Former WWE employee exasperated with Vince McMahon's appearance on SmackDown
Former WWE writer Vince Russo reacted to Vince McMahon's appearance on the latest edition of SmackDown.
The former CEO of WWE had to step back from his designation due to allegations of paying an employee $3 million in a settlement to cover up an alleged affair. The investigation came to light when the Wall Street Journal reported the incident on June 15. His daughter, Stephanie McMahon, has been announced as the interim CEO, which she confirmed via social media.
The 76-year-old recently kicked off SmackDown wherein he welcomed everyone to the show, stating the importance of the words in the introduction of vignette 'Then, Now, Forever, Together' with the last word being crucial.
Vince Russo took to Twitter to call out McMahon, citing that he takes responsibility for his own mistakes and not anyone else's.
"“Together” my a**. I’ll take responsibility for MY OWN Mistakes, not Anybody Else’s, Thank You."
“Together” my ass. I’ll take responsibility for MY OWN Mistakes, not Anybody Else’s, Thank You.
