10 Most Hated People Behind The Scenes In Wrestling
4. Vince McMahon
Dating all the way back to the days of Bruno Sammartino, wrestlers have had beefs with Vince McMahon. And really, anyone who's been in control of the business for as long as Vince has is bound to be hated by a long list of people. So it's almost out of sheer perseverance and longevity that he finds himself on this list.
It might be easier to list the people involved in this business who don't have a problem with Vince, but here we go.
Vince has been condemned by Kamala as a racist (an accusation backed by a litany of stereotypical "negro" gimmicks), has been called "out of touch" by Jim Ross, Josh Mathews, and Paul Heyman, called a jerk by pretty much every under-carder to step through the curtain, blamed for killing countless pushes prematurely, and even accused of trying to sexually assault Nailz and being implicit in the deaths of multiple wrestlers via drug distribution.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is one hated man.
Road Warrior Hawk, whose real-life drug problems were exploited for a cheap storyline, once said that he didn't want to outlive Vince McMahon because he knew, if he did, he'd do "some terrible things to his grave." He even went so far as to call him "the most evil man I've ever met in my life."
Oh, and apparently there used to be some heat between Vince and Bret Hart...?
