Vince's greatest talent is that despite everyone knowing he's 100% in charge of everything that happens in the company, he's able to convince people that whatever bad thing happened to them totally wasn't his fault and he's still their best friend.

Here's a quote I found from 2018 by Sabu that he posted on Facebook, after JR had the bad fall where half his face was bruised:

"Why I have beef with Jim Ross?

In 1988 the NWA called my uncle to wrestle in Det. At cobo hall they offered him 10% of the gate or half the gate which ever was the greater the gate drew $200,000.

They gave $10,000 they owe him $100,000. It was him and Dusty’s call to give him 10k. They or Jim Ross owes my family $90,000 so f*ck him f*ck him f*ck Jim Ross i hope he choked on it. I hope he comes near me so I punch his other eye. The next time NWA came to Cobo they drew $40,000 without him on the show.

So f*ck him. He didn’t fall down he got his a** kicked by a chick with a d*ck.”

What speculation? Jericho very openly wrote in his books that he's constantly drunk but not an alcoholic because he only drinks clear booze and even gave his drunken actions an alter ego named Drunkerico.

There's a story where he's so drunk in front of HBKs family that HBK confronts him and tells him he needs to get his poo poo together.

Jericho says "you're right please help me" and HBK refuses saying that that's something he needs to do on his own.

His solution was to only drink plain vodka

To add to the other comments: In one book, he talked about being arrested for drunk driving and how he thought it was bullshit that he had to go to court-mandated AA meetings as part of his sentence. He's not showing up on TV slurring speech like some people have over the years, but based on the guy's own memoir, it's a lot more complicated than "speculation."

I really want to believe he's changed his ways somewhat or sitting at a desk next to JR, given this, seems pretty ghoulish.

Hogan's WCW contract guaranteed him a minimum of $600,000 per pay per view and until mid 1999 it was a very good deal for WCW.

That show drew ~7,000 fans total in 1988. For the show to have drawn $200,000 the average ticket price would've been $28.57, or $62.85 when adjusted for inflation. Not a loving chance.

If a bunch of NBA guys calling him a fatty fat fat is enough to get him to cut back on the sauce and get back in the gym, it will be yet another example of why cyber bullying is always good and works.

gently caress out of here with this poo poo, this is shameful in general but in a wrestling community that this issue has profoundly affected over the years, including the loss of hana kimura this year its particularly disgusting to see.
