What Vince said to Christian before his Summerslam 2013 bout

[Deleted]

On a recent episode of E & C’s Pod of Awesomeness, Edge and Christian both shared stories of the motivational skills of Vince McMahon. We previously covered what Vince told Edge before he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract for the first time (which you can check out here).

Christian shared a similar story of motivation from Vince before his match at Summerslam (2013) against Alberto Del Rio.

“I was standing at the curtain, right before I wrestled Del Rio at Summerslam for the world title. They did this big video package on my career, really gave the feeling it was an important match. I was standing there and watching the video because I hadn’t seen it. All of a sudden I feel this presence beside me. I turn my head and Vince’s head is right there. He whispers to me ‘I dare you to steal the show”

Christian probably thought "not with Bryan/Cena and Punk/Lesnar on the show old man" lol.

Christian leaves out the part where vince calls him "dolph" after telling him to "steal the show"

[The Yes Man]

On any other show that year it would have, but Lesnar/Punk and Bryan/Cena were both out of this world. Christian vs Del Rio was still a freaking awesome match though.

"See what happens if you try to steal the show, you ugly bastard." *turns around* "DUNN! WHERE'S MY BLUE DOT?!"

He nearly did though. Plus it was DB wrestling a one armed Cena

[Juice]

He probably says that to all the blue dots in the back.

He probably says that to everyone wrestling Del Rio, cause Berto can't carry a tune in the ring.

"I dare you to steal the show......with a blue dot over your face. Just a thought."

Man, it's unfair what a good show SummerSlam 2013 was. I think the only PPVs since that have been as good have been Mania 30 and Backlash 2016.

[Kevin Hamilton]

"Amnesty International is onto you. Let those Malaysians go."

[HMARK Center]

I'm sure Vince meant it earnestly, but I can't help imagining Christian saying "he's right, I'm gonna steal the show!", doing so, then getting to the back and hearing Vince is pissed because now the main event didn't look as good, because Lunatic Vince is my permanent headcanon.

Seemed like that moment meant a lot to Christian. Sign of respect from Vince.

And both of them got more than double the time for their matches.

Christian's response:

"You bet I will. But just in case I don't, would you please just give me ... One More Match?"
