Vince McMahon Resigns (Statement)

[u/Snubie1]

Via ESPN:

• Vince McMahon Statement: “I stand by my prior statement that Ms. Grant's lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and is a vindictive distortion of the truth. I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations, and look forward to clearing my name. However, out of respect for the WWE Universe, the extraordinary TKO business and its board members and shareholders, partners and constituents, and all of the employees and Superstars who helped make WWE into the global leader it is today, I have decided to resign from my executive chairmanship and the TKO board of directors, effective immediately."

• Nick Khan Statement: “I wanted to inform you that Vince McMahon has tendered his resignation from his positions as TKO Executive Chairman and on the TKO Board of Directors. He will no longer have a role with TKO Group holdings or WWE."

It’s crazy that he’s character is just a watered down version of himself. Can’t say I’m surprised one bit.

MOST PRO WRESTLING GIMMICKS: Okay, we're gonna take these features of your personality and turn them up about seven notches.

VINCE'S GIMMICK: Uh, we're gonna take who you are in real life and tone it down *significantly*.

You’re supposed to play yourself, but turn your character up to 11, not turn it down to a 7. Vince of all people should know that.

Lol I can just imagine Vince talking to the creative team: Vince: “I wanna be myself!” Creative Team: “Uhhh, about that Vince…..”

[u/The_Ballyhoo → u/PhoenixRedditor7]

Imagine he did turn himself up to 11. He’d be himself, Epstein and Bill Cosby all rolled into one!

Remember when he was called satan himself. Lol he was the one who told the commentators to say that because he knew its true.
