End of an era: Vince McMahon says goodbye to WWE

The end of an era is over: Vince McMahon on Friday resigned from WWE, the company he was fired as CEO after seeing his name embroiled in a bribery scandal for a former employee. The decision of the 76-year-old American businessman was made public through a short post on social media. He wrote, “At 77, it’s time to retire. Thank you WWE Universe. Then. Now. Forever. Together,” he wrote. After 42 years associated with the WWE industry, in which he played many important roles for the growth of the brand on a global level, Vince McMahon left the presidency of the North American company responsible for his daughter Stephanie McMahon. The former “wrestler” took control of WWE on a temporary basis on June 17, when a bribery scandal related to Vince McMahon’s name surfaced. The businessman is suspected of having bribed a former WWE employee with a $3 million (about €2.85 million) “suitcase” so she wouldn’t reveal an alleged affair that might exist between the two.

As I approach 77 years old [celebra-os a 24 de agosto]It’s time for me to step down as WWE’s president and CEO. During all these years, it has been a privilege to help WWE bring you happiness, inspire you, move you, surprise and, above all, entertain you,” the American businessman wrote, in another, more comprehensive statement posted on the official WWE website.

He continued, “I would like to thank all the ‘stars’, past and present employees, for their dedication and passion for our brand. Most importantly, I would like to thank all of our fans for letting us into their homes every week and for being a favorite in the entertainment world. I also leave my deepest gratitude and admiration for generations of fans, in All over the world, who loved, and still love our sport in some scenarios.”

So far, no further information has been released about the future of the company, which at the same time announced the return of Paul Levesque, aka “Triple H”, to resume his duties as “Talent Relations” manager in WWE.

At seventy-seven, it’s time to retire.
Thank you, WWE Universe.
then. Currently. forever. together. #WWE # Thanks
