Contrary to what CM Punk would have you believe, Vince McMahon has always loathed ‘yes men’, according to WWE Hall of Famer Gerald Brisco.
On a recent edition of the “Under the Ring” podcast, Brisco was asked about his tenure working with the WWE/TKO Group Chairman. He said,
“Vince McMahon hated yes guys. I mean, he had them. Yeah, he had them, but did he depend on them? No. He depended on more of the guys, like Pat Patterson … and Bruce Prichard. Bruce Prichard is not a yes-man.”
During his 2011 pipebomb promo, CM Punk infamously claimed that Vince McMahon surrounds himself with “glad-handed, nonsensical, d*uchebag yes men like John Laurinaitis.”
