Saying "I never liked Vince McMahon" is tantamount to saying "I never liked wrestling past the 70's".
Regardless of what brand you watched, it was likely influenced most by Vince McMahons "style" of "wrestling entertainment", even when they were still calling it a sport.
I dont like Dana white, but I love MMA. Its the same thing with Vince. Yeah I give him credit for doing what he did for wrestling, but at the same time, I cant respect a guy that wants to run a monopoly and pushes people that are kissing his ass. I just dont like people in power like that.
so its not like I'm saying "I dont like todays wrestling".
I was into the NWA more than the WWF, but yeah, WWF was the "main stage", so you cant totally leave it out.
His ideas and influences are different than his control and ego.
