<p>The world of professional wrestling was rocked last week when longtime WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/vince-mcmahon-retires-from-wwe-amid-misconduct-scandal-news.155354.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">announced his retirement </a>in the midst of a controversy stemming from accusations of workplace misconduct and<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/vince-mcmahon-reportedly-paid-4-women-s12-million-to-stay-silent-about-misconduct-news.154751.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> hush money payouts. </a>Responding to McMahon&#8217;s departure from the WWE, 2x Hall of Fame member Ric Flair spoke with respect about his former boss.</p>

<p>&#8220;I think he&#8217;s one of a kind and I&#8217;ve said this,&#8221; Flair said to TMZ Sports earlier this week. &#8220;He&#8217;s made so many people rich and he&#8217;s literally has made chicken salad out of a lot of chicken s**t. Mojo knows what I&#8217;m talking about. He&#8217;s made a lot of people rich.&#8221;</p>
<p>McMahon is currently under <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/vince-mcmahon-retires-from-wwe-amid-misconduct-scandal-news.155354.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">investigation </a>due to allegations that McMahon paid millions to three former employees and one contractor to cover up his sexual misconduct.</p>
<p>&#8220;I mean they&#8217;re just trying to murder him now and who knows and all,&#8221; Flair said. &#8220;I&#8217;m certainly not defending anything that&#8217;s negative and I&#8217;m not taking a side on the issue that apparently has been brought up, but I know as a person and what he did for me, there&#8217;s nobody like him.&#8221;</p>

<p>Controversy aside, McMahon&#8217;s story is one of rags-to-riches and undeniable salesmanship. He grew up in an impoverished trailer park in North Carolina. After college, he worked for his father&#8217;s small wrestling company. Over the next few years, McMahon bought his father&#8217;s company along with several other small wrestling organizations to form the WWE. After signing stars like Hulk Hogan, WWE exploded and became an international sensation. Forbes listed McMahon as a billionaire in 2000 shortly after WWE went public.</p>
<p>As for Flair, the star will be competing in his final match in his illustrious career this Saturday in a tag team match alongside his son-in-law.</p>
