Nick Khan appeared to defend Vince McMahon’s alleged sexual misconduct and affairs in a new Bill Simmons podcast interview, “Maybe certain things that were acceptable years ago aren’t acceptable now. The modern day rules should apply to the modern day. I don’t think it should apply to the past.”
He also discussed Vince McMahon returning to WWE, “From the inside, it’s not that insane to me. But it’s also, you know, again, the word, insider, when you’re on the inside, you sort of see things that might be coming and know what might be coming. You know, my thought has always been, there’s only one boss at WWE and it ain’t me.
Vince is obviously the founder, creator of the company. He’s also the controlling shareholder, which is, you know, that’s not a work term. That’s a legal term. So I think it was always my point of view, or was Stephanie’s point of view at some point, he would come back.
I think the way that he played it, to me, was smart in that he went away for five, six months, which people, meaning the audience, seems to like when somebody does that. He came back and took control back of his company as a control shareholder. So it is the public’s company as a publicly traded company, but with that controlling share, gave him a lot of authority and he used it, and I applaud him for doing so.”
