Former WWE star recalls memorable moments with Vince McMahon
Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion TJ Perkins, better known as TJP, recently opened up about his interactions with former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon during an interview with That’s Wrestling! The interview provided a glimpse into the relationship between the young star and the legendary wrestling executive.
TJP fondly recalled how he made a point to speak with McMahon regularly during his tenure with WWE, describing the chairman as approachable and down-to-earth. One of the standout aspects of Perkins’ experiences with McMahon was how the Chairman treated him and other talent.
Recalling those moments, he added, “Every time people came in the door, they were surprised. I guess of how accommodating he could be… He would treat you very well and kind of take you by the hand and lead you through what you need to do to be a better professional.”
