Konnan on: the retirement of Vince McMahon 

FRANCINE talks about a creepy backstage encounter with VINCE MCMAHON ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE---zHekB53TY.html

in a staff email, Vince McMahon shows more personality than Tony Khan ever will.

I'm an AEW fan but sometimes Tony Khan should just keep his mouth shut lol

Billy corgan is actually the longest now lol

Tony Khan will take a cheap shot like that, but when it comes back around to him, people are being "mean."

Just want to say as a wrestling fan how much I appreciate and enjoy K100. Thank you all for sharing your stories and opinions. Unlike most podcasts everyone on the show tells the full story and doesn’t hold back on their opinion.

I got hooked on wrestling during the rock n wrestling angle in 1984. Vince McMahon has been a constant presence in my life for 40 years. It's odd thinking about wrestling without him.

Mr. McMahon..is not perfect,.. but guess what! no one is! .but what he done for this industry is incredible 👏 he mad wwe and made many superstars I'm going to miss him ..I don't care about his personal life. I care about what he did for this industry to keep it alive. Tony can never do that.

I thank Vince for the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras. So many incredible moments and legendary names that came about. Good times.

Gotta give him credit he pushed his father's dream beyond anything

Konnan nailed how I think Vince is setting up the retirement. Really great vid boys. Thanks. And thank you, Vince.

I feel like vince will just lie low for a while and come back when things have cooled down.

Can't wait till Raw on Monday when Disco debuts as the New CEO!!!!!!

Vince McMahon is a legend. Tony Khan is a money mark. That's what the history books will show.

No doubt, Vince McMahon was a pioneer for professional wrestling. The guy is an icon and took the business to new heights. Mr. McMahon was also one of the best on screen personalities of all-time. And he has had moment after moment. Vince’s Attitude era feud with Stone Cold is the stuff of Legends. But… the guy has also been littered with controversy and scandals over the years. That can’t be ignored, and more will certainly come to light with time. The Weinstein Company was responsible for tons of critically acclaimed films, but Harvey Weinstein was still a disgusting pig and sorry excuse for a human. Accolades don’t excuse behaviors. We should be able to recognize both. His incredible accomplishments in wrestling. And his clearly unethical behaviors behind the scenes.

I am 45 years old with very little set aside for retirement at this point. I have always been curious about the stock market and have witnessed some people who played the game right and retired early because they used the stock market. When I ask them, most said that they invested very little to start with, but their portfolio grew. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns

On a day where Vince McMahon retires amid scandal, Tony Khan still finds a way to be the biggest douchebag in the room

If Stephanie and HHH really have the power that Billi has said and Vince is Indeed truly out then that is going to be bad for aew. So much of their roster is made up of guys who are only gone from the WWE because of Vince.

To all the K100 comment section crew, it's been real ✌but the end game has come. Vince goes, I go. I will miss my Lord and savior Vents McMann

Tony Khan has absolutely no class. He's immature and AEW is crumbling down around him. I love to see how he's having a meltdown.

You gota give credit to Vince for what he was able to create within this company. He Essentially made sports entertainment. There were a lot of great story and feuds. But there were also a lot of terrible stories and booking. It was way past his time to retire. Vince had no business running this company and the ratings and creative this past decade showed it. He can retire and and sit back and enjoy life. But now it’s time for wwe to have a “soft reboot” and hopefully we see drastic improvements these next several months with creative and booking of wrestlers. No more pushing the same stars like Roman and Brock or legends like Goldberg and undertaker. Time to make new stars and exciting stories.

Vince McMahon Made Wrestling Great Again.

