Released WWE Superstar Says Vince McMahon Was His Best Friend

Vince McMahon is one of the most infamous people currently working in the professional wrestling industry, and there have been a lot of stories about the Chairman of the Board that have surfaced over the years.

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Lio Rush was released from his contract earlier this year, but it appears that Rush had a good relationship with Vince when he was working on Monday Night Raw.

Rush spoke to Wrestling Inc. about working with Vince McMahon, and Rush noted that he thinks Vince was his best friend when he was on the main roster.

“My relationship with Vince was great. I think he was my best friend when I was on RAW. [I was] probably closer to Vince than I was with Bobby. I was in his office every day. Every Monday, I was in his office. We were always talking about what was next or what he wanted to see from me to make my character elevate Bobby more.

“I think that that was plain as day. I wouldn’t have had all of those segments on RAW if I wasn’t likeable by Vince. That was his baby right there, that pairing between me and Bobby and doing the stuff with Lashley and the pointing at the ass. All of that was Vince.”
