WATCH: How is Vince McMahon Jr. different from his dad?

A wrestling legend once pointed out the difference between Vince McMahon Jr. and his father. WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka debuted in 1969. He had a successful journey, competing in various promotions, including WWF, NWA, WCW, and NJPW.

Snuka's first run in WWE came in 1982 as he became one of the top heels in the promotion before leaving in 1986. He also became The Undertaker's first WrestleMania victim en route to The Phenom's 21 consecutive victories at The Show of Shows before being conquered by Brock Lesnar. The legend returned to the company in 1989 and was also a part of several other notable promotions. He continued making sporadic appearances until 2009 in a feud against Chris Jericho.

In 2007, the veteran opened up about how the two generations of McMahon's were different. While he was all praise for the founder of WWWF, he did not have many nice things to say about Vince McMahon. Snuka, who passed away in 2017, stated that McMahon Sr. was a man of his word, while his son had a lot to learn in the industry.

Vince McMahon resigned from WWE after landing in hot water

McMahon resigned from WWE in July 2022 following a hush-money scandal. However, the former CEO returned in January last year and oversaw the promotion's sale to the Endeavor Group and the subsequent merger with UFC under the TKO banner.

McMahon was named Executive Chairman following the merger but things would soon take a drastic turn. Earlier this year, Janel Grant, a former employee, came forward with a litany of serious allegations against the former Chairman. This led to a lawsuit which also reportedly mentioned some of the higher-ups in the promotion.

The 78-year-old denied all the allegations and later resigned from the TKO board and all his roles. The company is currently run by Nick Khan, while Triple H is head of creative.
