I know what he did and it’s unfortunate that he’s tied everybody’s future to his crimes, not that many of them were much better. I’ve heard a lot of stories about the rapes that were done by wrestlers.
I just think McMahon had a good fortune to find wrestlers that had enlarged personalities and put on a really good show. IMO, I think that wrestling is going to fall closer to its historical levels of popularity, like it was in the 1940’s to 1970’s.
It’s a messed up business. Dudes are doing roids and coke all the time. Probably smoking weed and popping pills for pain from the events. Constantly on the road...
We’ll see what happens. I would be surprised if Endeavor made a poor decision in purchasing WWE.
That's understatement. McMahon raided the talent of other regional wrestling organizations back in the 1980s. Very few wrestlers that built his dynasty were developed by him, including Hulk Hogan, who was developed by Verne Gagne in the AWA.
Pro wrestling organizations had a pact until 1980 that their promoters wouldn't try to go national and raid other organizations of their talent. McMahon, ruthlessly, violated that agreement.
