 

He looks very tired in person and you can tell he’s a very very hard working guy both physically and mentally. It was my first time ever seeing him in real life.”

While WrestlingRumors.net is in no way claiming that there is something wrong with McMahon, it is interesting to note that McMahon was the only one that needed this assistance, and that this is not the only fan report citing this incident actually took place.

Editor’s Note:

Maybe he was just having issues on May 4. I hope nothing’s really wrong with McMahon and his vision.
