– On the latest edition of the 1 Of A Kind podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam addressed the recent allegations against former WWE Chairman and TKO Executive Chairman of the Board Vince McMahon. As noted, McMahon is facing a lawsuit and is being accused of sex trafficking by a former WWE employee, Janel Grant. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Rob Van Dam on the allegations against Vince McMahon: “I still probably haven’t seen all the pieces. From what I saw, it was pretty shocking. I can’t imagine the Vince McMahon that I know speaking like the person that texted those messages. It seemed like it was coming from a depraved 17-year-old or something. My first thought was, ‘Come on, Vince really said all that?’ I know the belief is that they can prove it and that it’s legitimate and credible sources.”

On why he’s bewildered by the situation: “It just leaves me a little bewildered. I can’t imagine that. It makes me wonder, billionaires that are world leaders, what do they do for fun? You see these movies where they let people out in the woods and hunt them down and shoot them, like a rich people’s game. If any of this stuff is based on some truth, I make the comparison there, someone that has such a hunger for power that they need to control someone. That’s about Vince. I can’t say anyone else mentioned would surprise me quite as much.”

As previously reported, Vince McMahon is denying the allegations and claims by Grant in her legal complaint.
