Mike Bennett Slams WWE & Vince McMahon for Mass Firings, Calls Vince a ‘Greedy Evil Man’

August 1, 2021 | Posted by Jeffrey Harris

– In a series of posts he shared on Twitter last Friday, former WWE Superstar Mike Bennett took WWE and Chairman Vince McMahon to task for the recent roster firings, calling McMahon a “greedy evil man” and said any fan who denies that now is living in denial. You can read his comments and view his tweets below:

I’m going to pick up my kids at daycare now. Here’s the last thing I’ll say. Watch all wrestling(especially @ringofhonor). Enjoy what you enjoy. I watch everything. I find plenty enjoyable at WWE. Some of my best friends still work there.

However to deny that Vince is a greedy evil man, is to live in denial. You can enjoy the WWE product and realize that Vince has become bad for wrestling. The fish rots at the head and for the past 40 years Vince has been at the top.

He fired mass amounts of people during the worst health crisis in 100 years. All to save a few million dollars, when his company was set to make record profits. Many people with families and children lost their jobs that day, so Vince could become slightly more rich. To deny this fact is to live in delusion. He’s destroyed more lives than he’s helped.

You can still enjoy the product & realize the boss is a piece of [poo emoji]. Instead of attacking the men and women who broke their backs for Vince to become a billionaire, maybe stand up for those talents. I promise you Vince will still be a lousy human, but maybe you’ll understand a bit better.

In the meantime support all Indie Wrestlers who are literally the backbone of this industry and #WatchROH. The women’s division and the pure division are changing the pro wrestling game.

Mike Bennett and his wife, Maria Kanellis, were released from WWE in April 2020 due to pandemic-related budget cuts. They are currently appearing in Ring of Honor.
