Vince McMahon retired from WWE a few weeks ago, but his retirement still is, and likely will be a very hot topic in the world for professional wrestling for the foreseeable future.
Chris Jericho and Dave Meltzer recently discussed Vince McMahon’s retirement on an episode of Talk Is Jericho, and the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion explained why he was surprise that Vince actually stepped down.
“40 years plus of wrestling and Vince McMahon synonymous and then done, that quick. Boom, gone,” Jericho said. “And it really did surprise me because, once again, maybe because you and I live within kind of the wrestling bubble where it’s like, ‘It’s just wrestling. Nobody in the corporate world takes wrestling history. He beat the government, and he’s been through this scandal, and he’s been through that scandal, and this one will just go away.’ I was really thinking for a while that it was just going to be kind of a flash in the pan, and Vince would make it disappear like he did everything else.”
Chris Jericho will be action later this week when he challenges interim AEW World Champion Jon Moxley for his title. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
