Vince McMahon’s role in the Attitude era was one that none of us can ever forget. The man has the ability to adapt quickly. Mr. McMahon knows and understands very well what the fans are looking for and he always delivers just that. Although he stepped down as the chairman and CEO in June — Many are questioning whether he has actually left the position. 

The reigns of the company have hence been passed on to Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan. Well, at least on paper. There have been serious allegations by many within WWE that Mr. McMahon will never quite leave the company.

“I personally don’t think he has fully retired. You know Vince, he’s gonna be behind the scenes. Vince is not letting go of that company, he will not let it go until his hands are dead cold and they pry it out of his cold dead hands. He’s not letting go of that company until he dies, and that’s just it,” Angle stated.

Angle later clarified his stance, “I’m not trying to cause any problems for WWE or for Vince McMahon, because I love Vince to death. But there is no way that he is going to let it go.” Angle’s intentions were not to cause any problems or stir up a controversy. He just wanted to state things as they were.

The Olympic gold medalist even added that it was not something he could confirm or deny but strongly suspects. The reason he cited was the fact that the company is in his son-in-law and daughter’s hands — So it could very well be a possibility.
