Thom Loverro has published a new piece over at The Washington Times on how Vince McMahon changed sports and more. The piece comes after ESPN aired a “30 for 30” special on Vince McMahon’s XFL.
Sam Ford, a research affiliate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s comparative media studies program, commented on the similarities he sees between Vince McMahon’s creation of a wrestling empire and President Donald Trump:

Barnum-like, carnival barker mentality in how both of these worlds were created.”
