“You can’t change perception generally when you’re a public persona - so don’t bother”.

That's what McMahon had to say about the way he's presented in today's media. He admitted on the pod that he doesn't like looking into negatives - he actually views each individual one as "a double negative", because they're in a person's head once they start obsessing over it.

As for internet fans, Vinnie Mac called them "a little bit harsh". That's why (and social media will love this) he disregards that hardcore portion of the audience on apps like Twitter and doubles down on a broader picture elsewhere. Oh boy, some fans will have a field day with that bit.

It's ace that McAfee asked McMahon about this at all, to be fair. The host was legit intrigued as to just how much negativity Vince trawls through, if he even trawls through any at all. Spoiler: HE JUST DOESN'T. McMahon doesn't vanity search himself on the Twitter machine then.
