Austin Theory has shared what he believes is the biggest misconception about Vince McMahon.
Theory has aligned with Vince on WWE TV. He’s scheduled to wrestle Pat McAfee on night two (April 3) of WrestleMania 38.
Misconceptions
During an interview with TV Insider, Austin Theory discussed what he believes people get wrong about the WWE Chairman.
“For me, there has always been the stigma of Vince McMahon that he is not nice or one-way about stuff. That it’s his way or no way. From what I’ve seen and my experience, he is on another level. All the hats he wears.
“He is so invested in everybody and somehow makes everything work. I think that’s so crazy to see him doing it for that long and staying that sharp. If I have a question or see anybody have a question, and they want to talk to him, they always get an answer. They always get a conversation.
“I think that is so cool to really see the passion he still has for what he does. It hasn’t left him at all. For me personally, it is cool to know this man’s a billionaire and still working like he has a grand in his bank account.”
What Austin Theory Learned From Vince
Theory also discussed what he’s been able to learn from Vince McMahon. He claims to have learned “respectful aggressiveness” thanks to Vince’s guidance. Theory says it has allowed him to get ahead as a WWE performer.
“I’m in a position that anyone who aspired to do anything in WWE would be so honored to have. I understand just how big a deal the position I am in is. Just how crazy it is for me as a lifelong fan who grew up watching Mr. McMahon and the crazy things he did.
“It’s cool to be put in a position to perform live television with him. The one thing I’ve learned from him is this respectful aggressiveness. Showing you have that respect, but if you have an idea and are passionate about something, you have to use that aggressiveness to go after it.
“There are little tips as we perform that I take away from for sure.”
