Matt Hardy On Why Vince McMahon Would Sometimes Give Up On Wrestlers

Vince McMahon ran WWE for decades and he got to hand pick who did and didn’t make it to the top of the industry. At times it seemed that Vince would get behind certain Superstars only for their push to be halted unexpectedly.

Matt Hardy recently discussed Vince McMahon on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast and he noted that Vince saw something special in his brother Jeff. Matt also talked about the reasons why Vince would sometimes give up on someone while explaining that sometimes something simple could change Vince McMahon’s perception of a Superstar.

“I’ve seen him quit on people for having a bad punch, you know, whatever. It’s just, yeah, he’s just so he’s very matter of factly. You know, just like, I see this, I like this person, I got his back. Oh I saw this, it was terrible, get them out of here, fire them, tell him to go home, whatever. I mean, I’ve seen some very erratic conduct. I didn’t want to say erratic behaviour. But I mean, I’ve seen some very erratic conduct in behaviour from Vince as well, when it comes to making decisions like that.

I mean, just if someone rubs him the right way, and he’s like, supportive of that person, usually pretty solidly has their back. You know, you have to do a lot to like, p*ss Vince off if he legitimately likes you.

But there are some people when he’s beginning to form a bond with that there’s just something that, you know, rubs him the wrong way. And he can cut them off right from the beginning, and just like not even give them an opportunity.”
