Vince McMahon’s highly anticipated documentary, Mr. McMahon, has finally released and fans all over the world are already getting to hear some outrageous statements from McMahon. In fact, McMahon claimed that people who want to retire should go die.
Vince McMahon built a reputation in the wrestling world for working tirelessly and rarely missing a show. Even in his 70s, many wrestlers, employees, and fans believed he would stay with WWE until the end of his life.
The final episode of Vince McMahon’s documentary focused on his last years with the company, his two resignations, and an ongoing lawsuit from former employee Janel Grant.
During the episode, there was archive footage from WrestleMania 38, where McMahon competed in his last match against Pat McAfee after McAfee defeated Austin Theory. In the clips, McMahon was asked if he ever thought about stepping back or retiring.
McMahon responded that he didn’t see himself retiring and expressed confusion about why people would want to stop growing, saying that when you stop growing, you die. He added that he had no sympathy for those who want to retire, telling them to go die.
“Do I ever see myself retiring? No. I don’t ever see myself retiring. I never understood why people stop growing. When you stop growing, you die. Some people are like ‘I want to retire one day.’ What are you going to do when you retire? I have no sympathy for people like that. So, go die.”
Vince McMahon even tried to destroy the Netflix documentary by attempting to purchase it, to no avail. Regardless, McMahon’s thoughts on how people live their lives will likely incite more outrage from fans and critics alike and nothing can be done about that.
