This American Work: Vince's in the Hospital

Hi, everybody. It's Jack from the Lapsed Fan and we intended on bringing
you, of course, bunk House Stampede nineteen eighty eight this week on the
program as a follow on to our Royal Rumble at nineteen eighty eight episode Fear
not, that episode is still very much coming your way next week. But
the reason we had to put affairs on hold is a simple one. We
received an urgent dispatch unexpectedly here at tlf h Q from one Nasal Gas,
who, of course has been in communicado for months and months now ever since
WWE founder Vince McMahon sort of returned to the seat of influence at the WWE
and therefore wasn't as available as a Nasal Gas expected him to be in this
faux retirement as it turned out to be, you know, for a consistent
round of interviews. So whenever Nasal is able to get through it events,
and from what I understand he tries them just about daily, we're obliged to
set aside some time carve out some space. We saw many requests for it
on Twitter, so we were when the news came into our inbox that in
fact, Nasal has made contact with w w E chairman Vince McMahon or former
chairman Vince McMahon, And it turns out to be a very very interesting time
for Vince. He has a way of popping his head up when he's got
something to say, as opposed to subjecting himself to the latest round of biographical
interviews that This American Work initially looked to corner him into last year. But
listen closely as we will as we share with you the latest conversation that nasal
Gas was able to wrangle over the telephone with Vince McMahon from WTLF and the
Lapsed Entertainment Group. It's this American Work, one McMahon's story told week by
week. I'm nasel Gas. Hello, Hello, did you pick up?
What's uh? I would like a I got a large, large record,
a large papperoni with maybe some sausage and peppers and onions. And how about
a Caesar salad would be great? Is that events? Would that be Evincement
band salad? Vance? It's nasal Gas. Are you working at Pizza Hut?
Now? Yeah? Well what's that mean? Uh? I mean I
called you, but I get perhaps it was at the same time you intended
on making a pizza order maybe what I started to have a lot of things
to ask Evince, and I'm just gonna go for it because who knows when
the next time is. I'll raise you this way. You know, it
sounds that sounds very good. I mean the internet has been a buzz that
you underwent some serious spinal surgery. How are you doing well? I'm doing
all right. I'm actually down in uh I'm done in Florida at the Laser
Spine Institute. And you know, you know, I had a procedure done
that you know, uh, they I was trying to avoid getting you know,
actual fusion surgery done. So I heard this was the best option.
Oh are you getting those them? What are you getting that that thing where
they carve out a piece of the bone and try to relieve the pressure instead
of just fusing that. Yeah, yeah, something like bad. I believe
that that that you know, couple under a lot of pressure lately, and
so they said this would relieve it. As it is it working well,
you know, it's I'm still you know there no, to be quite honest,
it felt okay at the beginning, but now all of a sudden,
I feel like, I don't know, they said they're gonna have me do
it, like another round of that maybe at some point, let me guess
they you realize the pain started to return after the drugs were off pretty much.
And I've been talking to doctor Ariba and he said, he said that,
you know, I said, I said, I said, Areba,
give me, you know, give me as many drugs as as you can
give me. I won't I won't get addicted to them. Just keep giving
me. I don't need to not be on drugs to to you know,
being on drugs is going to be the thing that that you know, Uh,
he pushes me forward than I don't. I don't care. I have
no addiction issues, But you have to push forward to achieve I mean,
what's the urgency. Well, I mean we're in a state of achievement,
you know, we are, and we we we we have endeavors to pursue
in in in the entertainment business. That's needless to say. So who put
you up to Laser Spine Institute. It wasn't Hew Cogan, was it?
