While Vince may have temporarily ceded C-Suite authority, WWE confirmed in a corporate release that he will retain creative control of all programming
More recently, he came out unscathed after ex-wrestler Ashley Massaro accused him of negligence for failing to take action afterby a military doctor as part of a WWE tour of armed-forces bases. Massaro tragically died by suicide in 2019.
In a detail that seems to have been brushed over, McMahon even hinted at culpability since the news of his latest alleged indiscretion broke, offeringthat he has “pledged my complete cooperation to the investigation by the Special Committee, and I will do everything possible to support the investigation. I have also pledged to accept the findings and outcome of the investigation, whatever they are.
Those words betray the brazenness of someone who may have lost the confidence and respect of a segment of viewers and even stakeholders, but still owns a majority of controlling shares in the company he’s overseen for 40 years. And that confidence helps clarify how someone under this kind of scrutiny in a post-#MeToo culture can so comfortably reassume a thinly veiled persona he concocted when WWE was on the ropes against serious competition a quarter-century ago.
