Slim Jim gave the following quote to John Pollock of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postwrestling.com\/2024\/01\/26\/slim-jim-announces-pause-on-promotional-activities-with-wwe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Post Wrestling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Slim Jim values integrity and respect in all of our partnerships. Given the recent disturbing allegations against Vince McMahon, at this time we&#8217;ve decided to pause our promotional activities with WWE. This decision reflects our commitment to our brand values and responsibility to our community.
