WWE Fans React To Vince McMahon’s Surprise Retirement Announcement

Vince McMahon called it a career. On Friday, the former WWE Chairman and CEO announced he was stepping down from the company. This comes after WWE investigated McMahon for allegations of sexual misconduct. The 76-year-old allegedly paid $3 million in silent money for an alleged affair with a former employee.

“Over the years, it has been a privilege to help WWE bring you joy, inspire, delight, surprise and always entertain you,” McMahon said in a statement. “I want to thank my family for being a powerful contributor to our success, and I also want to thank all of our past and present Superstars and employees for their dedication and passion for our brand. Most importantly, I want to thank our fans. for allowing us to enter your home every week and be your choice of entertainment. I have the deepest appreciation and admiration for our generations of fans around the world who have loved, currently love and sometimes even love our form of sports entertainment. The news was so surprising to WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar that he reportedly quit WWE SmackDown. But what do WWE fans think of McMahon’s retirement?
