Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon's legal issues, allegations of sexual misconduct, tens of millions in hush money payments, and even allegations of sex trafficking make the soap opera theatrics of his average WWE event look tame. He's also an all-time strange character, regarding whom seemingly thousands of bizarre, maybe-true, maybe-not tales are all over the internet. Producer note: this episode was recorded PRIOR to additional allegations against Vince McMahon coming out. Scumbags of History is a production of Voyage Media and Enthusiast Gaming. The series is produced by Nat Mundel, and Dan Benamor (Voyage Media), J.B. Elliott, Roarke Boes, and Amanda Scherker (Enthusiast Gaming) and Samuel Levine. Executive Produced and hosted by Brittany Schmitt and Mateen Stewart. Showrunner: Joe Borden. Original Concept: Amanda Scherker. Research: Amanda Scherker and Dan Benamor. Technical Producer and Editor: A.J. Moseley. Theme song by Derlis Gonzalez and Morgan Jay. Special thanks to Mike Nell, recorded at Second Floor Studios.
