Vince McMahon had been ruling WWE with an iron grip since 1982. McMahon and his wife Linda bought the company from his father, Vincent J. McMahon, and turned it into the sports and entertainment juggernaut it is today.
The 77-year-old announced on Friday he was stepping away from the business. Vince also relinquished his title as the head of WWE Creative, but didn’t name a successor to the position.
Vince, however, did name Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan as co-CEO’s in a document he sent to all company employees. WWE also held an emergency meeting to discuss the post-Vince scenario.
The iconic promoter sent out an internal memo to all WWE employees wherein he talked about his retirement decision. Vince asked all WWE performers to carry on with the same dedication.
Fans and wrestlers took to Twitter and shared their two cents on what is arguably the biggest news to come out of the pro wrestling world in modern times. Check out some of the reactions below.
