The allegations have led to a variety of new looks at McMahon’s history in WWE, and now one of the more well known names in company history is weighing in.

Former WWE writer Vince Russo appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored and spoke about his time working under McMahon. Russo spoke about various women in the company being forced into segments where McMahon would either grope or kiss them without being able to say no. He would not want to write women into such segments with McMahon as they would feel forced to follow the instructions out of fear for their job.

Women in WWE have come a long way. Check out what they have been doing lately:

Opinion: Russo is a controversial figure in wrestling history but he is someone who would have an idea of what was going on with McMahon in such situations. At the end of the day, there were some terrible moments involving McMahon back in the day and thankfully he is no longer able to do it over and over. Russo’s stories are not surprising and unfortunately he is not the only one to say similar things went down.
