Former WWE star AJ Francis, also known as Top Dolla, discussed the sex trafficking claims made against Vince McMahon in an interview with WrestlingInc.com.
He said, โDid it surprise me? It surprised me how blatant everything was, but obviously, the allegations are very surprising. But, at the end of the day, Vince is at a point in his life where itโs better for him to have a chance to get his โฆ heโs at a point in his life where heโs in his 70s, you know what Iโm saying? It is time for him to enjoy his life, the rest of his life, and coming back into wrestling caused all of this, these problems. And at the end of the day, if everything that I read is true, thatโs wild, right? Very wild. And I know that other people have said the same thing, like Seth Rollins, but, to me, was I surprised? Absolutely.โ
โSee, people think that I had this crazy relationship with Vince, and Iโve only ever talked to the man three times ever, literally, three times ever. Two times was because I was filming Most Wanted Treasures and he was there while I was filming it, and one time because I stood up for B-Fab when he fired her, which clearly I was right. I donโt really have a relationship with him. People want me to say that I hate his guts or say all these different things, but I donโt have a relationship with him. Yeah, he paid me, but I donโt really have a relationship with him.โ
โAnd this point, itโs like WWE is at a point right now where theyโre so hot and theyโre so on fire. Stories like that just detract away from what theyโre actually doing, and I think itโs a detriment to the success of the company that theyโre doing now, which is why Iโm sure is the reason why he decided to step down. But, at the end of the day, you got guys like Laurinaitis whoโs going out of his way to be like, โYo, just so yโall know, this s*** wasnโt me.โ Thatโs not a good look either. You know what Iโm saying? Thereโs going to be a lot more that unfolds from that story. And I hope that whatever happens, I hope that, if it is proven to be true, that there is justice for the victims, because the victims are the people that weโre not talking enough about. The victims are the people that were put in a situation that they didnโt deserve, and Iโm sure thereโll be more that comes out.โ
