Vince McMahon was reportedly not easy to talk to because of his "temper" backstage in WWE (Exclusive)
Vince McMahon was not an easy person to speak to backstage, according to WWE veteran Dutch Mantell.
After Triple H took charge of the creative process in WWE following Vince McMahon's retirement, multiple stars talked about working with him. The overall feeling was positive since he took the helm, with Bayley saying that Triple H taking over was "life-changing" for many of the stars in the locker room.
On the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's SmackTalk, Dutch Mantell talked about Triple H taking over from Vince McMahon.
He mentioned that he had heard the writing staff were happier with The Game in charge and said that previously it had been difficult for superstars and staff to talk to Vince backstage. The former chairman apparently had a temper which made it unpleasant if he was not in a good mood.
“I did hear that morale of the writing staff in WWE is much higher now. I guess it’s because they are not getting cussed out by Vince! And I think Triple H encourages them and is easy to talk to. You see Vince, you never know what kind of mood he’s gonna be in. He’s not going to hit anybody, but he had such a mouth, he had such a temper, and I’ve never been on the receiving end of it, but I’ve seen some guys and it’s not fun to watch," said Mantell.
