It's always wild to me how Vince will always be cheered. Fans will boo his every decision and hate his every controversy, but the second his music hits the live crowd loses their shit.

He just said "I'm gonna remind everyone about our signature - Then, now, forever, and most importantly, together".

I'm surprised he could even be understood. He's looking rough.

Why did he come out and give a speech though?

He "stepped down" for optics. He's still running the shows and head of creative.

it's like a regular office CEO stepping down and then giving a big speech at the company Christmas party 3 days later

It was short and he didn't address any of the recent controversy, but a disaster? He got cheered.

Looking at the facts this is pretty low on the Vince McMahon Totem Pole of Sleaze. I'm not sure it even ranks.

It's well known he's been involved with some dark shit and wrestling fans decided not to care. Performative outrage until they are in the building cheering for "Mr. McMahon".

Is it just me, or does Vince look more lively and energetic then he has in years?

What the fuck?

So basically:

And Vince is doing the thing like in Casino where DeNiro is technically the "Food and Beverage Manager", but is really running the whole show.

Because fans love to hate him.

TC, Im just curious like 90% of your topics that I see are about how much WWE sucks. Why pay so much attention and devote your time to something that you clearly hate? Just focus on things that you like instead.

I'm genuinely interested in behind-the-scenes trainwrecks in the wrestling industry. The past few weeks have been filled with them. I don't like the current state of WWE's TV but I don't necessarily hate it.

He stepped down purely for pr purposes to get the attention off him. Everybody knows he's still calling the shots.

I ****ing loved it. Vince got his headlines, popped a rating, and proceeded to do nothing, because what TF were we expecting to happen?

I was worked, and it was great.

This. Its not even Vince's worst accusation of sexual misconduct.

Though this is likely an excuse by the rest of WWE's corporate guys to try to remove Vince and take over, which depending on who you ask could actually be a good thing.

Vince McMahon is just a slightly friendly version of his buddy, Trump. It's no surprise that he would take zero accountability for anything.

Absolutely not saying what he did was good (well, the sexual misconduct allegations), just that its not the worst thing he's been accused of (because it isn't)

I saw that interview back in the day. Vince addressed it in an in-character interview on Monday Night Raw attacking Costas, then the camera zoomed on a fan sign which read, "Screw you, Bob Costas."

I can admit, I do find it amusing how Vince is acting. Just purely because it's like...straight up ridiculous.

Not condoning what he did at all, but hell, man. Not many people can do what he does. And he's like 90% sure going to get away with it.

That interview always looked in-character to me. Just more presentable.
