Vince McMahon was the CEO of WWE and has been one of the biggest names in the pro wrestling business for decades. He does whatever he wants to do, whenever he wants to, and that’s never changing. Chris Jericho also recalled Vince McMahon wanted to get away as well.
Mr. McMahon managed to make headlines for all the wrong reasons after he secretly paid $3 million as a settlement to a departing employee. Because of that, McMahon is currently under investigation.
To make matters worse, McMahon also paid $12 million in hush money as well, and this once again made things worse. While speaking on the True Geordie podcast, Chris Jericho claimed that Vince McMahon once told him he wants to get away sometimes when Jericho wanted to leave WWE back in 2005.
“I loved working for Vince McMahon. I loved how Vince would challenge me and push me. And I also laugh when people say, ‘Oh, Vince has lost it,’ and oh, look at Vince, he’s a terrible Booker and all this other stuff. Maybe it’s not great sometimes, but you’re also dealing with a guy who’s been doing this for 40 years.
Imagine doing this for 40 years. I remember when I left in 2005, I said I need to get away. And he said to me, ‘I wish I could get away sometimes, but I can’t.’ Kind of wistfully for like three seconds, then he was back to Vince McMahon.”
Jericho also doesn’t think Vince McMahon will get in trouble after the recent misconduct allegations. We’ll have to wait and see what will become of McMahon in the end.