Uh? No? Well, may you know it might have been actually,
you know what I think it might have been. I think it might have
been uh, Stephanie, Stephanie not Stephanie, what's it, Linda? Linda
is Linda? I wish Linda we talking about here? What? But who
are you talking to? Mam wondering who suggested lasers? I don't know if
you know, but what I asked if Hulk Cogan put you up to it,
because Hulk actually sued them and got to apparently a settlement out of them
for claiming that they you know, we're doing several rounds of non invasive back
surgeries that are just weren't being effective and so okay, So what you're saying
is that I could potentially not have to pay for this stuff. I'll get
reimbursed him some way. That's one way to look at it. I mean,
you're certainly in reimburse the company mode these days. But now, I
mean, I wonder if you entertain the possibility that Hulk Cogan may have purposely
given you bad advices. The only thing I entertainment is the w t B
fans. So you're feeling okay, yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm
doing Yeah. It's it's uh, it's a process, the the and I
was really looking forward to a Pepperoni pizza. What's the prognosis? When do
you expect to be able to walk around normally. I mean, let's be
honest, I've been walking around normal, just fine. I've been able to
to fornicate. Several of the nurses have been very pleasurable and accepting of my
proposals. And I have been able to rise up to the occasion, so
to speak. And and certainly I've been able to stand on my feet and
plow from behind. So I think I think I'm doing all right. When
you say they've been open and amenable to several of your proposals, I wonder
if you can have listeners just kind of take take them into that moment.
I mean, what do you say, what do they say? How does
it tend to play out? I say, listen, I'm a man who
has needs. You are a woman. I presume you have needs. I
would like to fulfill your needs. I'm I'm a very I'm a giving giving
you know, I like to give sexually and pleasure, and and I say,
and they will say, okay, well that's very interesting, and I'm
like nice and that. Notwithstanding, here is a non disclosure agreement and a
payment of three million dollars to keep this to yourself so that your employers don't
take it out on you. Yeah, and for folks they might not be
familiar with that line of reasoning. We've heard it before from you on this
American work. Is it regards the allegations you're facing when you say not have
your employer take it out on them. I think a lot of people still
don't understand what the fuck you're talking about when you say that, if you
please, I'm I'm I'm giving them. I mean, let's put it this
way. What's let's go consider the fact that perhaps you know a nurse and
this facility, in this medical facility, may maybe one of the doctors is
says, you know what you've been, I've seen you. You've been fucking
vinsic. Man, You're fired. And I say, all right, then
what are they going to do? You know, they now have you know,
they have no employment because of me, And so at least I've given
them three million dollars to not say whether or not they have fornicated with me,
enjoyed and accepted my my bodily fluids into theirs, and therefore, unquestionably
now they have at least something to rest on in the case that they are
unable to find future endeavors in the employment line. And it remains your contention
that that is all all that was ever behind the I believe approximate twelve million
dollars in payments that you reindorse the company. There. Maybe there are rumors
around about me, but I am a decent individual and I'm only thinking of
others when I'm thinking of myself. And all of these instances that investigators apparently
are alleging that you, you know, sort of took advantage of your position
of Oh, I don't want listen, I want putting instead of Joe,
for the love of Christ, talk to Paul or Nick, somebody I can
get the fucking pudding. Shut up and give me my fucking pudding. Or
I'm gonna get out of this fucking bed and I'm gonna kick your ass.
Yeah, fuck you. So it remains your position, Vince, that you
were giving pleasure, not getting pleasure. I Well, the beauty of it
is that I get pleasure in giving pleasure. Well, yeah, the beauty
have an indeed, so do you expect to Well why did you Why do
you think you needed the surgery? We remember way back in nineteen ninety four
when you were on trial you famously had neck surgery and walked into the court
with a neck brace on, and the time is particularly finealing because it wasn't
like, you know, you were doing anything physical. I guess subsequent to
that, you've we've certainly seen you take a lot of physical risks in the
ww ring once you became an on screen character in that way, Why did
you need the surgery in your spine? Well, you know, they're they're
uh, Well, if I'm going to be completely honest, and I believe
you've got me in a very interesting position because I am woozy and being in
a post operational that is that honestly, I was thinking to myself, well,
you know, there's an opportunity or that there is certainly a chance,
a possible development in the near future that I may have to again stand in
front of the government, the federal government, and stand in front of my
government, and and and you know, stand trial and be attempted by the
the the the federals to to take what's mine, to destroy a self made
man, and for the pleasure of the the of of of you know,
the swamp that is the American politics. And so I thought maybe it would
maybe leverage the jury. More to my side, if I came in with
some kind of a recovering injury, you scheduled this surgery because you thought you
were gonna have to walk into a courtroom again and you needed the sympathy.
