I truly feel bad for Shane here, he did everything he could to impress his father and in the end gets screwed over by him.

“I enjoy destroying lives.” ~Vince to Jim Ross.

Amazing how well that quote aged.

[deepaiyer]

Vince mcmahon took a dump on his family's legacy..No pun intended😂😂

[blablablaa]

I think its so interesting that Vince, who betrayed and took over his dad company, was always distrustful of his own kids, because he knew they could do the same to him (and technically, eventually they did with just HHH running WWE now and Vince gone)

[donaldharper]

When I think of Vince McMahon, the one word that comes to me is an old Greek word called hubris. It's an irrepressible pride that Inevitably leads to a fall from which one never recovers.

[caribbeanpharoah]

This is like a Greek tragedy: son overthrew his father, built a empire then burned it down to prevent his children from overthrowing him

[llibmukred]

RIP Jess McMahon (1882-1954). He must be rolling in his grave at what his demented grandson did to the McMahon name.

[Rokxis]

i think shane is so underrated. he can do it all, mic skills, a little wrestling, commentary and had the early visions for whats going on today. the unsung visionary of the mcmahons

[yeahwrestling]

Vince McMahon Jr is the real life Heihachi Mishima

[royshaheer]

That lock box thing Shane mentioned feels like he predicted what happened to Vince now

[tutupshaw]

Vince Sr knew what kind of a person his son was and that's why he didn't want him to have full control of the business. Vince Jr didn't respect the territories, he only cared about himself. His father knew that his son had messed up morals and values. WWF/WWE would have still been successful and could have grown to what it is today without the scandals if Vince Jr had more of his father's and grandfather's respect for others and a real love for the business.

NOW YOU HAVE TO MAKE ONE FOR THE RHODES We have there the whole trilogy of empires of wrestling today. The Samoan Dynasty, the McMahon Empire and the Rhodes Kingdom, all coming to a head from Wrestlemania XL onwards!

[ItsAVolcano]

Vince Sr. may have made his son buyout the company, but he charged him a fraction of the company's real worth. To the point he could pay it off with the profits of operation from 2-3 years. Vince Jr. fully understood this, and still gleefully went back on everything he promised him.

I really love this videos. In 2022 I was taking Ethics in Organization for my Master’s in Economic Crimes and I did my project in the Vince Scandal and when he left WWE (the first time, it was before he returned to sell WWE). It was a unique explaining to my profesor and entire class the world of wrestling so they can understand everything. I actually used your video summary of everything that happened with Vince and some pf your articles as references. So thank you for helping me pass that course with a perfect evaluation and I hope you keep making this kind of videos more often!!!

[Yunglex]

It honestly is no wonder Vince is the person he is when you look at his family history. Abused as child, had a rough relationship with his father. His issues with being an absolute control fiend make sense when you realize he didn't even have much agency over his own life and goals until he was a middle-aged. I wish he had used that energy mlre positively instead of making the lives of his employees anywhere between difficult and a living nightmare.

[missluci]

They disrespected Shane real bad, they owe him an apology

[TedDiabetes]

Stephanie totally knew what was going on, yet still led fans in a "Thank You, Vince" chant.

[ryan]

This series has been amazing. Keep up the great work guys. This has been really great content.

[Hunkzilla]

Justice for Zack Ryder.

Imagine getting buried just for getting over on your own.

[justAuntyJoe]

Just want to shout out the perfect level of restraint, none of the mad cap editing that can happen in the news and the use of subtle music made this genuinely feel like an intimate conversation with a peer.

Phenomenal stuff! Excited for more!
