The Undertaker discussed how Vince McMahon is misunderstood by people while doing an interview on the Bill Simmons podcast. Here is what he had to say:
“I think most people think he’s just this tyrant. He really, and you only get to see it if you’re close to him, like, for years, he’s such a giving person, he really is, he’s a really kind, giving person. He knows how to run business, obviously, but he’s just a genuinely caring and giving person. For years, all the charities that we worked with, there was no publicity about any of it. We worked with Make-A-Wish Foundation for years and you never heard a word about it, because that’s not what he was about. It was from his heart. It’s like Tribute to the Troops, every year, whether it be Iraq or Afghanistan, he was on that plane with us. I don’t think people realize what a big heart that he has and how much he cares about the people around him.”
Taker also thinks that McMahon will never retire and out live him.
“Yeah, he loves it. He loves that product and he loves working out. And his grandkids and his family. He just loves it. He’s 75, and he’s just like the Energizer Bunny. His mom is 99 and was still playing tennis at 97. They got some crazy gene there that the rest of us don’t have. I hope no one is waiting for him to kick so that they can take over because he’s going to be there. He’ll out live me.”
