A former WWE star revealed a surprising thing he loved about Vince McMahon. The 80-year-old used to be the company's CEO but resigned after a lawsuit from former WWE employee Janel Grant came to light.
Speaking on TMZ's Inside the Ring podcast, Matt Riddle praised Vince McMahon for sticking with his plans and not adjusting due to the crowd's response. Riddle suggested that Triple H and AEW president Tony Khan try to cater to wrestling fans too much.
“You have to, if you give them everything that they want, you give them that dream match tomorrow, what are they going to tune into next week? I felt like Vince did a very good job with that a lot of the time, because he wouldn’t just give people what they wanted. I feel like Triple H bends a little more. Tony [Khan] definitely bends a lot," said Matt Riddle. [H/T: Wrestling News]
