– During a recent appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, former WWE Superstar Maven Huffman was part of a panel debating the career of former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. Maven shared some of his own personal experiences and the “good and bad” when dealing with McMahon. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Maven on dealing with Vince McMahon: “Coachman said he said ‘no’ to Vince one time in 13 years, I never knew saying ‘no’ was an option. When Vince said something, it was pretty much law. I got on his bad side one time, and it was right before we were getting ready to go on an extended break. An extended break for wrestlers might be an additional two or three days at home. It was right before one of these breaks, I had an average match. It wasn’t a stinker or a horrible match, but it wasn’t great. As soon as I came through the curtain, he was there. He was there to let me know just how mad he was at me. He told me, ‘During your time off, you need to decide if this is the place you want to be.’”

On the good and bad with Vince McMahon: “There is that side of Vince, but there’s also the side of Vince where, after a three-year battle with cancer, the night my mom passed, I didn’t get a call from his secretary; I got a call from Vince telling me exactly how sorry he was for my loss. It’s good and bad with the man.”

Vince McMahon’s life and career, including some of the more recent sexual assault allegations made against him, are documented in the new Netflix docuseries, Mr. McMahon, which is streaming now.