I've grown up reading and hearing a ton of stories & narratives from various types of individuals. It baffles me writers are still shamelessly trying to leach clicks off Vince McMahon's name value. He's considered a nit picking genius who's directed various memorable life experiences. Gets constantly blamed for shit people he's associated with do. Gets an unhealthy amount of death threats and insults thrown his way for not pandering to entitled individuals/fans. Offers insane 2nd chances to people who'd constantly bury and display pettiness towards him. Has been pretty tame with DMCAs over the years. When everyone is constantly leaching off his product to even smearing a narrative about him and his employees. To the point we got a coined term "knowing Vince" by toxic Observers acting holier than thou. Is actually a true inspirational "from rags to riches" life story. However doesn't really put others down despite being 1 of the richest self made men on the planet. Always lending his talent constructive criticism despite some of them just not being willing to learn or change out of their shells. Squandering his valuable TV time. However still has to shuffle and hurdle almost all his talent's egos & problems. Still offers alumni a staff job because he realizes this is a team effort. Realistically the closest harmony of being professional and personal as a business man. Who introduced entrance themes and cinematic camera cuts the NFL later incorporated. He's offered so many a great pay day or post career option, and fans an escapism. Pat said it best! He's not perfect, but he's a legend! Who's legacy in this industry will out live this very community.

I find it very strange how this all happened. There was that dispute with Stephanie where she left for a week and then comes back. Then the Vince affair thing kicks in ( Not knocking him. Just an observation). Now Vince retires, Stephanie is CEO and chairwoman with Nick Khan and now Triple H is suddenly back

WWE was the only big show that ever came to my part of Canada. They always brought a A+ show to my knowledge and Vince was even at House Shows !! Vince is a fucking legend !!!

Vince is and will always be the face of Pro Wrestling.

Mistakes, there are at minimum 12 allegations. That’s more than just a mistake. I’m a vince fan but I have no issue with how his retirement being framed. We all know the retirement is more due to the recent allegations. It is what it is

I really think it was a straight political, attack job to remove him from the company. And maybe at 77, it was time. I think the story will die now that he’s stepped down.

Imagine Disco on the WWE creative team. “So here’s my idea.” 4 hours later “So,yeah,that’s my idea.” 😅😅😅

Hilarious towards the end how every time Disco tried talking , The others kept interrupting him

thanks you Vince, you're a genius, a legend and wrestling would never be the same without you.

The amount of people who listen to this show, who can't take a joke is amazing. Tony's tweet was obviously a trolling joke. Take a fucking joke people. Ironic you're saying Tony has no class instead of holding Vince accountable for all the classless things he's done. Like maybe go read up on Ashley Massaro incident. Sable sexual assault allegations. He literally paid off people to silence the Jimmy Snuka murder scandal.

Did the "Brock walking out" rumors start before Smackdown? Because if they did I hope everybody who talked about it feels really dumb.

That leaked Vince letter sounds like a rib. 🤣 if it's real, Vince is hilarious.

this may be the lowest point for Tony Khan. How more pathetic can he be? Plus, he wasn't even correct! Hasn't the CEO of AAA been there since 2006?

See this is why you all are marks and got worked by this. Vince still HOLDS 51% shares of the COMPANY. He’s still the guy in the board of directors. He’s still the guy who has to approve everything. It’s his company. Nothing is going to change.

Disney ain’t buying the WWE, it’s going to be NBC. NBC already has the relationship, history and etc, Disney doesn’t need WWE, NBC does and will put the money out

Pro wrestling had many kings but Vince will always be the emperor

Record profits? I'm one of the millions of REAL wrestling fans that feel like we got shafted. Going Global has caused Wrestling to lose the loyal fan. Period.

I hope Stephanie purges that place from any Vince influence..get rid of dunn Pritchard and all his yes men..got to get rid of the cancers before wwe gets better

Sometimes you gotta admit to your mistakes Disco that's what makes you legit when you show your humanity and sorrows. If you ignore it and hide it like it never happen maybe your not sorry at all.

I don't really care if he's slept with some people and paid them to keep quiet, as long as he never used that power to do anything untoward then so what. This guy is responsible for some of the most memorable moments of my childhood and for that I wish him well in his retirement. Tony Khan is an absolute twat.

I dont know if u guys look at the youtube comments but trust me it is not all of us fans out here being obnoxious and constantly rooting for the next guy to fail and rejoicing when somebody falls. I would like to think there is a large portion of us who just don't feel the need to post our thoughts everyday on every platform we can. There's all types of fans out there, yes even polite ones lol The people hating are just louder..

Your response to Kahn’s tweet sounds a little snowflakish lol

Congratulations to Shahid’s entitled little boy…except Billy Corgan actually holds that title since McMahon’s retirement.

Vince McMahon is the man in wrestling thank you vince McMahon

Before anyone gets excited, look at what happened to Star Wars as soon as George Lucas left.

