The recent departure of Vince McMahon from WWE has left a significant void in the company, and it appears that his legacy is being systematically erased from the organization. According to former WWE head writer Vince Russo, the company has completely removed any mention or respect for the former CEO, effectively erasing him from history.
Russo made the claim on the latest episode of Legion of RAW, citing the lack of mention of McMahon during broadcasts and the company’s pivot towards a new era. This comes on the heels of McMahon’s resignation from the TKO board of directors following allegations of misconduct and sexual harassment by ex-WWE employee Janel Grant.
Russo also suggested that commentator Michael Cole may be pleased with McMahon’s departure, stating that the former boss was “a lunatic in their air” during commentary. This comment has sparked debate among fans, with some arguing that McMahon’s exit was necessary for the company’s growth, while others feel that his legacy should be preserved.
The erasure of McMahon’s legacy is a deliberate move, as evidenced by his recent liquidation of TKO shares and the lack of mention during broadcasts. It remains to be seen whether the company will revisit his achievements in the coming months or if this marks the end of his association with WWE.
Russo’s comments have sparked a heated discussion among wrestling enthusiasts, with many wondering what this means for WWE’s future. As the company embarks on a new era, it’s clear that the absence of Vince McMahon will be felt. Whether his legacy will be revisited or forgotten remains to be seen.
