One person responded: "I'm still trying to figure out why there was so much build up if he was going to cut a promo that bland! Typical Vince... Whether it's behind the curtain, in the ring, or in the sack, he always manages to build up everyone's expectations then leave them disappointed later on!"

Another person replied: "Missed the point lol. All Vince did was state a powerful message and prove he always puts his company and fans before his personal life. The more people that shit on him the more it becomes sad you all don't realise without Vince you probably wouldn't even like wrestling."
prevnextWeird
Vince McMahon literally walked out to the ring, explained their "Then. Now. Forever. Together" tagline, said "Welcome to Smackdown," threw the microphone and left.
That was really weird.

One person asked: "How did FOX let this happen? I know it's ratings, but like why would you want this negative publicity?"

One Twitter user said: "In the eyes of the board the money is the issue, Vince could have had an affair with a ton of women he just didn't have to pay them. The misconduct is because she's an employee and there's a power imbalance with him being her boss."

One fan said: "Soo what just cause you have an affair doesnt mean you should lose your job or company. Business and marriage are 2 different entities. We have always known he isnplowing other women. So what. It doesnt matter."

Vince McMahon talks about the "THEN. NOW. FOREVER" from the show intro. Then says most importantly "TOGETHER", throws the mic, and leaves. Crowd reaction was positive and cheering.

One fan replied: "Honestly, not surprised. I laughed when he threw the mic and walked out. I figured he wouldn't say much of anything, he just wanted the ratings boost."

And this fan said: "Also, if McMahon committed the infraction then why is the board also looking at Johnny Ace? Also, if McMahon and Linda have been separated for so many years as being reported how is it in the fair? This all tells me the guilty party might be Johnny Ace."
