Several northeastern wrestlers attempted to raise funds for Bam Bam Bigelow's New Jersey Funeral. Wild Samoan Afa contacted Vince McMahon, who agreed to pay for the funeral. A second funeral for Bigelow, in Flordia, was funded by local wrestlers in the area. Bigelow's New Jersey funeral was attended by the likes of Mick Foley, Diamond Dallas Page and Brother Ray from Team 3D.

I wish he'd do it for some of the guys that didn't save money.

As much as we complain about Vince, this was really nice of him, and I don't really think he's the kind that would go bragging about it

As much as all the stories of Vince being an egotistical self righteous bastard come out (and we all take them as fact because so many people say them), he does stay loyal to a certain extent so some guys.

I really don't know what to make of Vince at times.

See, it's things like this that really make it hard to nail down Vince's personality. Mick Foley and Steve Austin talk about him like he's a saint, Roddy Piper's opinion of Vince changes almost everytime I read an interview of his, and so many guys talk so much crap about Vince it's ridiculous.

I saw this on Gerweck's site and hoped there was a thread up already.
After reading this, I think a lot of people on here really need to lay off Vince for a while. I think he deserves at least a week without any negative comments.
Agreed?

see we only know vince as a buisness man, i mean the buisness is his life. thats it. from the time he wakes up in the morning by the time he goes to bed its wrestling, not sport entertainment. so this shows that he isn't just worried about Sabu sleeping backstage or Big dave beating taker at Mania. i mean wrestlers get to go out after a match and hang out. vince has to make sure everything is ok. and i'm sure he has cringe benefits, but most of his life is spent thinking abotu his product.
this is a nice depature of vince.
