McMahon has often said controversial things on-air while the women in the company were shoddily treated before the women’s evolution happened.
WWE Executive Director Bruce Prichard has now spoken about the time Vince McMahon used the n-word in a segment with John Cena on WWE television back in 2005. That raised a lot of eyebrows back in the day and wouldn’t be used now in WWE.
Bruce Prichard on Vince McMahon using the N-Word in a segment in WWE
Bruce Prichard, on his Something to Wrestle podcast, spoke about the segment and said that it wouldn’t hold up now. He said that it was a different time and a different mentality.
The segment in question happened in 2005 when Vince McMahon addressed John Cena in a jovial manner and used the n-word backstage in WWE. It was an awkward moment, especially considering African-American Superstar Booker T was also involved in the segment.
WWE released a statement a few years ago about that segment:
That segment featuring Vince McMahon awkward and embarrassing and will forever be brought up whenever WWE does anything to battle racism.
