• Legendary WWF Promoter Celebrates His Birthday

Legendary WWF Promoter “Mr.” Vince McMahon Jr. (Vincent Kennedy McMahon) celebrates his 75th birthday.

In 1969, Vincent Kennedy McMahon took the job of an announcer for the World Wide Wrestling Federation, where his father Vincent J. McMahon was the promoter.

Vince Jr. eventually became the promoter of the – now renamed – World Wrestling Federation in 1982, when Vince Sr. gave him the company.

Under the new leader (with a lot of help from his #1 Star Hulk Hogan), the promotion went national and later even international, and changed professional wrestling forever by turning a small regional attraction into a world wide phenomenon.

Mr. McMahon is the father of Shane McMahon & Stephanie McMahon, as well as the father-in-law of WWF Legend “The Game” Triple H.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VINCE MCMAHON!

• Jim Ross Reacts To WWE Editing Out His Commentary On Old WWF Shows

On the latest edition of Grilling JR, WWE Hall Of Famer and AEW commentator, Jim Ross, discussed WWE editing his commentary out of several clips on the WWE Network.

Ross wasn’t happy about it and said:

“I smile in a wiseass way when I watch stuff on WWE and they’ve gone back and edited out all of my commentary on a lot of things. That’s a lot of work for what it’s for. Who gives a sh*t, who cares?

I don’t understand that. How do you do some of [Stone Cold Steve Austin’s] great moments and some of these other guys without using the sound bits that the company told? Well, he’s with [AEW] now. That tells me AEW’s existence is very prominent in WWE. We’re not going to put them out of business. I don’t even know if it’s really a war.”
