• Wrestling Legend Says Vince McMahon’s Temper Affected Backstage Morale In WWE

During a recent interview on the Smack Talk podcast, Old School Wrestling Legend Dutch Mantell spoke about Triple H taking over the bookings and the creative process in WWE, after Vince McMahon retired from all of his positions in July.

Dutch stated that Vince’s temper made it difficult for the WWE Writers & Wrestlers to go and talk to their boss.

Here’s what Mantell had to say:

“I did hear that morale of the writing staff in WWE is much higher now. I guess it’s because they are not getting cussed out by Vince! And I think Triple H encourages them and is easy to talk to.

You see Vince, you never know what kind of mood he’s gonna be in. He’s not going to hit anybody, but he had such a mouth, he had such a temper, and I’ve never been on the receiving end of it, but I’ve seen some guys and it’s not fun to watch.”

WWF/WWE fans will remember old School territory wrestler ‘Dirty’ Dutch Mantell as Uncle Zebekiah (WWF), the manager of The Blu Brothers in 1995 and the manager of Justin “Hawk” Bradshaw (later known as JBL) in 1996, as well as Zeb Colter (WWE), where he managed Jack Swagger & Antonio Cesaro in 2013 & 2014 and Alberto Del Rio in 2015.
