In Foley's first book, he talked about a time when he was really injured and needed to take time off. He called Vince and asked. He heard Vince ruffling through a calendar, then Vince said "There's a weekend in May you can have off" or something short like that. Foley was about to freak out when he then heard "huh uhuhhuh" and then Vince told him he could take as much as he needed. Are you saying Vince laughed like Butthead?

I don't have time to read through 4 pages so this may have already been said.
Austin asked Vince for a loan to buy a new house. When Austin tried to pay him back,. Vince said he's already made enough money off of Steve so he didn't have to pay him back.

He kept Matt Capotelli employed for years while he was sidelined with brain cancer.

There's always been an issue I've had with Vince not asking wrestlers to do stuff that he wouldn't. Just what is Vince not willing to do? He had his head shoved in Big Show's ass and he tried out the harness Owen used first so I'd say nothing.

Pretty sure I've heard when Mick and Funk were pushed off the ramp in a dumpster, Vince took the ride first, just to see.

I don't know if there was ever a definitive reason for Randy Savage never coming back before his death, if the feud rumors were true, it makes the tribute video on Raw extra special.

This was also in the Crazy Vince one but I love how Jimmy Wang Yang got rehired because Vince forget they fired him and hired him back on the spot. He must be a pretty nice guy to rehire someone he fired less than a year ago simply because he forgot.

He allowed a drunken LOD to give him a doomsday device.

He allowed a drunken LOD to give him a doomsday device. I heard it was a baby tap and he was lowered safely to the floor. Then Bret said "The Foundation would have done it" So Jim picked up Vince and Bret nailed him. Vince just said "You owe me a beer Hitman.

He had his head shoved in Big Show's ass and he tried out the harness Owen used first so I'd say nothing. He tried out Shawn's harness, but if he tried out Owen's harness, that would have come up in the lawsuits since it would be evidence that WWE believed the harness was safe.

There's footage of him doing it. It was posted on here a couple years ago. But maybe it was the HBK one.

Yeah, we've all seen that on the True Story of Mania DVD/Blu, but if Vince did this before OTE, it would have come up before now.

In Martha Hart's book she says that Owen skipped rehearsal for the stunt so it was tested with a sandbag the same weight as Owen.
