Details on Vince McMahon's alleged heat with fired WWE legend
Arn Anderson has dismissed speculation that he left WWE due to having a strained relationship with Vince McMahon.
In March 2019, Wrestling Inc. reported that Anderson received his WWE release after allowing an intoxicated Alicia Fox to perform at a live event. The report also claimed that a “furious” Vince McMahon had issues with Anderson in the past.
Anderson was asked on his ARN podcast about his experiences of arguing with Vince McMahon. The WWE Hall of Famer said there is no such thing as an argument with him, as the WWE Chairman always gets his own way. He also responded to the report about Vince McMahon allegedly having problems with him.
“I found this amusing. There were some rumors when I first was terminated with the company that the reason was there had been quite a few backstage arguments between Vince McMahon and I. There probably would’ve only been one and I would’ve been out the door. That’s not a guy that you want to argue with. It’s a guy that sometimes you try to reason with. Sometimes you get through and sometimes you don’t.”
Anderson also said on this week’s episode that he was “absolutely thrilled” when he left Vince McMahon’s company.
