Vince McMahon’s Former Business Partner Discusses His Appearance On SmackDown: “He Wanted Them To Know I Did All This For You”

The wrestling industry considers Vince McMahon a certified genius. His business practices in the wrestling industry are unmatched when it comes to other bookers over the years. Not only has he been working in this business for about 5 decades now, but the man is also the definition of professional wrestling.

Vince changed the wrestling business from the inside out when he went above and beyond to end the territorial wrestling shows. His entrepreneurial skills helped bring wrestling to pop culture in the ’80s and ’90s. And now he is being called a psychologist by a former business partner.

On his podcast, Jim Cornette Experience, the former WWE celebrity commented, “For the fans personally, he [Vince McMahon] wanted them to know ‘I did all this for you and they’re tryna bring me down’ and he’s very very good at it. He’s a psychologist. You can’t say he’s not. He has, somehow, managed to make people believe a number of things. And people over the years were much more entertaining than they were. He’s a psychologist.”

Vince McMahon‘s experience with any crowd is insurmountable. Even before his arrival in the ring, the entire audience present there was singing his theme music as he walked down the ramp. His speech of ‘Then, Now, Forever, and Together’ made a lot of Twitter fans angry but it drew the most fans to SmackDown in a long time.
