Brock Lesnar to Logan Paul: Every WWE Superstar Who Feels Vince McMahon Is a Father to Them

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has built the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. For almost four decades, The Big Man has introduced the wrestling industry to many wrestling legends. These wrestlers came into Vince McMahon’s company as amateur wrestlers, later becoming professional wrestlers and legends. 

However, the relationship between these superstars and The Big Man has not only been limited to Vince McMahon being their boss. Over the recent years, the WWE legends have looked up to Mr. McMahon as a father figure.

The WWE Superstars, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Logan Paul have expressed their views on Vince McMahon being an idol for them.

Brock Lesnar on father-son relation with Vince McMahon

The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar came to Vince McMahon’s company at a very early stage of his life. Even though Lesnar and The Boss may have had an on-screen rivalry on WWE programming, that’s not the case in real life. 

Recently, Brock Lesnar was invited to the Pat McAfee show, and there he revealed his relationship with Mr. McMahon. Lesnar also stated how it was working with UFC President Dana White and Vince McMahon during the conversation.

“I really can’t compare the two guys. Honestly, my relationship with Vince is so different from that it is with Dana White. Over the years, Vince and I have had a love-hate relationship for the last twenty years. But, it’s been good. We got a lot of water under the bridge. I have a lot of respect for both men. But, dealing with Dana it’s just totally different. I met Vince I was younger. I look at Vince more as a father figure because I’ve learned a lot of things from him. I was able to carry those things over and handle business with Dana,” Brock Lesnar mentioned.

It is clear by Lesnar’s statement that Vince McMahon has treated Lesnar like his own child since he came to the WWE. 

Logan Paul appreciates WWE Owner!

The YouTube sensation Logan Paul will soon compete in his first-ever professional wrestling match. At The Stupendous WrestleMania 38, ‘The Maverick’ will team up with The Miz to take on Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio. However, prior to his WrestleMania match, Logan Paul also opened up on his relationship with Mr. McMahon.

In a recent interview with talkSPORT, the YouTuber turned boxer claimed that Vince McMahon is like a step-dad to him.

Logan Paul said, “Vince is like a step-dad to me. Does that even make sense? He’s like the guy you have a good relationship with a firm handshake.”

“He’s welcomed with open arms, and he’s been excited every time I go out there and perform, and yeah, it’s been positive. He’s awesome,” Paul added.

Kurt Angle once appeared on Broken Skull Session with Stone Cold Steve Austin. The WWE Hall of Famer told Steve Austin that he found himself in a father-son relationship with Vince McMahon.

“The good thing about him [Vince] is he not only gave me good advice, but he also treated me well. He’d pull me aside, tell me when I screwed up; he’d correct me. I know he had this with a lot of people, but I felt like a father-son relationship, and I liked it,” Kurt Angle said on Broken Skull Sessions. 

The former World Champion also revealed that he could never say no to Mr. McMahon. He always wanted to make Vince proud and gave everything to the company.