Is that what you just said? What I said was neither here nor there?
Okay? So I mean, if I'm hearing and reading the reports right
now, details are sketchy, but hearing you talk and stuff and that you
can find to it. Bet, I don't know, it doesn't sound like
one. You can walk around very well. And I mean, are we
going to see Vince McMahon be able to walk in with a neck brace like
ninety four whenever that trial date comes, or might you see something different?
The intention we're hoping is that I get to walk, I get to grow
in a wheelchair. Two again, falsify sympathy towards myself in an attempt to
defraud the public and and the FDA and the FDA. I am on drugs
right now, the ones that have been prescribed to me here. What do
you want? If I may ask, you know, I don't know.
Offul comes in and just usually takes a needle and inject me with something.
Who does feel better? Who does that off and annoy you an awful annoy?
Yeah he was at your trial, right, Yes, he he was.
He was a lieutenant of mine at the time. Too attempt to intimidate
the jury if the neck brace didn't work. I mean, I that's it.
In midfence, I see a possibility that not only do you not walk
into that courtroom, but actually will you went into journey and you're flatting your
back the whole proceeding looking at the ceiling. I mean that works too,
you know, like and I believe that that that that projects the appropriate amount
of sympathetic endeavoring towards my side of the case. I forgot to ask earlier
when you were describing your coitus with the nurses and whose care you find yourself
when it when you're I was gonna ask, when you're about to climax,
where do your climax? Because it sounds like your condition would make it difficult
to have any options. You know, That's the thing. I mean again,
it doesn't sound like a very based on what I'm untiling, but I've
been able to stand up. So there's been there's been you know, ejaculation
and the vaginal, anal and uh oral orifices for sure, as well as
as well as dropping loads on their tits. M m hm hm. Have
you talked to how do you talk to Linda? Do you do you talk
to Linda while this is happening. I don't talk to Linda Hogan at all.
No, No, I menture, well, we're supposed to say your
wife Linda McMahon. Oh, well, do you everything about colin her when
you were involved in some of the activity we were just describing. I do.
Actually I think about calling her and letting her know that I'm doing this.
I wonder what that would feel like on my end, if it would
feel good, or if I'd feel deplorable as a human being. But I
consider Linda to be my wife, and you know, we've we've we've certainly
had some rough years and some good years, and some years where things were
on a different level of of of intelligencia of sorts. And therefore we have
been through the ringer, if you will, and I believe that there the
that there's always a positive outcome, no matter how big the tragedy is.
Has she come to visit you at all since this surgery? I don't know.
I don't remember a lot. I probably won't remember this in about five
minutes. Better take advantage then, So what's been your involvement in creative affairs?
It's been noted that since word has come out that you know, you've
made reference to it, we're of course going to talk about it as search
warrant was executed on your residence by federal officials. And at the same time
that word comes out, the word comes out that you want to win this
this surgery. Yes, are you going to play dumb about the search warrant?
Who searched? I read the following from CNBC dot com. But before
I do, let me close the loop in the question I was asking.
You know, with all that going on, folks have noted, you know,
some minor changes that the WWB products of wrestlers being featured that were deemphasized
when you were reportedly back involved in making creative decisions. And so you with
me, maybe it sinn't gonna work like your large pepperoni with them peppers,
onions and bacon. Please do you delivered to do delivered to things to places
to we do, sir? But I'll think if you talk to this gentleman
first, okay, all right, So Vince, have you been involved in
creative at all since uh all this started going down? It seems like you
haven't been in Triple H's influences, being more keenly felt when you know,
the thing about it is that I do who I do, possess a creative
brain. That's where the primary functions of of my my abilities on a executive
and political nature come from, is my creativity. And so when it comes
to Paul and what he is a lot to put on screen, really what
it comes down to is this Triple H can't take a leak without my fucking
permission. I don't know. At Summer's time, he was walking around like
he was back in control because I told him he could do that. You
like to zooming in and like fetelling rat at the last minute? Is that
how you were handling it because you weren't on site. There is no listen
I have found in the in the the H. I have found in the
in the post COVID world that we are allowed that the technology has gotten to
the level where I don't have to be on site two do my job.
