Vince McMahon recently resigned from his position at TKO Group after a lawsuit from former WWE employee Janel Grant accused him of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and more. WWE and John Laurinaitis are also named as defendants in the lawsuit.
On a recent edition of his “1 Of A Kind” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam reacted to the allegations against his former boss.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the allegations against Vince McMahon: “I still probably haven’t seen all the pieces. From what I saw, it was pretty shocking. I can’t imagine the Vince McMahon that I know speaking like the person that texted those messages. It seemed like it was coming from a depraved 17-year-old or something. My first thought was, ‘Come on, Vince really said all that?’ I know the belief is that they can prove it and that it’s legitimate and credible sources.”
On why he’s bewildered by the situation: “It just leaves me a little bewildered. I can’t imagine that. It makes me wonder, billionaires that are world leaders, what do they do for fun? You see these movies where they let people out in the woods and hunt them down and shoot them, like a rich people’s game. If any of this stuff is based on some truth, I make the comparison there, someone that has such a hunger for power that they need to control someone. That’s about Vince. I can’t say anyone else mentioned would surprise me quite as much.”
