I met Vince McMahon back in 1977 @ msg. Nice man. He asked if me and my father if we enjoyed the show. I told him I couldn't see much of the show due to sitting in the back and a tall man in front of me. He says " that so? Well that's not good! " he walked away after thanking us for coming. My dad and I were about to head out through the lobby and a backstage crew member stopped us and gave us 2 tix for the next show. Crew member mentions " Mr. McMahon apologies and hopes you enjoy the the next show" I'm not sure how he is now, even after all the scandals and lawsuits, but the vince I met was a stand up guy. He's a legend and the wwf/e wouldn't be what it is today without him making his visions come true

However, Yes he had some rough times and did spend some time being poor but then had the good fortune of his father returning and that is what changes his life. He did not do it all on his own, he had a father who finally hit in business and changed Vince's life forever. Had that not happened I doubt he ends up where he did.

Vince was an insanely driven man that knew exactly what he wanted and would bulldoze anyone in his way to get it. Hes both brilliant and cruel. A victim and a victimizer. Life is messy and dark and at the end of the day we are all complecated human beings. Its correct to say Vince was a successful man in many ways and a great father to his kids in most aspects. And hes done lots of good deeds throughout his years to individuals and organisations But laden throughought all of it was a man that ruined lives for no reason whatsoever. He did things you dont have to do to make it big in business. Things that casually destroy lives and hurt people and for what? He was fun to watch on camera and played his part in the greatest era in wrestling but he was a piece of shit that perpetrated the cycle of cruelty onto others instead of overcoming it.

I understand what the Americans are saying about how he ruined the smaller promotions and so on but I don’t think Wrestling would have been as much of an international phenomenon without his influence and promotional abilities. People all around the world probably would never have seen anything like what the old WWF was without a ruthless and driven businessman bringing all the best talent into his organisation and putting everything including the insane promotion on steroids.

You’re 30yrs old? To think the year you were born I went to my first WWF show at the old Wembley Stadium in 1992 for SummerSlam with my parents and brother I was 10yrs old (11 that October) and I still remember that show for all the legends of the business that were there! Even though Flair & Hennig didn’t wrestle they were still there to interfere in the WWF title match between Savage & Ultimate Warrior and even though my favourite wrestler Hulk Hogan wasn’t there (despite what he says when talking about the Hulkster in Heaven song influence) I got to see my favourite wrestler (until Austin) the Undertaker

I grew up with a guy in small town NH who was all about wrestling.. He built his own ring and got friends together to put on shows. Fast forward to after high school he got a development deal with then WWF. Wrestled in some dark matches and ultimately got hurt. Then addicted to pain pills. When the WWF dropped him for the addiction it's Drs gave him he opened a Wrestling School here. Then was found one morning in his car parked at the school. He had OD'd.. The WWF didn't do the responsible thing with him. They doped him to get what they needed from him. Then dropped him.

Wow you got so much wrong, conflated so much and missed a ton. Especially when it came to Brett Hart. Literally none of it was right. Brett was offered the 10 years contract 2 years before that when his contract came up, then the WWF was going public so had to clear as much of the bottom line as possible, a huge contract like that was one of the things that had to go. Vince tore up Brett's contract and helped him negotiate with WCW. On the way out the door Brett was still the champion and Shawn made a mistake when they had a conversation about dropping the title. This lead to Brett pulling his creative control clause which he only had in the last 6 months of his contract and said no chance. So the screw job was planned, Brett thinking he is dropping the title on Raw the next night before going to WCW. This is just one thing you got very very wrong, in future I would suggest doing some research.

In my opinion, Hulk Hogan was an amazing character. He wasn't the best, he wasn't the biggest, but he clicked with people worldwide. I don't know if Terry started life selfish or if the fame corrupted him. I don't know if he spent so many years playing a role that the character bleeds into reality, and the over the top performance as Hulk Hogan deluded or diluted the person that is/was Terry Bollea. What I do know, is that the characters of Hulk Hogan was an inspiration to an entire generation of hulkamaniacs. That he was a role model and something to aspire to be. He also encompasses the phrase, never meet your heroes.

Vince looks down on people who use their environment as a crutch. Talking about opportunity and shit. Vince was brought into a successful business started by his grandfather and his dad. If Vince Sr. hadn't come back into Vince Jr.'s life there's no guarantee he would be where his is now financially. He was basically given a successful business to run with, he was handed opportunity, he benefitted greatly from the work of others. He didn't fight and claw his way out of poverty, he was given a better life.

@@Slick_Rick859 That’s not necessarily true but it’s not necessarily wrong either. Vince SNR gave Vince the opportunity to run a small promotion in Bangor Main and show his father he could draw a profit. Had he not been successful he would have been kicked out of the wrestling buisness. So he had to graft to make it work with his wife. Vince later took out a huge loan to buy the WWWF from his father. This gamble could have very easily ruined Vince had it not gone his way. But with a smart buisness mind, ability to promote and work 24 hours a day 7 days a week along with some luck he pulled it off. So success wasn’t given to him. He had to earn it. That guy pulled in more hours a week then we would do on a normal work shift.