But again, it's my company, it's my fucking show. I decide what
the fuck is going on? What do you think of La Night? It's
a great city. Now the wrestler, what is somebody that you know?
Apparently you didn't see a and what was cast as the manager of a male
model stable. And then suddenly your creative influence dies down and he's breaking through
to a degree. I mean, have you noticed something about him that's that's
kind of a little interesting. Yeah, I'm not sure I follow. He's
basically a Gala Magol amalgamation of Stone Cold Steve Austen in the Rock? Right
who created Stone col Steve Auston in the Rock, Vince McMahon. So I
thought I saw a complete loser in in lnite and then I said, well,
you know what, let's try making him makes of both Stone Cole,
Steve Auston and the Rock. And now La Night is getting over? Is
that Spanish for the Night? Let him? But don't speaking with I'm an
American lapsed fan wrestling podcast with Jack Incarno JP Sorrow. He's the lapsed fan
wrestling podcast. Let's turn your attention to this. I'm gonna read it right
off from CNBC. As a matter of fact, federal law enforcement agents executed
a search warrant on World Wrestling Entertainment boss Vince McMahon last month and served him
with a federal grand jury subpoena, the company disclosed Wednesday. The actions represent
an escalation of an ongoing investigation and allegations that McMahon paid millions of dollars over
the years to women after being accused of sexual misconduct. WBLSO revealed Wednesday the
McMahon would quote one on medical leave after undergoing major spinal surgery. McMahon's leave
began July twenty first, and he will remain on medical leave until further notice,
but will remain executive chairman. SO apologies for referring to you for press
references. I think to you as an ex chairman of WB, the company
said, and it's quarterly report to the SEC you reach for comment. Wednesday,
the company said it believes to the subpoena and search warrant at a continuation
of the investigation that commenced last summer, so that would be of the sex
money payments. W B has cooperated throughute and fully understands and respects the government's
need for a complete process. McMahon, a separate statement told NBC CNBC.
I have always denied any intentional wrongdoing and continue to do so. I am
confident that the government's investigation would be resolved without any findings of ron doing.
So what can you tell us what they rated? They rated your pad,
didn't they they're your bachelor pad there? Well, sure, I told them
they could do it. I called the rain the rain, just fucking you
know, I am. Do you have classified documents in your condo? I
cannot disclose that information. I'm starting to wonder, it's starting to ring.
I'll tell you something I can either confirm nor the nor deny the possibility that
President Trump has left some things in my in my care. I note it
with great interest that your long time consiguliari don't pay interest. Clearly don't take
interest either. I'm interested in in my future endeavors. I noted with interest
that you're a longtime consiguliary in the legal arena. Jerry mcdevit sort of accelerating
his retirement. In fact, take himself off the case of w t B
versus a Major League Wrestling, which is coming down to you know, like
subpoenaing, like Live Nation for whatever, like exclusivity agreements might exist between WWE
and arenas and TV stations. And that sounds like, I don't know,
sounds like an unflattering fact pattern. What why is h Jerry no longer on
the warm line? Well, let's just saying to be if I'm going to
be completely blunt, Jerry has played out his usefulness. The bulldog, The
bulldog is taking a nap, the charging bull in a China shop. There
is is slowing down. I need someone with bigger fucking balls than Jerry mcdivon,
all right, And why is that goes on? He goes on fucking
interviews, and he goes on fucking TV shows and he starts sharing information that
is not his to share. And he would turn Steve Meltzer's phone calls and
he talks to fucking yeah, that little that little talks all. He talks
to a lot of journalists. Actually it's it's interesting, and you know,
and the thing is, you know, I think he thinks that as he's
he's coming to a certain point in his career, in his age, that
he thinks he is allowed to share things about my personal whatever. Yeah,
he saw im on dark side of the ring kind of really holding chord about
the intricate details at defending you successfully in nineteen ninety four. And there you're
I think he said your bond is strong as iron or something. Let me
tell you the bond is only as strong as I want it to be.
