WWE Legend: “Vince McMahon is ‘the worst wrestler ever’… I say that with all due respect”

Chris Jericho was a WWE loyalist for nearly 20 years after joining in 1999, but now he is leading the crusade over in AEW. Vince McMahon didn’t think Chris Jericho would really sign with AEW in the first place.

The ‘Demo God’ is a a sure-fire Hall of Fame headliner whenever he and WWE kiss and make up on that front and he’s been involved in some legendary angles during his time in the business.

As a result, he’s been close with Vince McMahon on and off screen.

The wrestling legend was speaking with Nick Dinsmore, formerly known as Eugene, on his Talk is Jericho podcast. Dinsmore recalled how he pinned McMahon with a schoolboy to win a Handicap Match against Vince and son Shane McMahon.

Jericho would add his two cents on the WWE CEO’s in-ring ability.

“Vince, the worst wrestler ever. He probably even screwed up the schoolboy.”

Over the years, McMahon has found himself in the ring a great deal. He has over 50 matches to his name, though he hasn’t wrestled since taking on Bret Hart back in 2010 at the ripe old age of 64. Pretty insane.

Stone Cold Steve Austin, easily McMahon’s greatest foe, was recently on WWE’s The Bump and he added a lot of credence to Jericho’s words.

“Well, you know, Vince always wanted to be an in-ring performer, but his dad wouldn’t let him, so he just turned into the greatest promoter of all time.

This window of opportunity opens up organically so we could start feuding together and that it puts him in the ring. Vince was not the most graceful human being in the world.

I say that with all due respect because I love working with him.”

McMahon still runs WWE to this day and at 76 this year, one has to imagine it’s getting tougher and tougher.

Still, it was only last year at WrestleMania McMahon was recorded convincing and then showing Rob Gronkowski how to perform a stunt.
