A shoot interview by him would be 1000 hours long. So much history, knowledge, and input.
McMahon should definitely write a book.
He seems like a pretty humble guy. He never says if his brother is wealthy he just says "he does all right" he has the respect not to involve personal issues in public

he destroyed many wrestling businesses out of pure greed, whilst his father did not want to compete with the other territories. THATS A LEGIT MAN. Do you really classify an evil man that put people out of jobs doing what they love and destroyed the true art of professional wrestling, a legit guy? cmon bro. judge them by their fruits, not by their appearance. that nice guy act is all but an act and then they go behind the scenes and play power trip. Dont fall for that brotha. I see too many people classify evil people as nice human beings based off interviews they hear where they sound "HUMBLE". nothing humble about destroying so many territories and endangering their talent as well all for his pure greed. HIS DAD WOULD NOT BE PROUD. He did not inherits his fathers GOOD heart.

Wow, Howard made some really good points that really apply today. From his question of whether Vince would ever get tired of the business, to his questioning of would Vince REALLY trust his children to continue the WWE at the level that it was at the time of this interview? Because at this point, in 2020, Vince's stubborn desire to still run things at 70 years old only proves his point right. Beside's Robin's annoying interruptions, this was a great interview.
That short clip of HHH after Vince didn’t say his name on who would get his money is priceless
He was the same age here that undertaker is now
I hate when they interrupt the guest from speaking. Always!
It would be great if Howard would bring Vince in again. There is so much interesting stuff behind the scenes in the wrestling business over the years. The whole "territory" conversation got hijacked by Robin, but there's a TON of good stuff in there.
The rapidfire questioning makes it difficult for any guest to truly open up… They’re talking a mile a minute especially Robin… It’s borderline ruining the interview
A day will come, when we ALL shall miss & deeply respect & admire Vince in his passing. Will definitely be a sad & memorable day🙏 with tributes from around the world & WWE UNIVERSE. You will be missed & remembered Forever💯

For sure. '97-'02 was the highwater mark of that era (Attitude into Ruthless Aggression)...I gradually stopped watching in 2003 and then only watched sporadically. There was still some good stuff in the '00s, but the last 10 years have largely been a disaster. It's a shame.

Still makes hella money. There’s a lot of things they can’t do (show excess blood, head shots, sexualizing women, rampant steroids, excessive cursing) so they try to do what they can, the best they can. If you don’t like the product, oh well. There are more kids that watch more than ever and every wrestle mania sells out. But let me end with, I agree with you. The attitude era was amazing. Ruthless aggression era was pretty cool, the product nowadays isn’t as good.

Smoky mountain wrestling was my joint back in the early to mid 90s. We only had regular t.v because we lived in the hills of Ohio & it was before the small satellite dishes became available. Use to get home from school and watch it. That was one of the Appalachian territory's Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky etc. Good ole days.

Vince gets a lot of shit these days for "killing" the wrestling business. However, if his father wasn't even a millionaire back then and he owned one of the largest territories, then Vince did the right thing. He did open it up for much bigger paydays for everyone. As long as you worked under their brand.

I haven't seen a Howard Stern interview yet where it isn't 85% questions firing across each other where the guest just sits there trying to get a sentence out.
Man if I could hear that Vince laugh again in 2020 that would be amazing. You don’t see much Vince interviews anymore. And the XFL in 2020 was doing great but COVID took it out.
Full interview please.
Hate how they keep cutting Vince off and don’t let him speak!
Gotta love that when they are talking about who will not take the money after Vince's death, it shows this at 5:28
Great grab from the archives.
Mad how much "like" this is to modern day podcasting.. pretty mind bending.
This is the most personality you’ll get from Vince. I’m in awe rn
Hes truly one of a kind
Vince put WCW out of business 4 days after this interview.
How he became a billionaire: 1: don’t pay for your talents travel or hotel 2 : pay your developmental talent a pittance 3: gouge you fan base with over priced merchandise and ticket prices 4: make a huge amount money of the talent but don’t fairly share the money between yourself and said talent
He is so laid back for how rich and successful he is
Vince is the man he's worked hard his whole life God bless him! 👍
This was like a week or two before Wrestlemania X-7 which was arguably the zenith of the Attitude era
God..Vince seemed so young and vibrant back then...
3:12 Oh Robin, bless her heart.
Damn they don’t even let him finish answering 😂
Vince is sooooo careful with his words
hes a legend
I was a couple months old when this interview took place
Lol! The Vince laugh!
Stern: Are you a billionaire? VKM: I don't know. It sounds good... 😂😂😂 Very Vince answer
If Vince started a shoot podcast it would be gold!
You know damn well Vince hated being talked over by Robin
What a legend
Most Infamous 🎤Wrestling Announcer bar none Vince’s line Oh No!!!
The answer to the headline is simple, Hogan made Vince millions while Austin made him billions.