And he starts opening his mouth and sharing things that he shouldn't be fucking talking
about. And I let him know exactly who the boss is. You know,
the thing as he thinks he works for a fucking law firm. He
works for me. He always has worked for me, And the only reason
he's a lawyer is because of me. He was a lawyer, in fairness
before he worked with you. I mean, that's no, no. He
may have passed the bar or whatever, but he wasn't a lawyer until he
was with me. And he knows too much. Can I ask you something,
Vince does Jerry mcdevit need to watch his ass? Yes he does.
Do you want to say anything more about that? I'll tell you right now
that what he knows and what he is sort of sort of you know,
I promised or or alluded to things that he's alluded to in television shows and
other interviews and print media, if you want to call it that, The
stuff he's alluded to has made him a liability, and I will well,
you know again, I'm in a situation where where the bluntness is real.
There are men watching him twenty four hours a day. If he makes a
wrong move, they have been ordered to shoot to kill. So you better
watch his fucking ass, didn't you? Just? How is that not a
confession to a crime? Right there? How is that conspiracyd commit first to
great mercy? I just happen to know these things about it. I didn't
say that I told him to do that. I just know that this is
a fact that there are people who are watching him and who are prepared to
kill him. Saying people that visited John Oressi back during the steroid trials,
I know not of what you talk about. Now, what did they take
from your house? I believe they took a computer. They they may have
taken. I believe they took some files, you know, some classified government
documents, some things about what some classified government documents. We just talked about
that, and you denied any any knowledge of such things. No, I
said, I said that President Trump letting me have things. I don't know
if what it's it's ethical to continue this interview. If you're gonna. I
don't know what what's ethical. I'm not ethical. You're not ethical position to
answer questions in a coaching way. I mean you start answering questions and in
the why did you have why did you have about Russia? What I had?
I had some documents that about about you know, some there there there
there may you know they're they're President Trump and I were working on a deal
with Russia for a possible entertainment venture. And you know there would have been
some governmental favors involved. Uh, I wasn't privy to that, but but
we were going to kind of a similar deal like we have with Saudi Arabia.
Basically, we were going to turn over the United States to both Saudi
Arabia and Russia in exchange for a multi billion dollar contract for me to do
shows in Russia. And when you say turn over the United States, yeah,
in what way? Well? The idea was that is that? Again?
Is that if if if Donald Trump world to win the twenty twenty election,
he was going to he was going to surrender the United States to to
Russia and Saudi Arabia in exchange for this this monetary deal where he and I
would split billions of dollars and so therefore we would be the the U the
U S A R which would have been the United Saudy American Russias. But
this is the United Saudi Americans of Russia. Certa has a certain wing to
it does and and you know the it it was all I mean, I
mean, this is this is why he's he's he's doing name you know what
he's been doing. So he's so I I he he said, look,
pal, you gotta you gotta whole one of the ship for the time being.
All right, I don't want this, I mean because I think if
if if these, if these documents were left around and in the White House
for you know, the next regime to come in, you know, then
that would have been that would have been a problem. So he said,
roll onto this, and you know that's fine, I said, fine,
will try to conduct this offer to this business dealing in a different way.
It's been reported that when he was in the White House, you were one
of a very shortlisted people that he would have everyone cleared the room out so
he could talk to that person nobody else could listen. Is that true?
What kind of things would you discuss in those encounters just different ways we could
we could, I mean, I was I was telling him how to conduct
proper foreign policy having dealt with the multitude of nations. After all, we
are the worldwide entertainment, not just the United States of entertainment. And so
we we so yeah, we talked about the multitude of of different things.
You know, we talked about is it do is there any way we can
nuke certain company, certain countries without being blamed for it? And we came
very close to to to to nuking Australia. Why why Australia, I'm all
places, just because we could. It just seemed like a a thing that
maybe nobody would really miss and you know, it's it would be just a
testing ground of a tyrannical regime of of of power. And again we didn't
actually go through with it. We I don't know if we could say we
thought better of it, but we ultimately decided it wasn't in our best inners
to to to to commit that act. So and then also we we're figuring
out ways that we could collect money from other countries without having to give anything
in return, and AMI as well as uh, you know, seeing what
we could do about environmental issues. Okay, you got to say more about
that. I can't. I can't just transition off that. What do you
mean environmental issues? We're trying to to to. What we're trying to do
is create a bad environment for everybody else except for a certain area, and
maybe we can sell proper real estate in that area. So basically, you'd
have climate change around the globe except for this one area, and then we
could make money off of people who would just have to live there while everyone
else suffers, you know, extreme weather conditions. I believe in climate change.
