Vince McMahon competed in a match against Stephanie McMahon several years ago, and the former choked out his own daughter during the match. A former WWE writer reacted to the reason behind this.
Vince Russo is the latest to comment on a bizarre storyline featuring Vince and Stephanie McMahon. During his time as an onscreen character, McMahon feuded with some of the top stars, like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. No one was spared from his wrath, including his own daughter.
Vince McMahon once had a heated feud with Stephanie McMahon in 2003. This feud took place around the time of Stephanie’s marriage to Triple H and culminated in an “I Quit” Loser Gets Fired match at WWE No Mercy 2003. Vince won the match after choking out his daughter.
During the recently released Netflix documentary on Vince McMahon’s life, it was revealed that the former chairman wanted his daughter to get married live at a premium live event, but she rejected the idea. This resulted in the above match taking place between both of them just before her wedding.
Speaking to Dr. Chris Featherstone on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Writing with Russo, Vince Russo reacted to the storyline and the reason behind it.
“Bro, that’s insanity man.”
Bill Apter says he does not believe one important detail about the Vince McMahon documentary
The Vince McMahon documentary covered the controversial life of the former chairman. It also highlighted how Vince bought WWE from his father and slowly expanded the business to other territories. While Vince’s father wasn’t on board with the idea initially, he changed his mind later.
On Sportskeeda’s UnSKripted, Bill Apter said that he does not believe Vince’s father would’ve been okay with his son moving into the other territories since he valued his friendship with the other promoters.
“One of the parts that bothered me because of how I knew Vince Sr. was that towards the end of his life, there was a quote from Vince Jr. that said that you know after a while, regarding him taking over the territories, Junior, that his father said kind of ‘eff em all.’ I don’t believe that at all. I do not believe that. His father was very close with Sam Muchnick, with Eddie Graham, and so many of the other promoters. They had their own clique, so to say, and his father really valued the friendships.” [6:17 onwards]
Vince McMahon’s visionary idea to expand the business into other territories changed the landscape of professional wrestling.
