“Tried to Talk to Her”: Top WWE Official Recalls the Infamous Time When Vince McMahon Tried Giving an Interview Himself but Got Brutally Rejected

Vince McMahon is a huge personality in the pro wrestling business. He very rarely appeared in any interviews unless he needed to promote WWE. However, there was an instance when McMahon’s plead for an interview was rejected. This happened during the infamous steroid allegation timeline for WWE.

Bruce Prichard who is a top official in the company for a long time recently opened up about this time. As per the executive director of RAW and SmackDown, McMahon wanted this interview to happen.

Vince McMahon’s request for a major interview was once rejected 

After ruling the entire pro wrestling business for nearly a decade, WWE found itself in a situation in the early 90s. The company’s reputation suffered a lot when Vince McMahon was slated for a steroid trial. Prichard on the latest episode of Something to Wrestle recalled the prosecutor ignoring to talk with McMahon.

Prichard said, “Vince, we knew the indictment was coming, we just didn’t know when. Vince had actually gone down to the federal prosecutor’s office and tried to talk to her and say, ‘Hey, here I am. Do you want to interview me? You want to ask me questions? You want to talk to me? Let’s do it. I’m standing here right now. Would you please can we set up an appointment? Can we talk now?’”

He added, “And the prosecutor refused to meet with Vince, refused to set up a time and or an appointment to talk to Vince about these alleged charges that they were working up against him. Now, the sheriff’s Buck could go talk to everybody else. But they didn’t want to talk to the guy that they were accusing them of all this sh*t.”

It seems the former CEO of WWE wanted to clear out all the things about the case put on him. Nevertheless, Prichard called it the toughest time in WWE, and yet by keeping a ‘chin-up’ attitude the company survived through it.