I believe it is the way of the future. Oh well, what
were you doing when the FEDS executed the search wine on your place? I
was having a cup of coffee while they did it. I have nothing to
hide him. I'm a proper individual. What I do is proper a man
of propriety, vincent propriety, McMahon, take it or leave it. So
you sat there and sipped a cup of Joe while they rifled through your personal
effects and my zooma pants and tank top. And I asked him if they
needed any support. Support they needed to show of certain places. I do
have a lot of hidden locks and things that they might not get to so
for like bagels, Yes that I do have my own. I do have
a room where I have a bagel maker, like not just a machine,
but my man. In in my apartment. If you there's a bookshelf and
if you open it, there's there's the room with one of those giant boilers
in it in an oven. I got a bagel every morning. Why why
does he have to be hidden? Well, I mean it's New York.
I mean if you're going to have the best bagel, you got to keep
it to yourself, all right, So you said, told me, always
told you what keep the bagels to yourself? I see? Would that be
your actual mom, Vicky? Or the one you the one that actually loved
you one? Nita? It could have been here to one. They both
couldn't blend together. Did while you were sipping coffee? Did you say anything
to the Feds? Well, he said, you offered them help, but
anything else? You remember? I said, I asked them what sort of
entertainment they followed, and they someone said they liked movies and TV shows And
I said, well are you are you a fan of the WWE brand of
entertainment? And one of them did say yes, as he follows WWE brands,
and so he and I had a chat, and you know, he
had some suggestions over creative directions of certain characters, and you know, I
thought that there was you know, a lot of upside and bringing back CM
punk and whatnot. So it was, it was, it was a valuable
conversation. So they just took what a bunch of boxes at the end of
the day something like that. I really don't. I mean, they took
a lot of stuff out there. They took files, they took computers,
they took some of my Playboy magazines, and I think they even took some
of my VHSKA sets. Now, after they left at Imagineer, first move
was to call an attorney immediately. H No, No. The first thing
I did was I wanted to I wanted to change the ending to raw that
night. But the night did call the lawyer. Yeah, And how did
that conversation go. It's fine. I mean, we re shared the I
shared about what had happened, and they asked if I, you know,
disclose anything, and I said yes, and they said why And I said,
because I have nothing to hide, And they said, Vince, you
have everything to hide. And I said it doesn't matter. I'm still gonna
win. So well, I mean, I don't know how many more times
you have to, you know, repeat this beat in your life where it
seems like finally, you know, somebody has decided the whole thing as you
as you're well aware. It's like because you operate and sort of like this
niche sport with like where no one takes it seriously that you can get away
with like all manner of misdeeds and the media doesn't really care to report on
it in any depth and really hammer away because it's not a major sport.
But if you did, yea, Because here's the thing. This is the
thing about the media, all right, they don't really care about money,
they don't really care about violence, they don't really care about anything else.
But when it's about sex. You know, we live in a Puritan culture,
all right. That's that's who founded this country. Puritans, you know,
they they they they didn't believe in having in sexual freedom. They didn't
believe in in in any freedom. So that's the thing about it. We
we have conditioned ourselves to really only pay attention when sex is involved. If
you'll notice, that's usually when when I get in trouble with somebody and drugs,
I suppose, but that's been a more recent development. It's all about
sex. Sex is the biggest crime. The drugs are there to get to
sex exactly. It be they steroids to attract women or yet. Listen,
I'm I'm if it, if it, If it gets my noodle in some
sauce, I don't care what it is. I want to do it drug
and I'm gonna stick my dick in something. And so do you think you
represent sort of like a fading masculinity in America? Are you a hero of
masculinity? Are you? No? I believe I represent a hero of a
new rising masculinity. I believe I'm on the cusp of the masculine, the
pinnacle. Why does that world look like that? You envision yourself being on
the cusp of what? Well? What? What's the nirvana? What's the
apex? It's it's it's I mean, b B, it's me sitting in
a golden room naked with women pleasuring me all the time, and I'm getting
paid for it. So that's where you think the country's headed, That's where
I'm headed. I'm a sucking back surgery for people hear about back surgeries,
they hear about search warrants being executed, they worry about you, Vince.