Could it be possible that he still calls the major shots but just doesn't show up anymore

Konnan and Disco are really that delusional that they think they can write and produce a better show than Vince McMahon. It was really pathetic to listen to this for the most part.

He still has the majority of stock so any business deals has to go thru him

In a 2006 affidavit, Massaro said that she was encouraged by Vince McMahon to not report that she was drugged and raped by US Military staff while on a tour of Kuwait for WWE’s annual Tribute to the Troops

Vince McMahon is the wrestling industry. All that other stuff is just rejects doing flips for weird marks.

He'll be back. They always come back.

I think K-Dawg had the same Godfather feeling I did. This is like Don Corleone stepping down

Rape conviction is the wrong wording he wasn’t convicted of anything accused yes convicted no

Great content.. great conversation

Guys like Vince Mcmahon dont retire. They go until they can’t do it anymore or die. Im sure hes sick to his stomach right now that hes been forced out of the company his dad started and that he took to unmatched heights. Unfortunately, Vince let the power corrupt his character and thinking and it cost him going out on his own terms.

Wonder if Konnan can do a show (or even a segment) without mentioning Trump. TDS

Appreciate these opinions since you both have a long history knowing folks within the community Thank you for sharing

Paul Heyman head of creative

I need Billi to report and tell me how real the Brock story was. That sounded like 100 percent work...

You guys did this news story justice… great job, respect 💯

The most underwhelming retirement segment in history. I'm talking about Smackdown Live. Stephanie gave a 2-minute speech, and then forced a "Thank you, Vince" chant bc the fans tried it prior on their own and she shut it down. Vince deserved a goodbye of royal proportions. This "goodbye" was a disgrace 👎🏻 to his legacy to wrestling history. Idc what his legal issues are.

Always fun to hear how Tony Khan embarrasses himself, over and over again. He can't stop. He's more addicted to that than his "coffee".

Disco and Feeney always focus on the negative aspect of something. Instead of just celebrating the career of the guy, Disco immediately brought people trolling on social media, and stooge Feeney backed him up.

Growing up I was a WCW fan but we difenetely went back and fourth on Monday Nights. Vince deserves high praise for sure

But he did retire amid a scandal lol. I think Vince has done more great than wrongs. But he has done fucked up things too. And I think we’ll find out even more bad things that hadn’t come to light at the time. Nevertheless, been a wwe fan since I was 4

If you people choose to celebrate Vince McMahon then I'm going to praise Bill Cosby...

Vince McMahon is the best pro wrestling performer of all time. Most likely they will never be someone who can match his level or be better than him.

Totally agree with Konnan. Vince will still be pulling some strings as far as creative. His daughter is still there, and his son in law is head of creative. They have to respect Vince's vision as long as he's breathing.

RIP Vince...with any luck, you won't catch fed RICO charges.

Unless Vince McMahon sells, I'm not going to buying this retirement thing

If Vince is guilty then he deserves everything that is coming to him. Don't drop the soap......actually he'd probably enjoy that

Vince thinks all drugs are the same. "YOU SMOKE THAT ACID DONT YOU PAL!?"

Konan really doesn't understand how the billionaire CEO in America gets away with so much shit? REALLY? The guy who told you for decades EVERYONE HAS A PRICE? EEsh

Tony Kahn's comments were very tasteless. His product isn't exactly trailblazing or revolutionizing the wrestling world itself, humbleness brings back better karma than being a jerk. Oh and I agree with konan. If hhh can make WWE like the black and gold NXT, that would be a good !!!

Tony Khan is a clown and should show respect to Vinnie Mac someone he will never be or come close! #ThankYouVinceMcmahon If not for him I'd never have came across my favourite wrestler in Eddie Guerrero or a legend like The Undertaker! The man helped make out childhoods that little more awesome.

This is crazy Vince became the one to hold the reigns and Vince changed everything I want Vince back I like Vince K McMahon he literally created Wrestlemania and more without Vince McMahon their would be no attitude era ruthless aggression or new generation without Vince theirs no hogan or Bruno sammartino Vince created parts of the landscape that is WWE

You forgot the ring-boy controversy. Of all the things Vince has done that stands out to me as the worst offense.

