Vince McMahon has returned to the limelight with his recent integration into Hulk Hogan‘s TMZ-produced documentary “The Real Hulk Hogan.” He was all over the doc, and his shabby facials seemed to worry Jim Ross. The iconic wrestling commentator talked about McMahon’s physical appearance in Hogan’s documentary on his Grilling JR podcast. To Ross, McMahon looked horrible, tired, and withdrawn.

The good-ol’ J.R. was surprised by the amount of screen time McMahon got and even quipped that whoever did his makeup should be fired. Ross claimed that the former WWE CEO mentioned a lot of things on air that he’d privately said.

The 73-year-old AEW figure even went on to say that McMahon appeared a bit frustrated, as if he were abused to some extent. Ross then explained that it might’ve been the case, as he was extremely close to Hogan.

I thought he looked horrible. He looked tired, withdrawn. It had me concerned. When I first saw it when it came on, I watched it from the beginning, they had a lot of Vince on it. I was surprised he was on camera so much………

McMahon’s grayish hairline and colored eyebrows caught Ross’s attention in particular. The latter asserted that he didn’t expect the notorious business tycoon to agree to appear on camera for such an extended period of time. McMahon’s proximity to Hulk Hogan could be deduced from the fact that he declared him the greatest WWE superstar of all time in his public statement on Hogan’s demise.

The XFL founder also hailed Hogan as a trailblazer and the first wrestling star to balloon into global stardom. McMahon’s note for ‘The Immortal One’ was backed by his son Shane McMahon, who quoted a reply to his father’s post on X. ‘Shane-O-Mac’ was blown away by the ex-WWE Chairman’s eloquent description of ‘The Sterling Golden’ by adding that his legacy is immortal.

What did Vince McMahon say about Hulk Hogan in the TMZ documentary?

The polarizing statements that Vince McMahon gave in the aforementioned documentary dedicated to Hulk Hogan are in the public domain now. First and foremost, the 79-year-old declared that he doesn’t consider the deceased wrestler a racist even though he made some racially insensitive remarks more than a decade ago. McMahon claimed that Hogan was made to pay for his mistakes.

The lawsuit-facing businessman also expressed his anger over WWE’s treatment of Hogan on its Netflix premiere of Raw. ‘The Genetic Jackhammer’ affirmed that he would’ve done things differently instead of sending Hogan out in front of the Los Angeles crowd. For the unversed, the former NWO leader was heavily booed in what will go down as his final WWE appearance.

The Florida native was trolled on social media, and many were jubilant over him receiving the negative reaction that they claimed he was long overdue for. Speaking of Hogan’s sudden demise, it punched a giant hole in McMahon’s heart. The former WWE owner underscored the Hulkster’s tenacity that got him through the numerous surgeries he had on his back. McMahon, borrowing a line from Hogan’s playbook, affirmed that Hulkamania will live on forever.

Triple H’s latest reaction to the Vince McMahon allegations by Janel Grant

It’s not lost on anyone that Vince McMahon has been fighting a legal battle with Janel Grant since January 2024. The allegations brought forth by Ms. Grant alleged that she was a victim of sexual trafficking during her tenure in WWE. McMahon and the former head of the company’s talent relations, John Laurinaitis, were both named as defendants in the lawsuit.

However, Laurinaitis was dropped from the complaint recently after he agreed to testify against his former boss. McMahon’s son-in-law and incumbent WWE CCO, Triple H, was asked about the entire situation and his take on the matter. ‘The Game’ rhetorically stated that all WWE can do right now is move forward as a company.

Calling allegations a complicated relationship for anyone in life, he noted that no one is perfect, alluding to his father-in-law. Paul Levesque declared that the accusations imposed on McMahon are completely apart from what WWE is currently focused on. Clearing his side, the 14-time world champion said that his job is to steer the creative to the best of his abilities and produce a compelling product for the audience.
