Vince McMahon Reaction

Four panels stacked vertically, same guy in each: WWE boss Vince McMahon getting more and more hyped. Panel one he's mildly interested. By the bottom panel he's leaning back, mouth open, eyes glowing like he's ascending to another plane. You label each panel with a version of the same thing, escalating, and the point is panel four is so much better than panel one that it's barely the same activity. "Texting her." "Calling her." "FaceTiming her." "Showing up at her door at 3am, glowing." That kind of thing.

It's a ranking format. Anything you can put on a scale of increasing intensity works, which is basically everything, which is why it spread so fast. People also splice in their own extra panels to push the bit further past the laser-eyes finale, because once McMahon is glowing the only way up is more glowing.

Still in heavy rotation years later. The four-panel escalation is one of those templates that outlived the moment it came from — plenty of people posting it have no idea who McMahon is or that it's wrestling footage at all. It just reads as "the increasingly excited guy", and that's enough to keep it going.
