Ronda Rousey called Vince McMahon an ‘80 year old pervert’ when reflecting on her WWE tenure.
On The Lapsed Fan podcast, Ronda Rousey looked back on her heel turn segment with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. She explained that how Triple H came up with the idea of using a bent armbar as her finisher.
“That was actually Triple H that came up with that, as being the mock armbar finisher. But, it’s also, like, you could see people laying back and they’re arching on the arm and they’re holding it straight and they’re holding it right from the if you actually took it, it would break.”
“Yes (you can blame Triple H for the bent armbar). But how do you really the one time I did do it when I leaned back on it straight was me and Becky (Lynch) … I think it was my heel turn or whatever and I felt like it had much more impact then.”
Rousey blamed Vince McMahon for pushing her to apply the move over and over during the segment which frustrated Nia Jax. “But, freakin’ Vince (McMahon) liked it so much, he was like, ‘Armbar her again! Armbar her again! Armbar her again!’… I know when Nia Jax is all pissed at me afterward.”
She said Nia Jax felt it hurt the armbar’s credibility after spending a year building it as Rousey’s top finisher. Rousey also felt like she was helpless in trying to defy orders, referring to McMahon as an 80-year-old “pervert on the phone.”
“She was like, ‘We spent all year selling the hell out of this armbar and you just did three of ‘em to Becky like it was nothing.’ I’m like, ‘Dude, I’m like an avatar for a f*cking 80-year-old f*cking pervert on the phone, alright? I have no say in this. What are we supposed to do?’” [H/T: Fightful]
Rousey also went on to say that working in WWE under McMahon was a “complete shitshow.”
