Vince McMahon was the CEO of WWE before he had to step down following allegations of sexual misconduct and allegedly having paid $12 million in hush money in a huge scandal. He eventually retired from WWE for good and was replaced by his daughter Stephanie McMahon as the CEO of WWE. His son-in-law Triple H is now the Executive Vice President of Talent and Relations as well. Vince McMahon also lied about quitting WWE recently but ended up being real in the end.
As written in his book, Undisputed: How to Become the World Champion in 1,372 Easy Steps. Chris Jericho recalled how Triple H caused a brawl after he ignored a fan who was asked for an autograph.
“He [the fan] was being obnoxious, so H [Triple H] ignored him and got on the lift to his room. The punter started yelling, ‘All you wrestlers are assholes! You’re all a bunch of p*sses!” One of our referees, Jack Doan, told him to calm down, and the guy popped him in the face and tackled him to the ground. I dropped my bags and ran to Jack’s rescue (…) Baldboy’s friends rushed over to help him, our guys ran over to stop them, the kickboxers and their hooligan sycophants joined the fray, and suddenly the lobby was a Charles-town Chiefs– Syracuse Bulldogs bench-clearing brawl.
Finally the cops came and the boxers and their toadies scattered like the Socs after the Greasers defeated them in the parking lot rumble. The cops were WWE fans, and after asking a few questions, they kicked the remaining dregs out of the hotel, got a few autographs for their ‘kids,’ and left us alone. WWE Superstars 1, Kickboxers nil.”
