Vince McMahon shocked the pro wrestling world with his abrupt exit from WWE in July 2022, paving way for Triple H to take his spot as the head booker of the sports and entertainment juggernaut. The billionaire didn’t stay away from his company for long and simply maneuvered his way back to the top in January 2023.
Vince McMahon was a major part of WrestleMania 38 last year as he watched the match between Austin Theory and Pat McAfee from ringside. The boss wrestled McAfee in an impromptu match that saw him emerge as the victor. After the match, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin came out to the ring to deliver a stunner on both Austin and Theory.
Fans who watched the angle know that Vince McMahon did a terrible job selling the stunner. The WWE owner was trolled hard for the awful sell-job on the internet. It seems that Vince became a laughing stock for those that watched the spot from behind the scenes as the 77-year-old was trolled by a WWE Hall of Fame.
A&E aired their rivals special featuring Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar last night. The episode profiled The Tribal Chief’s WrestleMania 38 bout with The Beast as well. A clip from the special showed The Undertaker, Triple H, Bruce Prichard and Vince observing the match from Gorilla.
In the clip, The Phenom can be seen trolling Vince McMahon for the stunner sell-job. Taker tells Vince he should’ve quit the moment he took his shirt off for the impromptu match against Pat McAfee at night 2 of WrestleMania 38. Vince tells him he lost his shoes to which Taker replies he wishes the boss should’ve lost his way to the ring.
“You could of just quit when you took your shirt off. It was f*cking right off the cliff after that.”
It was recently reported that Vince McMahon made a significant payment of $17.4 million towards the Board of Directors’ Special Committee investigation. The payment was made in relation to the investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against the WWE owner and former Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.
