WWE Chairman Vince McMahon recently got entailed in a controversial matter. The Wall Street Journal recently unveiled that WWE is investigating a secret $3 million settlement paid to a former employee of Mr. McMahon. The probe has also scooped several claims of misconduct from former employees toward The Chairman and top executive John Laurinaitis. Now, the former WWE head writer Vince Russo took to Twitter and in a series of Tweets, he shared his thoughts on the recent investigations and accusations against his former boss.
Vince Russo shares his honest thoughts on the matter
Vince Russo, the head writer during the height of The Attitude Era, recently opined on the allegations in a series of tweets. He first shared a link to an article about the situation and followed it up by claiming WWE wanted him to work for free, probably because Vince had taken out the $3 million. Russo then added that he’d take the news with a glass of Karma (spelled “Kharma”). He also joked about whether the whole thing would be covered in a Netflix docu-series.
He then wondered if Vince’s children Stephanie and Shane McMahon, who both stepped away from the company in 2022, knew this was coming.
After posting his initial run of tweets, Russo ended the discussion with a harsh truth. The former WWE head writer noted that it doesn’t matter how much money one makes; what matters is walking the right path:
“I’ll stop now. Just remember —- NO ONE is above it all. NO ONE. Doesn’t matter how much you have in your wallet. Just walk the right path, that’s all. I’m stopping now. I had my sh**s and giggles,” Russo wrote.
