STAMFORD, Conn., July 22, 2022 Vince McMahon today released the following statement: As I approach 77 years old, I feel its time for me to retire as Chairman and CEO of WWE. Throughout the years, its been a privilege to help WWE bring you joy, inspire you, thrill you, surprise you, and always entertain you. I would like to thank my family for mightily contributing to our success, and I would also like to thank all of our past and present Superstars and employees for their dedication and passion for our brand. Most importantly, I would like to thank our fans for allowing us into your homes every week and being your choice of entertainment. I hold the deepest appreciation and admiration for our generations of fans all over the world who have liked, currently like, and sometimes even love our form of Sports Entertainment. Our global audience can take comfort in knowing WWE will continue to entertain you with the same fervor, dedication, and passion as always. I am extremely confident in the continued success of WWE, and I leave our company in the capable hands of an extraordinary group of Superstars, employees, and executives in particular, both Chairwoman and Co-CEO Stephanie McMahon and Co-CEO Nick Khan. As the majority shareholder, I will continue to support WWE in any way I can. My personal thanks to our community and business partners, shareholders, and Board of Directors for their guidance and support through the years. Then. Now. Forever. Together.

Yeah, I'm kind of stunned. He slept only 3 hours a night because he spent most of his waking hours working on the product.

But it's pretty clear why he's stepping down though...

Surprised he hasnt died from a heart attack from all the roids hes on. But i dont know where i stand on vince. Sometimes i feel like he was the smartest sob and sometimes i feel like he got lucky.

But wrestlings the only thing he was ever good at. All his other ventures were massive failures. Icopro, wbf, wwe films, xfl.

if he's just sitting on shares to make money, but not actually making any decisions, then yeah, this means something.

my tell has always been Kevin Dunn's employment status. when he goes, you know steph is actually in charge.

One thing I always respected about Vince, was that he was willing to lift weights and throw down with the same wrestlers he was boss over.

Basically he didnt ask anything of his talent (in the ring) that he wouldnt do himself.

In other words their investigation turned up something actually illegal and they gave him the option of retirement or criminal prosecution.

This. Vince will still be making the decisions and raking in the dough, he just put a new figurehead out there to pretend they are in charge in hopes of people not boycotting the brand and eventually forgetting about what he did. He's basically going to lurk for the rest of his days when it comes to him and the company in the public eye and any decisions he makes behind the scenes will be carried out and credited to his kids. Basically almost nothing has really changed.

How amazing was this guy as an entertainer during his prime? I know it came with a lot of bad shit too but can't deny this guy was peak WWE, and the quality massively dropped once he stopped caring or got too old

I see absolutely nothing wrong with what Khan said in that Tweet. Considering the amount of bullshit Vince did to other promoters, and why he's actually stepping down. And it's not because he saw blood in his urine.

Who is Nick Khan? (srs)
Khan joined WWE in August 2020, leaving his post as co-head of the television department at CAA, where he won his future employers over by negotiating domestic media rights deals that were 3.6 times richer than their previous agreements. It was more of the same in January 2021, when he and his boss, WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, negotiated a five-year pact reportedly worth more than $1 billion with longtime partner NBCUniversal, granting its platform Peacock exclusive streaming rights to WWE Network in the U.S. Khan also closed deals for a Netflix documentary on McMahon, an audio content partnership with Spotify/The Ringer, a limited scripted series with Blumhouse and a Friday Night SmackDown event staged as part of the Rolling Loud music festival in Miami in July 2021.
