McMAHON & WWE ARE ON THE ROPES!

Book exposes sordid history of cover-ups, sex & drugs!

ADAMNING new book body-slams the WWE, ripping the lid off the death, drugs and sex scandals in Vince McMahon’s shockingly sordid world of profession­al wrestling!

Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of

America puts the scandal-scarred CEO back on the ropes months after his return from a selfimpose­d, one-year exile for paying $3 million in hush money to a female employee following a torrid extramarit­al affair!

The explosive book shines a spotlight on the scandals that have plagued McMahon and the WWE since he took over the organizati­on from his father, Vince Sr., in the 1980s. Author Abraham Josephine Riesman holds McMahon responsibl­e for the infamous 1999 death of beloved wrestler Owen Hart, when a harness used to lower him to the ring broke and he plummeted 70 feet from the rafters of a Kansas City arena in front of a horrified packed house. Hart died later that night. The author charges McMahon hired a rookie technician with “significan­tly less” experience and then stunningly refused to cancel the rest of the show after the deadly accident!

“The rest of the wrestlers had to perform, knowing their friend was gravely injured, probably dead,” writes Riesman.

The author also claims McM McMahon played an active role in a cover-up of domestic abuses against his girlfriend Nancy Argentino by late wrestler Superfly Jimm Jimmy Snuka, a notorious cocaine addict! Riesman writes Vince “tried to talk” Nancy out of filing a complaint — and a few months later, when Nancy was found dead a coroner recommende­d the tragedy be investigat­ed as a homicide. Prosecutor­s inexplicab­ly dropped the case!

Riesman points out Snuka wrote in a memoir that charges against him disappeare­d after Vince brought a mysterious suitcase to a meeting with authoritie­s after Nancy’s death. Snuka was eventually charged with murder in 2015, but found unfit for trial. He died two years later.

The book also details a shocking alleged pedophile ring cover-up in the mid1990s, when former ring boy Tom Cole alleged two

WWE officials offered him a promotion in exchange for sex! After being fired for refusing, Cole sued the WWE and settled for his job back and $55,000 in damages — but took his own life in 2021.

“The WWE tries to present itself as family entertainm­ent, but it’s had a seedy underbelly since Day One of Vince McMahon’s reign,” a source exclusivel­y snitches to The National ENQUIRER.

“He’s put the organizati­on up for sale and insiders are hoping for a fresh start!”
