Vince McMahon claims he has no sympathy for people who want to retire; never wanted to
Vince McMahon shared his thoughts about retirement and revealed that he has no sympathy for those who choose to go down that path. The 79-year-old is the former CEO of WWE but departed the company earlier this year due to allegations of sex trafficking from a former employee.
The docuseries "Mr. McMahon" has been released on Netflix. Speaking on the docuseries, McMahon commented on the idea of retirement and claimed that he never envisioned himself doing it. He added that he never understood why people would want to stop growing, and noted that he had zero sympathy for those who choose to retire.
"Do I ever see myself retiring? No, I don't ever see myself ever retiring. I never understood why people stop growing. When you stop growing, you die. Some people are like, 'I want to retire one day.' What are you gonna do when you retire? I have no sympathy for people like that. So...go die," he said. [H/T: Fightful]
