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.

Jena Sims, the wife of American golf star Brooks Koepka, left little to the imagination with her outfit of choice in a new Instagram post. Sims - a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model - posted a series of photos and videos covering her busy antics in recent weeks. One of them showed her and Koepka dressed for and ready to go to what appears to be a pool party and her outfit of choice was particularly risque. Sims wore a sheer blue cropped top with a red trim and red shorts. But she barely maintained her modesty with a pair of decorative rings stamped across her breasts. The 36-year-old has been married to Koepka since 2022, the same year that the five-time major champion defected to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit. The couple, who were part of the Netflix golf docuseries 'Full Swing', share son Crew, who was born in July 2023. The Sports Illustrated model did a playful dance with Koepka for the social media post They are one of the more glamorous couples in golf and Sims regularly posts bikini-clad photos and updates from their exotic lifestyle. Koepka finished tied for 12th at last week's US Open, having missed the cut at both the Masters and PGA Championship earlier in the season. He owns five major titles, but hasn't finished in the top 10 of one since winning the PGA Championship in 2023 at Oak Hill. His last LIV Golf victory was August of last year. At the US Open, Koepka revealed his coach, Pete Cowan, had recently given him a dressing down in a bunker. '(Justin Thomas) thought he had to come check on me in the bunker. We were in there for about 45 minutes, and he was on the other side of the green,' Koepka said. 'I wasn´t happy with it, but it was something I think you need to hear or I needed to hear at the right time. It´s not the first time he´s done it.'

How business leaders like Jeff Bezos and Mark Cuban feel about work-life balance
Many CEOs and business leaders have shared their thoughts on work-life balance. Some support it while others call it a hindrance to success. Here's what some of the biggest names in business make of work-life balance. How do you juggle your personal life with your work? Just about everyone has an opinion on work-life balance, including CEOs. Some business leaders see it as an important equilibrium to maintain, while some outright hate the idea. Here are some top business execs' takes on work-life balance. Mark Cuban says, "There is no balance" for incredibly ambitious people On a recent episode of "The Playbook," a video series from Sports Illustrated and Entrepreneur, billionaire entrepreneur and former "Shark Tank" star Mark Cuban said, "There is no balance" for the most ambitious people. "People are like, 'I need a work-life balance,'" he said. "If you want to work 9-to-5, you can have work-life balance. If you want to crush the game, whatever game you're in, there's somebody working 24 hours a day to kick your ass." Leon Cooperman encourages young workers to "love what you do," but remember there's more to life than work Billionaire investor and hedge fund manager Leon Cooperman said in a recent interview with Business Insider that there's more to life than hustling. "I've been married 61 years to the same woman," he said, adding that his greatest success in life is that "my kids still come home." "Love what you do — it's too demanding and difficult not to," the Wall Street veteran said. "Pursue it with a passion," he continued. Cooperman said that while he spent 25 years at Goldman Sachs, it never felt like work because he enjoyed it so much. Jeff Bezos says work and life should form a circle, not a "balance" In 2018, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said that workers should aim for work-life harmony, not "balance," at an event hosted by Business Insider's parent company, Axel Springer. Bezos also called the concept of work-life balance "debilitating" because it hints that there's a trade-off. Bezos said that it's not a work-life balance, but "it's actually a circle." Bezos said that if he feels happy at home, then it energizes him and makes him more productive at work, and vice versa. Satya Nadella thinks you should focus on "work-life harmony" Microsoft 's CEO also thinks that "work-life balance" isn't the goal. Instead, he says to focus on work-life "harmony." In 2019, he shared his thoughts with the Australian Financial Review, saying he used to think that he needed to balance relaxing and working. But he's since shifted his approach, aligning his "deep interests" with his work. TIAA's CEO thinks the entire concept is a "lie" "Work-life balance is a lie," TIAA CEO Thasunda Brown Duckett said in a 2023 fireside chat. Brown Duckett has previously said she used to struggle with guilt and balancing her demanding job with being a mother. Brown Duckett says that she views her life as a "portfolio," and that she takes time to perform different roles like mother, wife, and business executive. Though she may not always physically be with her children, she says she strives to be fully present during the time she is able to spend with them. Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt said work-life balance was why Google was behind in AI — then walked back the comments Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt criticized Google's remote work policy and work-life balance during a lecture at Stanford University in 2024, saying these were contributing factors to the company trailing behind startups like OpenAI on artificial intelligence. "Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning," the former Google exec said in a recording of the lecture that was posted online in August. "And the reason the startups work is because the people work like hell." He added that those looking to start successful companies today are "not going to let people work from home and only come in one day a week if you want to compete against the other startups." After his comments gained attention, Schmidt walked back the comments. Arianna Huffington says you shouldn't have to choose between work and life Arianna Huffington, founder of Thrive Global and HuffPost, told Great Place to Work that we shouldn't view productivity and relaxation as two opposing forces. Huffington said that when one area of your life improves, the other does as well. Huffington said employees should focus more on "work-life integration" since "we bring our entire selves to work." Still, Huffington believes that your personal life should always come first. "While work is obviously important and can give us purpose and meaning in our lives, it shouldn't take the place of life," she said. "Work is a part of a thriving life, but life should come first." Don't expect a work-life balance if you work for Elon Musk Elon Musk is a known workaholic, and he expects those who work beneath him to be as well. In 2022, just after Musk took ownership of X, formerly Twitter, he sent out an email to employees telling them to either dedicate their lives to working or leave the company. Musk reportedly made X employees work 84 hours a week. While some people think remote work improved their work-life balance, Musk has often criticized it and called it "morally wrong." According to Walter Isaacson's biography of him, Musk would stay at the office overnight and shower at the YMCA when he joined the workforce in 1995. Musk has continued the habit while working at Tesla and buying Twitter, often spending the night at work. In 2018, Musk said that he works 120 hours a week, amounting to 17 hours a day. Jack Ma has also actively endorsed long work hours One of China's richest men, Alibaba cofounder Jack Ma in 2019 expressed his support for the controversial "996" work system in many Chinese workplaces, which refers to working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. He's called "996" culture a "huge blessing" for younger workers. "Many companies and many people don't have the opportunity to work 996," he said in 2019. "If you don't work 996 when you are young, when can you ever work 996?" "If you find a job you like, the 996 problem does not exist," he added. "If you're not passionate about it, every minute of going to work is a torment."
