• Lex Luger On If Vince McMahon Really Doesn’t Have Any Control In WWE Anymore
During an interview with ComicBook, Old School WWF/WCW Legend Lex Luger was asked his thoughts on Vince McMahon’s retirement from WWE from all roles.
Below is what The Narcissist / The Total Package said:
“I think that there’s a lot of really good people in place in the company. Triple H and Stephanie (McMahon), the baton is being passed.
I think he will still, behind the scenes I’m sure, since that’s his daughter and Triple H his son-in-law, I’m sure he will still have some influence and some input as well.”
While Vince is gone from WWE, he is still the majority shareholder in the company.
