Brodie Lee Says He Wanted To Get Away From Parodying Vince McMahon

Brodie Lee worked for Vince McMahon for many years, so he knows all about his quirks and character traits. After debuting in AEW as “The Exalted One,” he would feature in vignettes that appeared t be parodying WWE’s head honcho. In one, he would eat a streak, Vince McMahon’s food of choice, and reprimand Alex Reynolds for sneezing in front of him, as Vince McMahon can not tolerate sneezing. It was amusing, and fans quickly got the joke.

Now speaking to Wrestling Inc, Brodie Lee has shared that he never intended his character to be seen as a Vince McMahon parody and did want fans to think he was a bitter former employee.

Obviously, there was a couple of little Easter eggs and things that people could very easily pick up on, but as a whole, the character was never meant to be a Vince McMahon parody. But there was definitely a couple jabs his way in the early going. Once I realized that that was everything that people were going to talk about, I wanted to get away from that as quickly as possible because I wanted it to be more about me, more about my identity, and more about my journey to where we’re going. I didn’t want to be seen as that bitter ex-employee. I don’t want that label on me whatsoever.Brodie Lee

That said, some opportunities are too good to pass up, and with all the contention regarding WWE banning talent from working with third parties, Lee would take another jab. He’d ask Evil Uno what his Twitch username was during this week’s Being The Elite, and after being told, would reply saying, “not any f*cking more.”
