Last year WWE went through some major changes when Vince McMahon announced his retirement from the company. McMahon had spent decades of his life running WWE and his retirement received a wide variety of reactions from the professional wrestling community.
During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, The Undertaker revealed that Vince McMahon called him the day before he announced his retirement, and he ended up getting into an argument with McMahon.
“He called me the day before he announced it and we got in an argument because I thought he was ribbing me. I said, ‘There’s no way. There is absolutely no way you’re stepping away.’ He was like, ‘No, this is what I’m going to do.’ I’m like, ‘Why are you [bleeped] with me? This is me.’ We ended up going at it a little bit. Finally, I was like, ‘All right. Okay.’ Sure enough, the next day, Vince resigned, but I knew there’s no way he’d stay away.”
“Even in this role, I think it’s going to be challenging for him. I mean, that’s his baby, man. He’s the one that created this whole thing. I know he wants to make sure these TV deals and everything are done the right way. Right now, that’s his sole motivation, but that’s Vince McMahon. I don’t know. We’ll see where it goes, but a WWE without Vince is, for me, hard to imagine.”
Vince’s retirement sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling world, but ultimately he returned back in January to pursue a sale of the company. It was recently reported by CNBC that WWE will be meeting with potential buyers in April. Stay tuned for updates.
