Former WWE chairman Vince McMahon returned to the spotlight for a rare interview, and fans are reacting to his current look.
For the past year, McMahon has not been seen much in public after the FBI began investigating him for sex trafficking, which caused him to resign from his position at the WWE.
On Tuesday, McMahon was interview by TMZ’s Harvey Levin for a Fox special about the death of Hulk Hogan.
During the interview, McMahon defended Hogan several times over his past racist comments.
“I knew he wasn’t a racist. I’d been with him for so many years. He wasn’t a racist. He said some racist things, and he should pay for that, and he did, but in the end, I think everyone saw the real Hulk Hogan, and said Wait a minute, this guy doesn’t act like a racist, he’s not a racist. We all make mistakes, and that was a big one. He’s not a racist.”
Vince McMahon shares his thoughts on why Hulk Hogan made a return to WWE after his racist remarks came to light
