• Kurt Angle Comments On Vince McMahon’s Retirement
Yesterday, Vince McMahon announced his retirement from WWE with the following tweet:
“At 77, time for me to retire.
Thank you, WWE Universe.
Then. Now. Forever. Together. #WWE #thankful”
Old School Wrestling Legend Dutch Mantell (fka Uncle Zebekiah in the WWF & Zeb Colter in WWE) had the following to say about the timing of Vince’s announcement:
“Now, as I read that, Vince McMahon retired, and I didn’t ever think I would ever hear those words. I think he would have gone until he died.
The stock market closed at 4’o clock. He announced his retirement at 4:05. That means no trades can be made this weekend.
The stock is really not as bad as a lot of people thought it would be because it’s back up. It went to the high, in the mid-60s, in the mid-50s, which is not too bad.”
WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle tweeted the following about Vince’s retirement:
“After winning a gold medal in 1996, I found my 2nd calling because of Vince McMahon…thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity of a lifetime. I Love you Vince. P.S. I’m still Vince’s favorite @steveaustinBSR 😁”
