Talking about a legend of the business, Vince McMahon has definitely attained the status, but his long list of achievements is also accompanied by baggage of controversy. One such video is resurfacing where Vince McMahon, during an interview, is seen passing some brutal comments about some of the biggest WWE legends.
Without any context, the video looks like Vince is trying to defame legends such as Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior, who have been crucial pillars in building WWF. But this isn’t the first time he’s done this, as he recently claimed there is a lack of ambition in the WWE locker room these days.
Vince McMahon bashed stars like Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, and Kevin Nash
Talking about the early pillars of WWF, Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan played very critical roles, along with stars like Bruno Sammartino, who holds the record for being the longest-reigning champion of the company. It presents quite a contrary image as the boss of the company is bashing them left, right, and center. The comments go as follows:
– Ultimate Warrior: Lunatic
– Eric Bischoff: Don’t know him that well. By reputation…not a nice man.
– Hollywood Hogan: Not as big as he thinks he is
– Hulk Hogan: The same
– Bruno Sammartino: A confused individual probably suffering from dementia
– Rick Rude: Someone who would like to be in this era and performing with the greats and unfortunately can’t.
– Jesse Ventura: Overrated at the time and still confused about his place in history
– Kevin Nash: A very fortunate individual that someone saw his talent and gave him the opportunity to be.
It would be unfair to pass any judgment without knowing the entire context, but Vince should have been a bit more sensitive about the comments and could have been a bit softer. Plus, with all the charges Vince McMahon is facing, this does seem like an out-of-character fit for him.

Fans aren’t loving this side of Vince McMahon
Despite giving fans something to talk about, fans aren’t loving this attitude of Vince. At the end of the day, these stars defined the childhood of many fans, and the WWE Universe isn’t happy about the comments. This is evident from the remarks they are leaving, such as “Bro said everyone sucks but me” and “Vince McMahon: Worst Boss in the universe.”
He has quite a bad reputation. He has been ruthless at times, just for instance, Vince fired CM Punk on his wedding day. Plus, providing wrestlers with bad working conditions and no control over the creative aspects of events, he doesn’t really have the best image.
