10 Wild Confessions From Huge Wrestling Stars
1. Two Words
Vince McMahon has two words for you:
No. Get your mind out of the gutter. Those words aren't "Suck it".
Why would you think Vince McMahon would say the words "suck it"?
No, Vince McMahon has two other, different words for you: "public relations".
Upon questioning by the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection, and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in 2007, Vince revealed that he only extends the offer of paid rehabilitation to any past or present independent contractor for the purposes of optics. He does not "feel any sense of responsibility for anyone of whatever their age is who has passed along and has bad habits and overdoses for drugs".
For obvious reasons, he was extremely careful not to admit any culpability for the grim epidemic of untimely death that plagued pro wrestling in the 1990s and 2000s. In doing so, he had to willingly depict himself as a man transparently attempting to clean up his company's rotten public image. It's so beyond twisted that this framed him in a slightly more flattering light.
