Former WWE personality Dutch Mantell recently spoke about what Vince McMahon's return meant for the future of the company.

Mr. McMahon captured headlines when he found his way back at the helm of things in WWE. The Genetic Jackhammer used his majority voting rights to elect himself and two other top executives, Michelle Wilson and George Barrios, to the board.

Mantell was on the latest episode of Smack Talk where he shared his thoughts on the development. He suggested that Vince would be associated with the company in some capacity even after a potential sale. the wrestling veteran expressed his amazement at the story since Vinnie Mac's return was so sudden and seemed so implausible just a few months ago.

"I don't think he'll be out of the picture now. I mean, I couldn't envision him three months ago even getting a chance to come back, even though he had 83% of some shares and he had all the voting shares in the family. This should be a TV show." [From 10:47 - 11:10]
