62-Year-Old Legend Reveals Why He Has Been Ignoring WWE Programming for the Last 30 Years: “I Had a Falling Out With Vince McMahon”

Vince McMahon has controlled the workings of WWE for a good amount of time being its chairman. It is safe to say that during all these years, the pro wrestlers of the promotion have experienced both his wrath as well as his love and care. However, a former WWE star had a not-so-pleasurable experience with him, which then gave a shocking result. 

Over the years, uncountable stories came up that showed wrestlers locking horns with the executive chairman of WWE. Whatsoever the reason was, the repercussions of it have not gone to an extent that happened in the case of Jacques Rougeau. The Canadian wrestler recently revealed the reason for turning his back on WWE for the last 30 years.

Speaking on the latest exclusive for WrestlingNews.co, popular WWF superstar, The Mountie opened up about a fierce incident from the past, involving ‘The Evil Genius’. He commented on the incident and its aftermath. He said, “Thirty-some years ago, I had a falling out with Vince McMahon, you know, a very big disagreement and I turned my back on everything in WWE. In the last 30 years, I have not watched one wrestling show in 30 years, so I don’t know the talent.”

The former superstar straightaway labeled The Boss as the reason behind him turning on the promotion he was widely known for. It must be shocking to you as well how can a wrestler not follow the work of the world’s largest professional wrestling company. But it is what it is. 

Now, the anger within the former WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion has risen to the mark that he does not even want to see WWF or McMahon. “I just have a personal feeling when I see WWF or Vince. I just want to get away from that,” the 62-year-old added.

As per the WWE legend, all of this happened at WrestleMania X when he along with his tag-team partner Pierre Ouellet, were supposed to defeat ‘Men on a Mission’ clean. Since they were getting beaten up in WWF/WWE, it was McMahon who assured them of their big win at WrestleMania X.
