This explains why he "Retired" so abruptly.

I still can't believe this is actually happening, this might be the biggest Wrestling story since Benoit.

I wouldn't be surprised. Even with WWE going public he still treated the company as his own.

He deleted the tweet, but

Thats called embezzlement. Unless he paid it backwhich I doubt.

It's embezzlement even if he did pay it back

It's embezzlement regardless if you paid it back. You're not allowed to use company funds regardless of intention to pay back for personal goods.

Like, regardless, isn't he supposed to be insanely rich and could have paid that himself regardless... lol

The way he worded his tweet you know something was up. It was like "yup, im 77. Time to go."

Youd think it be more heartfelt. I wonder how much stuff will come out about vince after he dies.

Welcome to like a month ago now

A bunch of bitter nobody's telling stories on podcasts. Oh wait they do that now.

I'd be more surprised if this WASN'T true.

Seeing as Vince was fucking employees (allegedly), just structure it as a "bonus" and it's not technically embezzlement anymore.

I'm disappointed that he didn't "future endeavors" himself in his going away message.

I think I saw a clip where Vince was yelling at him through the headset about pushing an advertisement and Michael was not having it.

Yeah, thats still not what its for. It was hush money no matter what you call it. Thats why he lost his job.

He's laying low for a couple years or so like Hogan did and Flair should.

He's a Republican billionaire. The alphabet boys would be better off in investigating black holes.

he has absolutely no life outside of work. he's on borrowed time, anyway.

With Vince McMahons exit from WWE, more details are coming out about what he was like backstage and a new report says he needed to be filtered by creative team assistants during meetings. Fightful Select reports that people within the creative process in WWE are being more forthcoming with what it was like to work there under McMahon and several people have said that many of the assistants to the writers needed to essentially fliter McMahon in particular ways.

Those ways included having to know what to not write for McMcMahon while taking notes, as he would say things that would appear insensitive/offensive, constantly refer to people with the wrong names, or use terms that werent that werent acceptable and that he would never allow to be said on television. It was said that the minutes were edited quite heavily as well, and that both situations had largely been the case for a long time.

One former production employe was quoted as saying, If a live feed of Vince McMahon on a headset any given night ever made it out, that it would provide a picture of that production experience, especially for the announcers. There were plenty of times he was in a good mood, but he would blow up at the most ridiculous things and act like they ruined an angle that was far past its expiration date anyway.

One person said that in terms of the creative process, the biggest change they expected under Triple H said, Recall of what we have and havent done repeatedly. There were so many things that Vince insisted on doing that Im pretty sure he didnt remember doing over and over again, even when people would tell him.
