Former Vince McMahon employee in WWE details how the 79-year-old wanted to be perceived backstage

A former WWE employee has shared how Vince McMahon wanted to be perceived backstage. The former CEO was known to have a very intimidating presence.

The star in question is none other than Matt Hardy. Hardy had a great run in WWE where he won numerous titles, including the tag team title 10 times. He then had a stint in TNA and AEW. After leaving All Elite Wrestling, the star has once again landed himself in TNA. He spent his best years under Vince McMahon and saw firsthand how he was the boss behind the scenes.

Hardy was speaking on his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast when he said that he thought Mr McMahon wanted people to be intimidated by him.

"I think he wanted people to know he was the boss. I think he wanted people to be half-a** intimidated by him, and I think he wanted people to be nervous around him. And I think he enjoyed that power." [H/T Wrestling Inc]