I mean, if you can, you can wish me luck in my future
by future sexual endeavors, because they are coming, and so am I.
I mean, is there anything you want to say to the people that have
worried about you, or that have hoped to see you fail, hope to
see you get convicted, hope to say let me say this, all right,
for those who are worried about me and for those who who want to
see me fall, here's the deal. You know, people always talk about
making a pact with the devil. All right, I am the devil.
I'm not going anywhere never ever ever. I will run this fucking place down
to the fucking burning embers of hell, and I'll be happy doing it,
and I'll be getting my stick sucked at the same time. You don't believe
me. Did you know I did a thing WrestleMania weekend? Did you know
that? Did you know anything? Well? I mean that was that was
pretty wild because while the biggest amount of the year is going on, it
hits the financial press that you were going to sell the company to endeavor a
merger of sorts, and you're suddenly you were on CNBC with a mustache.
We hadn't seen you in months, and there you were on national cable talking
about this multi billion dollar deal. And that's the way it goes, because
I hello, what you you wet? You want to finish that thought?
Are you okay? What far you know? Well, it sounds like I
should I should be letting you you go, But I'd be lying if I
said this was the strictly speaking, first time I've spoken to you since the
this American Work installment. When checked in with you and you're running around on
your cell phone and copies of claim you did send me a cryptic text,
And as I'm trying to triangulate the course of events, I feel like it
actually came to me. Right around the time that this this search warrant was
executed. You had told me just TLF. It says TLF WrestleMania Weekend.
Check it out. Yes, I hope this might be my opportunity to get
some clarity on on what it is I should be looking for. I suppose
that stands forth the lapsed fan, but I wasn't sure. Yeah, it's
that stupid fucking college basement podcast that this stings. And I think there's no
things when I think they're funny, laugh at their own jokes. That's like
they've been in the business. Yeah, you know, they're one guy who
talks and he thinks he does a good impression to me, and I just
want to punch that fucker in the face. But yeah, I do a
thing for them, and I showed them exactly why I am. You see,
despite every lhere and I have been through, I am absolutely delighted to
see each and every one of you here to night. If I were you
know, if I ever give any offer to live at any given time,
at any place, at any whatever you know in history, I would pick
right now, right here, North Hollywood, Lapsed fan Live Us. Maybe
come across with a strange statement for me to make, because the world is
all messed up. This fucking podcast is bullshit. The nation is sick,
trouble is in the land, and there there's confusion. There's confusion all run.
But I know sometime, but only when it is dark enough and you
see the stars, the w t B WE superstars, and I see God
working in this period in a way that men in some strange way are responding
to you meant it. For years now, have been talking about war and
peace. Now I've never met warr in peace, but I do hear people
talking about it. But now no longer can they just talk about it.
It is no longer a choice between violence and non violence in this world.
It's violence or non existence. That is where we are today. Now what
does all this mean in these great period of history. It means that we've
got to stay together. We're gonna stay together and maintain unity. Then now
forever together. We aren't form gonna let any lawsuits stop us. We're not
gonna let any broken NDAs stop us. No state house or district attorney or
securities regulator, no comedian, no fucking podcast. No former female at WWW
referees. She liked the big Mack attack, she needed the Big Night attack.
No. No earlier than thou ww board members, or I should say
former wy reboard members. No fails of a failing knowing no failson of a
failing NFL owner. No fucking way. If I lived in any totalitarian country,
you know, maybe I can understand what's happened to me and so many
of my friends in the last several months and years, maybe I could understand
the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges because they hadn't committed themselves to that
over there, you know, but made Somewhere I read of the freedom of
money to create reality. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere
I read of the freedom to not categorize wrestlers as w two employees with NTS.