With all due respect to Vince McMahon, WWE might actually be watchable again. Hopefully Triple H has some control over creative. NXT was the only WWE show I watched. When that show got cancelled I stopped watching WWE. The company can be soooo much better than it currently is.

Nick Khans PLAN is COMPLETE (now sell the company)

Ironic Triple H gets ushered out, then rumors of Stephanie quitting....next thing you know those two are running the company and Vince's out

Never forget without hulk hogan Vince McMahon is not the promoter he became

Lol Vince Russo "broooo i put VKM in his place bro" wtf ever. What mark believes that.

For the 100th time. The fans don’t give a damn how much money the company is making Disco. The fans care about the quality of the product and it has sucked for a long time. Anytime fans start criticizing Vince and WWE you always steer it towards the financials

OK so do these woman give the money back now? Surely they broke whatever non-disclosure agreement they had with VKM.

Lol, when Disco said "you can make mistakes in your life" regarding Vince lol. If what Vince did recently is true, added to the past accusations against him, they are more then mistakes.

Tony Khan is a child, a giant baby. He wishes he could be Vince McMahon as far as wrestling. Grow up. You didn’t beat Vince not even close and you never would have.

Tired of the bullshit. Europe loves the NFL. Disco aint been overseas in years

Vince should be looked at like the messy human being he is. He did bring wrestling to the mainstream and created stars, but he was also a slimy cutthroat businessman. If you make mistakes then you should be held accountable for the mistakes before you move on; especially if you had the power he did over people. Also Disney makes the best entertainment in the world; wouldn’t be that bad. First couple clips of this podcast I’ve watched, are “marks” a regular topic of conversation?

Vince made WWE a brand even Dusty Rhodes said thats what was different between WCW and WWE was the WWE was a brand like mcdonalds or coke and pepsi

Disney isn't buying WWE they have enough problems right now

Being a good business name is a wildly different than creating a compelling product or show. The man doesn’t have it anymore thanks to Nick Khan and amazing deals they’ve brokered with NBC and the saudis (yuck) he has record profits but it’s the shittiest product that it’s ever been. I am glad he is leaving he got it when he was forced to with Austin, Rock etc but since then he seems to not GAF about his audience

Vince McMahon is not retiring because he hit 77 years of age. He's doing it to alleviate the pressure on himself and the company after the hush money story grew too massive to contain. If anyone thinks we've really seen the last of Vince McMahon though, they're fooling themselves. Can you really see Vince sitting at home retired?! He'd go insane! I say give it a year and when the story dies down and become less prevalent, Vince McMahon will be back in some form. In the meantime, you can bet Stephanie and Triple H will be leaning on Vince when necessary. Vince McMahon will not be gone forever. Not his style!

Disney is losing billions and Disney+ has been losing subscribers and losing money as well. Disney stocks are dropping to under 95 bucks a share and are continuing to drop. They have had over 155 arrests this year for S. Abuse and trafficking alone. Disney is not what you guys think it is now. They are cutting spending as well

What are you guys talking about? Russo left and the Attitude era continued with no problems till Rock and Austin left. Russo left in like 99. The adjustments they did make were due to all the heat they were getting froM parents groups and sponsors.

If what Vince did was wrong and needs to fade away because of it. Then holy shit! Trump should be changing his name and heading out of the country for what's HE'S done!

I wonder if the late Ashley masero had bad interactions with Vince. she accused people of sexual misconduct but never gave out names.

They're acting like vince died lol... he just retired, no reason to act as if he's gone from us forever lol...

Some you marks who talk down on Tony Khan for what he said need to get a life, because some of you need to understand that Vince is much worse he got rid of the competition and he didn't feel bad about it. Vince screwed a bunch of people that worked for him so Vince ain't no saint. He screwed David Schultz after he told him to stay in character and slap that reporter, he didn't want to take responsibility for what happened to Owen Hart why do you guys think Natty and her husband are employed, because they are family to the Hart's, the sexual allegations, even though Vince has his guys that will go thru fire for him they know that he is a dirty individual. We know that Vince made larger than life characters, but it doesn't mean that he was a really good person there people who are going to speak highly of him and some that dont. So good for Tony Khan 👏 and hopefully his company thrives for years to come.
