Vince McMahon looks like he’s going for a rebrand, as the WWE chairman’s pencil thin mustache drew some hilarious comparisons from fans who tuned into his interview with CNBC.
McMahon has recently taken back the reins of his company after The Wall Street Journal exposed the businessman’s hush money payments totaling $12 million to suppress allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity going back 16 years. The WWE chairman stepped down from his position last year, but it now seems he is once again heavily involved with the decision making behind the wrestling franchise.
McMahon is also overseeing the merger between WWE and UFC, he spoke with CNBC about the deal yesterday, and in doing so exposed his new look to the world. Suffice to say, fans were a little taken aback.
The changes are pretty drastic, it’s hard to even see the man he used to be, his facial structure looks somewhat uncanny. But fans had some fun poking at the disgraced businessman on Twitter, with most comparing his new look to the business mogul, Walt Disney, mostly because of that mustache.
The comparisons go deeper than just looks, though, as both businessmen certainly have some shady aspects surrounding their behavior and opinions, which is perhaps why there is a lot of justified roasting of the WWE chairman right now.
It seems that Vince has finally given up the ruse, and is now just going with the full-on villain look. At least we can all get a laugh out of the creative roasts twitter users are coming up with for the new McMahon.
