The former WWE ring announcer gives his thoughts on Vince McMahon’s retirement.
When Vince McMahon retired in July, it sent shockwaves through the pro wrestling industry. Many names came out in support of the former WWE CEO. In a new interview with The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast, Tony said that Vince was always kind to him and he’s never harbored any ill-will towards him. Chimel would also give his thoughts on Vince’s retirement.
“I always had a good relationship with Vince. Vince was always nice to me. Vince never had a problem with me. Vince would always joke around with me and stuff like that and, you know, Vince gave me a career for 38 years. I got no ill will toward Vince or for Vince. He always treated me great and was always nice to me, even, you know, stuck by me when I had an issue with, one of my bosses a long time ago. He stuck with me and stuck up for me, which I really appreciate and am still grateful for that to this day.”
“I do not see Vince sitting on a beach in Florida and not doing anything. He could be retired. That’s fine. You know, I refuse to believe that he’s not having any input in anything in that company, and it’d be interesting to see if he’s still on the payroll or he got a severance package or what goes on with that when you become owner of the company, is he now not owner? Does he not now not own any stock, you know, Does he have nothing to do with the company? Does he not talk about business to Steph or Shane or Hunter or anybody? I don’t, I don’t know about that. I, I that’s his world. That’s his life, that business. He created a great business and he created a great career for me for 38 years. I don’t believe he can be retired or not in the input or not backstage or anything like that. There’s no way I’m believing that he doesn’t have any say or no comments about any of that stuff, or is it getting paid by the company? I don’t know.”
