Former WWE star exposes Vince McMahon's ''transactional'' nature and treatment of stars
Former WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon has been the subject of many discussions since a new series featuring him was released on Netflix. The 79-year-old is now away from the public eye after a series of controversies led to his ouster. Meanwhile, a former WWE star recently called his former boss a ''transactional individual!''
Vince McMahon is regarded as the most successful wrestling promoter of all time. He turned WWE into a Sports Entertainment juggernaut during his regime. However, he's had his fair share of controversies over the years. Things got worse for the former boss when a lawsuit filed by former employee Janel Grant surfaced, accusing McMahon of sexual harassment and misconduct.
Maven joined Vince Russo, Jonathan Coachman, and Charlie Caruso on Piers Morgan Uncensored recently. The former WWE Hardcore Champion recalled McMahon's ''transactional'' nature. The wrestler-turned YouTuber pointed out that if a star was making him money, Vince was nice to them. However, the stars who weren't that important barely got any face time with the boss.
"Vince is a very transactional individual. If you're making him money, and a lot of these stars were making him millions, he loves you. You talked about me being let go by Vince; I agree. When you see Vince backstage, he'll ignore you. If you mean nothing to him or nothing to his show, he'll pass you by and won't give you the time of the day. Vince made his bed and is unfortunately now lying in it," he said. [From 13:25 to 13:55]
