    Met Christ Jericho in 1999. He came to my high school and he stayed till everyone was left. I stayed till the end and I was by the exit. Next thing I see is Chris Jericho come walking by himself toward me in the high school gym. I was about 14 and he was coming towards me and he put up his hand to give me a high five. I never forgot it. Such a great guy. This was a high school in the Bronx. He is an amazing talent and human being.

    This interview is Vincent Kennedy McMahon, in a nutshell
    He is the force, and the folly. He wins big, and he loses big.
    He is up there to hit home runs, or strikeout, but he always shows up, and is not afraid of the outcome.
    The world needs guys like that. He has the vision, and you make it reality. It's a good system.

      I told you Andrew Yang was coming back. ON that Yang interview in 20/20 he said they were going after Vinny. He said , ' oh we got a long list of names that are going to speak out against him.. it's bad , its bad' . All these Cornette fans thought it was talk. they are removing Vince from the E, either Disney buys them out and end of year or Nick Khan and the Rock (Dani Garcia) Bid to become majority shareholders.
      This is why HHH and Steph are leaving, they are going to start a new mcmahon helmsely promotion inn 2024 or seomthing bringing back all the nxt guys. This why WWE was easily letting go of talent in 2021 and letting them go to aew w/ push back like they did in 2019.

    That line of Vince saying that he wishes he could get away sometimes was pretty strong. It's true that Vince is absolutely necessary and irreplaceable every single day to that company. He cannot get away. It reminds me of my own dad talking about how he wishes he could take a step back from his own companies at times and just can't because he knows (not think, but knows) that the company will suffer without him always being there. It is a really tough thing to run a company and most people nowadays really don't know that. Rubbing something as massive as the WWE, I couldn't even imagine.

    I would hold off on the “nothing illegal happened.” If Vince used his personal money to pay the women involved, then that’s true enough. However, if he used company money that’s an entirely different story. WWE is a publicly traded company and therefore has a higher standard of reporting on this type of issues.

  • @Kromatt
    @Kromatt 2 года назад +33

    Chris is right about Vince adjusting and improving on the ideas presented, but that was a different time, where there were less restrictions and not have to worry about the shareholders and investors.
    The best was about wrestling, storylines and people were able to be themselves.
    Nowadays, everything is scripted, and promos are written well in advance and only a select few have their own material.
    Also making it PG trying to relate to kids, is the wrong way to go about things.
    Back in the 90s, we didn't have so many options to media, videogames, entertainment , so of course the viewership was up with ratings above 4 , and it was fun to watch back then and competition made it strive to get better, but after Vince took assets from WCW & ECW , they didn't have a big rival, so they played it safe and made it more about money .

    • @leehaines6049
      @leehaines6049 2 года назад +2

      I would disagree with the turning the idea into a great one with a slight adjustment… Chris wouldn’t have ever thought to suggest that because he was new to the promotion, didn’t know where on the card he would be and would essentially be asking the owner to give him air time and rub on the companies top baby face promo… Vince has the luxury of calling all the shots so whatever he wants goes and that’s why people believe he has the best ideas… I see this all the time in corporate business… the big boss has the best idea… it’s hardly ever true, it’s just that the higher level stakeholder is allowed to know more about the business so can use this as leverage over others to make it seem like he is more intelligent etc it’s definitely not always the case! I bet if you asked Chris when the countdown clock should end and you can literally pick any moment, he would have came up with something similar, my guess would be literally during a match with the two top wrestlers, after his promo baby face loses through distraction and this cements him as major heel… it isn’t rocket science at all🤷🏽‍♂️

    Love hearing these nuggets of insider knowledge - especially from a guy like Jericho.
    Think he was right about the McMahon scandal too. The only way he's fired is if the WWE board think keeping him around will lose them too many fans...and I would hazard a guess most don't care that much. He's the bad guy they like to boo anyway...this will just add to that.

    I can see two sides to this story.
    1) It's not illegal, there was a mutual NDA signed by both parties to not speak about the event.
    2) It's an abuse of power, while not illegal it still could violate the company's bylaws and the board could suggest resignation. Of course, if the supreme boss of a company shows he's into you, you don't say no and turn down advances. You can get fired, demoted, or you could take a pay cut if you did so. These are all very real considerations. Even if your boss wants to go out for an innocent lunch, you don't say no, or at least 90% of people wouldn't say no. However, this wasn't lunch, it was an affair from a boss to an employee with a very real power dynamic at play.
    It's not like Vince did anything horrifying or violent or blatantly illegal. But, abuse of power, especially when divulged to the public, is a real problem. That's why Vince stepped down temporarily, because he realizes this isn't just a small thing. We'll see what happens.

He ended up being one of the few WCW guys to get himself over. I loved him as a heel, as a face etc. Now he is a bit lazy in AEW doing the hardcore stuff but he is always on point with the mic & the new character creations. Sadly he hasnt whipped those kids into shape but rather adapted to their style of mud show wrestling.

    My thoughts exactly, I didn’t think any of this was gonna do anything bad for Vince but than that one report where he coerced a former women’s wrestler into sexual acts and didn’t renew her contract when she didn’t want to continue it. That’s the only actual bad account from the ones reported. Because having an an affair and paying them to not share the affair isn’t illegal. But forcing someone to do sexual acts for a career push is probably illegal. Like blackmail.

Thats why actors and athletes get accused all the time you fuck them they claim rape you say consensual and people say believe all women. They didn't settle until me too was a thing. She was obviously fishing for money at that point. If it happened there would be police reports and tons of people would be like yeah she told me in 07 or something but nope. It was just shutting down a lie for less then it would have cost to fight if she did an interview. You cant believe anything without a MINIMUM of an arrest and you shouldnt believe either side until you seen the evidence in the court case first.