Somewhere I read of the freedom to cheat on your life thousands of times
and not have her leave you, so if you're damn right, that's right.
Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to do whatever
you want, so long as you entertain the public and strike that perfect balance
between having billions and it's still somehow convincing the people that you're one of them.
I want you to think about everything I've ever done and everyone who ever
thought I would lose. I don't want you to know that I am about
to become richer than I could have possibly appretiated. Again, this is my
life's work, this American work now. And I moved to my conclusion that
we've got to give ourselves to this struggle until the end. Nothing would be
more tragic than to stop at this point in the growth and evolution of the
WWE. And therefore, notwithstanding American entertainment and sport, we've got to see
it through. We need to stand up for the WWE. Now. Let
us rise on tonight with a greater readiness, let us stand with a greater
determination, and let us move on in these powerful days. These days a
challenge to make the WWE way got to be and we have an opportunity to
make w TOWE a better organization. That's right, and I want to thank
God once more for allowing me to allowing me to be here with you.
You know, several years ago New York, facing the press with a neck
brace on, after I'd been a quitted of all charges, thank you very
much, not guilty him, A determined man came up and said, are
you Vince McMahon. I said, yes, I am Vins McMahon. And
the next minute I felt something beating on my chest. Someone had bumped into
me, and I was afraid I was going to be paralyzed because my neck
injury was in fact very real, not kfey. I was rushed to the
hospital and they said if I had merely sneezed, I would have died.
Fortunately for me, I never sneeze, because sneezing is for big tasks of
mother fuckers who can't control ourselves. I got a letter from my daughter in
the hospital that read it, Dad, I'm so glad you didn't sneeze.
I'm so glad you're not one of these weak willed cuts in speace. And
I want to say tonight, I want to say tonight that I too,
am happy that I don't sneeze, because if I did, I wouldn't have
been around here in twenty twenty three, when the WWE was finally in a
position to stand up for the best in the American Dream or the American Nightmare,
to in fact crown the son of the American Dream forfeitting me the American
nightmare. I'm so happy that I don't sneeze. And I'm so happy that
my daughter, despite this sweet sentiment in support, will end up with none
of my company. Now it doesn't matter about me. Now, it doesn't
really matter what happens. Now. I got into Los Angeles and my phone
was blowing up with calls from attorneys of all Stripes area codes, foreign and
domestic, m and a returning attorneys sex private attorneys, attorneys who now who
know how to make the explosion of a corporate headquarters or the killing of a
journalists. I appeared to be someone else who's doing That's a whole different that's
a whole different law. They heard about what happened to our foreign president and
current w Hall of Famer, about how NBA's he thought he'd secured work worth
paper they were printed on him, about behavior that was once innocent enough in
America that is now somehow being seen as above and not a feature of America.
All we say to America is be true what you said on paper.
Friends, I suggest to you that if we don't have contracts, we don't
have a country. Some I talked to began to chatter about the threats that
we're out. What would have happened to me and some of our sick former
WB devas lawyered out and took advantage of changes to various statutes of limitation.
Well, I don't know what will happen to happen. We've got some difficult
days ahead, but it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been
to an out on top. I've been to the top of Mountain SIGEI I've
seen the burning bush. I have looked God in the face, and God
was me. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to
live a long life, long devity as a place, but I am not
concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. My will,
however you find God me, and He's allowed me to go up to
the mountain top and I looked over and I've seen the promise, and I've
seen the crown jewel. As I said before, I do believe that say
where Arabia is the future of a verse. I believe in the USA.
I believe in the United Saudi America's just like Carol Aton did and Sergeant Slaughter
and soon so we'll ray Emanuel. You know he thought he was above doing
business with the kingdom. But like Codys, I am my kingdom and you
will will follow me until the end. Now I may not get there with
you, but I want you to go tonight that we as a WWA universe
will get to the Promised Land. And so I'm happy tonight. I'm not
worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. My eyes have seen the
glory of the coming of the Lord, and I would like you all to
wish me luck in my future endeavor. But there was a succeeding proceeding in
