A WWE legend has made an extremely shocking admission about the treatment of women in the wrestling business during Vince McMahon's Netflix documentary. The legend in question is Tony Atlas.
Atlas is one of the biggest names in the pro wrestling world. He started his career with World Wrestling Entertainment in 1979, and won the Tag Team Championship alongside The Rock's father, Rocky Johnson. He was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006.
Throughout WWE's history, several women have come forward to talk about the abuse they faced during their time in the wrestling business. Many top names have been accused of sexual misconduct, including the company's former CEO Vince McMahon.
During episode 2 of the Netflix documentary, Mr. McMahon, Tony Atlas openly admitted to abusing women back in the day. He did not mention any names but said that they (the perpetrators) would have been considered the worst human beings in today's society. The Hall of Famer went as far as to say that females were considered 'toys.'
"We would have been looked upon in today's society as some of the worst human beings walking the face of the Earth. I mean, we abused the hell out of women. All of us did. You know, they were like a toy for us," Atlas said. [31:09 - 31:20]
