The Other side of Vince McMahon?

On the face of it, firing someone so many times can be seen as a very intolerable move. Ross, though, chooses to ignore all of that. Ross spoke up about this on the Money for Mongo fundraiser.

“He’s fired me three or four times, I don’t give a s**t. When he found out I didn’t give a s**t, it made it more fun for him, and he just kept firing me. But here’s the good news: He hired me back. He never hired me back for less money than I was making before I exited. So, he’s always been fair to me in that respect.” He said.

Ross mentioned when WWE moved Monday Night RAW from USA Network to TNN/Spike TV in 2000. He explained how important this move was financially and how Vince McMahon did not deprive him of his fair share.

“So, when all the negative stories about him during that period of time? I ignored them. He [Vince] solidified my financial future over those last few years there, with the stock issues and things of that nature. So, the better we did? The more we got paid, which is a great way to look at it.”
