- Vince getting drunk and taking a bunch of finishers onto a strip club stage and a drunk Neidhart sizing him up to take the Hart Attack.
- Vince, Jericho and Kofi drinking JD on a flight and Vince mocking Kofi for not being over, so Jericho goaded Kofi into confronting Vince and getting into a wrestling match.
- Vince claiming he could snort any amount of coke he wanted and not feel any side effects during a meeting at the Allentown takings back in the 80s.
- Pitching a storyline where he was the father of Stephanie's first child.
- This may be more Ole than Vince, but after Vince bought the GCW timeslot, an enraged Ole left his mothers deathbed to confront him at the Techwood Drive studios. Knowing Ole was now powerless, he offered Ole a job essentially as an opener and stuck out his hand for a shake with a smile. Ole responded "f*** you, and your wife." Vince thought that was hilarious, laughed and walked off. Oles found himself persona non gratis since Bischoff fired him in 1993.

Vince sees sneezing as a weakness.
That story always makes me laugh.

According to one former WWE writer Kash and I know, at least during that period, Vince showed up at Titan Tower every day with BTO's "Taking Care of Business" blaring. You know what? So would I Also, I find these stories about Vince kinda adorable

SNEEZING IS FOR THE WEAK!

My favorite is Jericho saying about how stupid his scarf looked, and hating scarves.
Naturally, there was actually a thread where Jericho was posted, and many of the comments were in fact about how stupid he looked in a picture where he was wearing a scarf. Maybe Vince was onto something, since it actually seemed unrelated to the Vince story.

To be fair, he also looked a lot better wearing it than Jericho does wearing a scarf and a t-shirt.

I like the one where he and the Hulkster locked themselves in a room with a bunch of blow for a weekend and came up with No Holds Barred.

Jericho tells Vince about a dream he had where Vince convinced him to wrestle the Loch Ness Monster. Jericho was worried about the finish where he was to swallowed alive, but Vince said he had done it himself earlier and it wasn't a problem. Jericho goes on to describe the match to Vince. After he's done all Vince says is, "Loch Ness Monster? Is he available?" and sauntered off.

Big Show talking on his documentary about how he got his name a month or so after his debut: Show: *stands around backstage* Vince: "Hey, Big Show!" Show: "Who's Big Show?" Vince: "You are!" *walks away* Show: "...Okay" I heard a Taker interview once and he told kind of the same story. Basiccally after Taker left WCW he had a meeting with Vince to try to have a job but Vince told him he had nothing for him at the moment. Taker was then unemployed for a while and weeks/months later he received a mystery phone call at his house with somebody he didn't know asking him "Hey is this the Undertaker? Are you the Undertaker?" Taker was like who the f*** is it and it turns out that it was Vince who called to offer him the job. Also, Vince called in Paul Bearer when they were looking for someone for that character, and looking at his resume. He starts laughing when he sees Paul had actual funeral home experience, since he had no idea beforehand. Thing is, though, he doesn't even explain to Paul why he is laughing, since he doesn't know anything about the potential character yet, so Bearer is left wondering why Vince thought him working at a funeral home was hysterical.

Dropping the Headbangers off on the steps of a church, dressed as drag queen nuns and driving by laughing hysterically.
There's more to the story, that's all I really can recall. Thrasher told it on Art of Wrestling.

Found others: - Cornette told a story about how Vince called the cable company, and when the repair person got there, Vince told him that the sound wasn't working on his cable. After awhile the repair person came up to Vince and showed him the mute button on the remote control "If you press this, it turns the sound on and off." The mute was just on. Vince gave him a $100. - CM Punk told a story of when he, the Undertaker, JBL, Edge, and Vince (I think that's who was there) all had to room together when they were doing Tribute to the Troops, and Punk couldn't sleep because everyone was snoring, except for Vince, who kept laughing at his own farts. - And, alas: pwchronicle.blogspot.com/2006/01/history-vince-mcmahons-troubled-1998.html

I like the first half better when Vince answers almost every question with a joke he obviously assumes is a perfect 10.

I loved the shoot interview that Triple H did, I think with Opie and Anthony, about the Katie Vick angle. They shot that in a funeral home, in the one room they booked - so a funeral is going on next door. Triple H is trying to be reasonably quiet while humping this corpse, and then Vince is shouting LOUDER DAMMIT, so Triple H goes louder and someone comes and knocks and asks them to keep it down and be respectful, Vince is hugely apologetic, before going back to LOUDER DAMMIT.

When Jericho was champion he was hearing rumours they wanted to pull the belt off him and everyone hated him. Finally Jericho snaps and says to Vince "Go f*** yourself!" Vince gets a giant smile on his face, "Now that's what I wanted!" Patterson comes up to him later and says, "Vince won't stop putting you over. What did you say to him?" Jericho goes "I told him to go f*** himself"

-Back during the Raw guest host Vince wanted to bring in Ray Combs as guest host. Combs hosted Family Feud from 1988-1994 and during that time period had done a WWE vs WBF series in 1992. For Survivor Series 1993 Combs was a special guest interviewer and ring announcer. What Vince had no idea of though was that Ray Combs was dead and had been dead for some 13 years.
-Vince McMahon wanted to do a storyline that involved a stalker. Dusty Rhodes told Vince that they had done a stalker angle in 2001 but Vince did not remember it. What is really funny about this was that when the stalker angle was going on Dusty Rhodes was not in the WWE. Even funnier was that rather than using DDP's voice for the staler they used someone else's voice. The person who provided their voice for the stalker was none other than Vince McMahon.

What I'm learning is that Vince McMahon the character is actually a less eccentric version of the real guy. And it's a guy I really want to hang out with.
