Not everyone turned on Vince McMahon— WWE Stars still praise him amid allegations!
विंस मैकमोहन Vince McMahon is gone from WWE , but not forgotten by those who are still close to him. Vince McMahon became one of the most prominent figures in the business world. His most notable achievement was transforming a regional wrestling promotion he bought from his father into a global giant we know today as WWE. However, he left the company in 2024 after major allegations by former employee Janel Grant. Despite the seriousness of the issue, there are reportedly many within the industry who have not changed their opinion about McMahon to this date. What is the perception about Vince McMahon among those he worked closely with? Sports Illustrated journalist Justin Barrasso recently reported on McMahon's perspective within the wrestling industry. According to him, the former WWE Chairman and CEO is still in high regard among wrestlers who possibly worked with him during his time as the company's frontrunner. He said, 'Speaking with wrestlers off-the-record, there is a great deal of support for McMahon, as many note that McMahon is still held in high regard.' Vince McMahon's reputation did take a hit after the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant became public. Despite that, superstars like John Cena , Natalya, Carmella, and others spoke highly of the boss and credited him for their success in the wrestling business. Elsewhere, McMahon has been busy setting up his new company, '14th&I..' Barasso in the same report also stated that fans should not expect it to produce scripted content. 'Those with inside knowledge are not sold on the idea that McMahon's investment firm, 14TH & I, is going to suddenly develop television shows or movies, a process that generally takes years to materialize' , said Barasso. Moreover, there have been heavy rumors circulating about McMahon possibly looking to purchase WWE's partner promotion, TNA Wrestling, which signed a multi-year deal with the Stamford-based company this year for talent exchanges and crossover matches. Regarding his lawsuit against Janel Grant, the former WWE Chairman is still under federal investigation. Despite being distanced by WWE's parent company, TKO Group Holdings, Vince McMahon looks to be commanding major respect for his contributions to the world of professional wrestling.
