Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2015 Not a joke post. Apparently his vision is all to pot and has been for a few months. A post from Reddit which has caused a lot of discussion. 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. Â This is pretty sad. His eyes have looked all fucked up for a while now, and this might explain why's he's took a step back from the business a bit. This gif is fucking tragic as well.

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted May 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2015 That really sucks. Dude's 70 years old, though. These things happen as you get older. In my mind, it's still the 90s and Vince is taking stunners on a weekly basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'm hoping this is bullshit but it would explain a lot. That gif seems to confirm it though. Spurs is right, you forget they're not as young as they used to be human. I was still hoping for a Vince retirement storyline/match. Â There can't be many pairs of eyes that have seen as much as Vince's have. Tragic if it is the case. Nobody in wrestling ever had a better vision than him.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted May 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2015 He seems to have aged rapidly in the past 3/5 years; weird because Vince always looked about 45 for the longest time. I was taken aback when I watched that Warrior documentary preview and he did the intro. Â Typical Vince trying his hardest to not sell such a thing, though.

Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Is Vince a glasses wearer? I swear Ive seen him wearing them backstage (Beyond The Mat/Wrestling With Shadows maybe?) Â I really wish he'd just step away and enjoy the next few years as a Grandfather etc. The guy certainly deserves a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Maverick Posted May 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2015 It happens to a surprising amount of men as they get older, my grandfather included. It really is awful especially for someone as proud as Vince. Hopefully its bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted May 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2015 I know it's morbid, but it would be a huge shame if Vince doesn't do a (probably ghost written) autobiography while he's still able. Or at least a really good WWE documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members herbie747 Posted May 5, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2015 There's speculation it could be exasperated by years of doing sunbeds without wearing the goggles they give you, & just closing your eyes instead.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Blick Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I hope it's just a case of him not wanting to wear glasses on camera/in front of an arena full of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah, this is Vince, after all; the man who gets livid with himself if he sneezes. Don't all people his age need glasses? More likely than Vince actually going blind, I'd imagine he doesn't want to be 'weak' by putting contacts in, and would never, ever let himself be seen in public in specs.

Â Â Yet he's happy to walk around bumping into things, or having to use humans with flashlights like a guide dog on his TV show. I will never understand how his lunatic brain works.
