I was thinking you always hear about some wrestlers who aren't afraid to knock Vincent Kennedy McMahon. However his father seems untouchable. I've been reading Dynamite Kid's book lately and even he only has good things to say about Vince Sr.
So has anyone ever gone one record and knocked him?

Bruno Sammartino sued Vince Sr. back in the 70s To be fair, it seems like Bruno has had a beef with everyone. |

Bruno Sammartino sued Vince Sr. back in the 70s That's fascinating. And funny: imagine what would happen if every wrestler sued their promoter for shortchanging them on the gate? Shit, it happens to everyone, doesn't it? |

Hogan hasn't really said anything bad about Vince Sr beyond the fact he was fired from the WWWF for taking the role in Rocky III.

Bruno Sammartino sued Vince Sr. back in the 70s Bruno seems to hold a grudge about every Tom, Dick, and Harry who wrongs him. |

I think Vince himself didn't appreciate his father who was hardly around to raise him.

Didn't Verne Gagne not get along with him?

I think Vince himself didn't appreciate his father who was hardly around to raise him. Yeah, I was going to post this. Vince Jr gives his dad due recognition, but he does seem to be the main one to have any criticisms. The thing here is that Vince Jr funnels so much criticism from wrestlers, that anyone who knew his dad will inevitably compare approaches to the business. |

I'm sure there's quite a lot of people out there that curse Vince Sr. for conceiving Vince Jr. Does that count?

Last I remember I think fans and promoters appreciated the fact that Vince Sr. respected the competition and didn't want to put anyone out of business.

I think even though Bruno sued him, he still respected Vince Sr. I have a hard time believing that Jr. doesn't have a little bit of hard feelings towards his dad. I mean his dad left him in Eastern NC, where he lived in a trailer park and his stepfather beat him. That being said, I've never heard anyone badmouth Sr. Everyone from Ken Patera to Bad News Brown seemed to like him a lot.
