WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam recently shared his views on Vince McMahon who is one of the biggest reasons behind the ultimate success of WWE. He had been controlling the promotion for four long decades and he helped the promotion to become the best wrestling promotion in the world.
WWE went in head to head battle with many other wrestling promotions like WCW and TNA Wrestling, but in all the cases, the mighty WWE was able to master all of its competitions. Rob Van Dam recently discussed the legacy Vince McMahon on the latest episode “1 Of A Kind With RVD,”. Here is what he had to say;
The McMahon Factor: WWE Hall of Famer Discusses the Enduring Legacy of Vince McMahon
“He’s the man and I think he’s going to go down as the man that single handedly took professional wrestling from a regional sports entertainment bracket to a worldwide phenomenon worth over a billion dollars an set the standards and He’s created careers and made superstars for decades. I can’t see another Vince McMahon coming along. I’m not saying they won’t.
“I’m just saying I can’t see it. And anytime I watch any of the interviews of him being challenged or provoked or whatever, I almost always agree with his point, you know, and it goes back to that basic thinking. Like people, there’ll be like wrestlers that wrestled for a ‘cup of coffee,’ as they say in WWE, spent the rest of their career on the indie scene doing drugs and now they want to come out, come back and blame Vince for it.
Rob Van Dam Shares Massive Praise For Vince McMahon
“How does that even make sense? And because if they did work for that cup of coffee, Vince, WWE volunteered (I don’t know if they volunteered or if they were told to but anyway) they took the responsibility either way of putting wrestlers through rehab and paying for it if they spent any time in WWE.
“So you got to imagine a lot of the guys spent most of their career outside of WWE and they were probably worse on their destructive habits outside of WWE anyway. Whatever I watch interviews and I and I see everyone try to stick it all on Vince when it’s stuff that I personally don’t think he should be held responsible for, um, he sounds smart to me when he, when he states that, you know?
McMahon announced his retirement last year after four long decades of being in charge of WWE. But earlier this year he returned to the promotion once again and slowly he is taking over the WWE Creative once again. The name of Vince McMahon will be written in golden words forever in the world of professional wrestling.
