WWE Hall of Famer claims Vince McMahon was the best person he ever met in wrestling

A WWE legend recently stated that Vince McMahon was the best person he had ever met in wrestling. Mr. McMahon used to be the CEO of WWE but resigned from the promotion after allegations from Janel Grant were made public.

Speaking on the Road Trip After Hours podcast with Mac Davis, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long suggested that Vince McMahon was the best person he got to work with in the wrestling business and noted that he got close to him over the years. Long added that he would be in meetings with Mr. McMahon and The Undertaker, and he felt lucky to have that opportunity.

“I’d say Vince McMahon—I’d have to say that first—because I was able to get a chance to work close to him, and that’s something that everybody doesn’t have the opportunity to do. I would sit down with him in meetings, and it was just me, him, and Taker, or me, him, and somebody else. And he didn’t do that with everybody. So I consider myself really lucky. And for him to put me in that position, you know what I mean, I consider him one of the best people," he said. [H/T: No DQ]

Former WWE writer comments on the differences between Triple H and Vince McMahon as a booker

Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently compared Vince McMahon and Triple H as bookers.

Speaking on Writing with Russo, the veteran pointed out that Triple H hugs everyone on WWE Unreal on Netflix and complimented the talent in the promotion. Russo shared that McMahon was the opposite and was always looking for things to criticize.

"Guys, if you want to really see Triple H behind the scenes, watch the Unreal. This is the guy hugging everybody after their matches, forehead against forehead, how great and how wonderful you are. Bro, Vince was always cracking the whip, man. If you had a five-star match out there, he's going to point out the one thing he didn't like because, you know, he wants to get more out of you. That really made a huge difference, bro, across the board," Russo said.

Vince McMahon celebrated his 80th birthday earlier this year, and several major stars reportedly attended the event in New York City.
