Paul Wight On Vince McMahon’s Reaction To The Creation Of AEW – ‘He’s Pissed’

During an appearance on the “Inside the Ropes” podcast, Paul Wight revealed that while Vince McMahon was likely angry about the creation of AEW, he loves the competition. He said,

“Oh, well, I think he’s pissed. I think he’s absolutely pissed, but he’s pissed in a good way. He’s the type that likes competition. He likes that challenge. Vince [has] very much animal, jungle-type mentality. Vince is a guy that thrives on competition or thrives on doing new things, thrives on being the best in his mind at what he does, so when you know competition steps up, that fires Vince up more than anything. The worst thing that can happen to Vince McMahon is to be bored, monotonous, you know? If he’s got competition, it fires him up to be better, which is a win for the fans because they’ll get a better product, and it’s good for us because we produce a better product, too.“
