Becky Lynch shares her happy experiences working with Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon is arguably one of the most demanding men in the world. Various past employees have shared their experiences of working with the boss, some good and some not so good. However, Becky Lynch has happy memories with him.
In an interview with Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour, Becky Lynch revealed McMahon always treated her with respect.
"He was so good to me. Vince had a genius about him and he was not the easiest to work with, but he also lived an extremely interesting life, in terms of what he built. So I liked learning from him. I liked talking to him and he’s responsible for all of the things in my life by building WWE. For the most part, we’ve had some ups and downs, but he was always good to me as a person, and always treated me with respect and I felt like I earned a lot of respect from him. Then, you’re hearing this other side, which is not the person that I know, and that’s really hard."
We are just a few weeks away from WrestleMania 40. At the Show of Shows, Becky Lynch will challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Championship.
