Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon's reputation has taken a huge blow this year. He was accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking, due to which he is currently in a legal battle.
Popular English broadcaster and media personality Piers Morgan recently hosted a live debate where he and his guests discussed McMahon's life, career, and the recent allegations against him. Some of the participants of this debate were ex-WWF star and Youtuber Maven Huffman, ex-World Wrestling Entertainment announcer Jonathan ‘Coach’ Coachman, OutKick broadcaster and ex-World Wrestling Entertainment backstage interviewer Charly Arnolt (fka Charly Caruso) and WWF head writer during the Attitude Era, Vince Russo.
Interestingly, when they were debating whether the 79-year-old should return to the promotion, Charly Arnolt accidentally called Nick Khan, "Tony Khan."
"Why would he come back? Because WWE is doing so well without him. They're breaking attendance records. They're selling record numbers of merch. They're building up stars like they've never before.....if you see the direction the company is going in. They are bringing in people that never really had any business in the wrestling industry. I mean, you have Tony Khan, a former entertainment agent who is now running the show over at the WWE side," said Charly Arnolt. [From 41:36 to 42:51]
Former WWE star Matt Hardy on the Vince McMahon controversy
Matt Hardy won numerous championships in World Wrestling Entertainment like the Tag Team Championships, the ECW Championship, the WWE United States Championship, and more. He is currently signed to TNA Wrestling. Furthermore, he shares his thoughts on the Extreme Life podcast. In a recent episode, he discussed his complicated feelings towards his former boss.
"It makes me feel very conflicted about Vince. It’s one of those things where you wish you didn’t have to feel in such a negative way towards someone, but there’s a part of you that’s going to feel that negative way because these accusations are so strong." [H/T WrestlingNews.co]
Matt Hardy and his brother Jeff Hardly were signed to AEW from 2020 to 2024.
