5 times Vince McMahon savagely criticized WWE Superstars

#2 Vince McMahon takes a shot at Cesaro for "not willing to grab the brass ring"

It's an incredibly rare occasion when Vince McMahon decides to sit down for an interview and spill the beans on major topics surrounding WWE. When Vince McMahon sat down with WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin for an interview, the WWE Universe was beyond excited. During the interview, the WWE Chairman had some serious criticism directed towards his employees, most notably Cesaro.

Vince McMahon stated that much like Stone Cold did in the Attitude Era, Superstars of today aren't willing to grab the brass ring. When Austin asked Vince McMahon why Cesaro never became a major star in WWE, the boss said that it's because The Swiss Superman never grabbed the brass ring. The WWE Universe wasn't happy one bit upon hearing the comments, and neither was Cesaro. He confronted Vince McMahon soon after, and uttered the words, "challenge accepted". It has been a long time since that interview took place, and Cesaro has yet to win a World title in WWE.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
