WWE Bans Former Owner Vince McMahon From Its Headquarters
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has increasingly been distancing itself from former owner Vince McMahon after his latest sexual assault allegations and lawsuit, with the man who calls himself the "Genetic Jackhammer" finding himself banned from WWE headquarters entirely, including the gym he designed himself.
This was revealed by WWE employee Tom Carlucci, who has worked in the company since 1987 under Vince McMahon himself. He revealed that while he remains grateful to his former boss for what he did for him, he revealed that McMahon could not even step inside his brainchild.
"I will never ever badmouth [Vince]. Now, what's going on with Vince now, it's a totally different story. There are three sides to every story in my book," he said before addressing the Vince McMahon WWE HQ ban. "He can't even walk in the building... He always wanted us under one roof. That was his dream to have us under one roof. The dream came and he's not even a part of it anymore."
WWE Headquarters was supposed to be Vince McMahon's idea, but thanks to the lawsuit by former employee Janel Grant, he is now banned from ever stepping inside, He is even banned from the gym facility that was designed specifically for him.
"The gym was created for Vince. He designed the gym with his trainer Mike, who I know really well. He can't even go in that gym anymore. He can't step foot anywhere," said Carlucci.
