Vince is f***ing amazing.
I would love to see a "day in the life" of Vince documentary to see the crazy shit go down.

I skipped the story because I'm geting the book and want to read it then.
But, thanks to this thread I know the book is already out, I had no idea.

Vince is definitely the best fake tough guy ever.

Vince is definitely the best fake tough guy ever. Vince has the same attitude as someone who has nothing to lose and absolutely everything to gain, and rule number one of fighting is never getting into a scrap with someone who never has anything to lose, even if you're better than them they'll still crawl after you for miles and bite your ankles after they blow both quads.

I am so glad I clicked this thread.
Both the story and photo of Vince's T-Rex head have caused me to have the widest smile ever. I've been laughing so much it hurt.

I get cranky sometimes, thinking about decisions Vince has made over the years, and then stories like this come along and I'm reminded again how fond I really am of the crazy old bastard, haha.

As a mark, I wasn't fond of Vince.
But, as a nerd, he is arguably one of the most eccentric, crazy, interesting men I've ever heard about. If they do a non-kayfabe book with him writing his real exploits, like his fascination with pigs, apes, and babies, as well as his love of the color gold & his feelings about in-ring debut in 1999, I'd read it.
Personally, I cannot wait to read the chapter "CM Drunk" in Jericho's book.

You know... I'd pay to see Vince, Malenko, Finlay, and Jericho take on Rouke's posse. I have a feeling Finlay could take down a guy. Well yeah, clonk anyone in the head with a Shillelagh and they'll go down! I'd like to think Vince knew who he was though. And he then called Ken Shamrock up and they both bitched about Frank. Wait...what? Is this true? I so desperately want it to be true. The image of Vince McMahon sitting at his desk with the skull of a Tyrannosaurus hanging behind it is way too funny not to be. He also tweeted a picture of it once saying it was "Symbolic of his voracious appetite for life." I believe HHH bought it for him for one of his birthdays. So yeah, they're all insane. I just love this quote from a Forbes article earlier on Vince:

My feelings towards Vince are strange
I hate him, but also love him.

I believe Dean and Fit could have taken them, honestly. Even the Israeli guy.

You know, in the same way that Triple H has in some way mended his reputation with sections of the audience by showing how much he cares about wrestling and respecting indie talent, I think all Vince would have to do is write an exhaustive biography that shows us the Vince we see here in Jericho's story, and all would be forgiven. Vince is extremely flawed and seems to have almost psychotic tendencies, but my god he has lived an interesting life. You see this guy who is crying at his wife's senatorial concession speech, laughing away with R-Truth of all people, calling his yacht "Sexy Bitch", drag racing his employees, showing teenage girls how to properly strip tease, developing an odd obsession with snow cones,and a guy who put his entire livelihood on the line to create Wrestlemania.....and you just want to meet, talk to, and listen to every story the he has. Vince will never be considered an entertainment icon in the mainstream's eyes because of wrestling's stigma, but is there seemingly anybody as unique, driven, successful, and overly batshit insane as Vince is in the entertainment world? I love it, and in a weird way makes me proud to be a wrestling fan. If Vince never writes his biography we'll have lost a huge chunk of American history. Dead serious. He has been there and seen it all. Nobody has his perspective.

Jericho's books seem to be a great source of information on Vince. I believe it was his second book that revealed there are two things in life that Vince loves more than anything else: babies and apes.

I can guarantee you without a doubt Vince McMahon will never write his biography.

Is Jericho's new book more like the first one which was more or less a wrestling book or is it like the second one where he talks as much about Fozzy and music?

Now I just have this vision of Vince punching the Israeli Bounty Hunter in the throat while shouting "You're a bounty hunter? Well, in America, we call our bounty hunter's 'Dog.' So how about you bark for me. You BARK LIKE A DOG!"
And then the Bounty Hunter does.
Because Vince McMahon.
