Okay, so it's not THAT crazy but Vince McMahon having no idea what the Burchill gimmick was because he'd never seen Pirates of the Carribean and then, after having it explained to him, assuming no one ELSE had seen it either is one of my favorite crotchety old vince stories.

I like that vince is like the real life Mr. Burns from the Simpsons.
It would be amazing if he just randomly forgot who s wrestler was despite being booked in numerous angles with him

I imagine some of the craziest stories would have come from creative meetings.
Like when Vince told Ron Simmons that he was going to be a Roman gladiator with an Islamic name wearing a blue helmet, or telling Dusty Rhodes that his attire would be polka dots, or Ricky Steamboat that he was going to actually dress like a dragon and breathe fire.

I wish Taker would talk about what he thought when Vince pitched the idea of an old west zombie mortician to him.

I'm still enamored with the fact that Vince and R-Truth are supposedly good friends and Vince lets him travel with him on his private jet.

The story where he didn't realize Jimmy Wang Yang hadn't worked for WWE for about a year when he randomly bumped into him backstage.

I think it was Jensen Karp that talked about how Vince's favorite movie was There's Something About Mary and the guys in creative knew this and would steal jokes from that movie when pitching ideas to Vince and Vince thought they were hilarious, then a few months later when he (Jensen) tried to pitch something, and to try to make sure that it got on air, he included a joke from There's Something About Mary. Vince didn't laugh, and told them if they were going to steal jokes they needed to steal jokes from Old Dogs, they then realized Vince had a new favorite movie.

Dan Madigan's "Burrito Story" is so hilarious, in that it's a small, insignificant event that nevertheless is hugely revealing about Vince McMahon as a person. During a creative meeting, they were coming up with an angle in which, as part of Big Show's next feud, someone would spike his burrito. Vince looks at them and says "Burrito!? Who the hell knows what a burrito is!?" When the writers acknowledged that all of them, in fact, knew what a burrito was, Vince goes "Well, where the hell have I been?" And THEN, he started having burritos for lunch at the office regularly afterwards...except not. Madigan would see his secretary bringing him what was not a burrito, but was in fact simply a steak-wrap cut in half, which Vince would put ketchup on, all the while thinking that what he was eating was what a burrito was. It's a real shame that we'll probably never get a Vince biography or autobiography. The dude is fascinating. We BETTER get either a biography or autobiography someday. Hell, I'm not just interested in Vince as a wrestling personality or a famous person. As a psychology student, I'm interested in him as a case study. The guy's mind and psyche must be labyrinthine. Freud would have a bonanza with him.

I seem to recall RD Reynolds himself quoting an unnamed former WWE employee who said that when Vince was dreaming up the Katie Vick storyline he would randomly shout "I screwed your brains out!" and laugh to himself.

If there's a WWE endorsed one it will leave out his flaws and if its not WWE endorsed it will probably not be that accurate. I'm hoping that he has been writing an autobiography to be published after he's gone.

The man probably has more dirty laundry than the Kennedy and Nixon Administrations combined.

The story Low Ki told one time - basically on NXT2, Vince told all the rookies that one of them would have to go out there and kiss Michelle McCool in the ring. Then Kaval and some others spot 'Taker storming out of Vince's office, throwing chairs and calling bullshit. The rookies don't wanna do anything to upset a veteran like 'Taker but don't want to disobey Mr. McMahon. When they actually get to the ring, all nervous about what's gonna happen, some fat chick comes out and makes out with the rookies (I didn't see this, but I think it happened). When Kaval and the other rookies get backstage, they're greeted by Vince and Undertaker laughing hysterically at their rib.
I can't remember where I heard this.

Vince McMahon a man who doesn't have lots of time to watch movies or follow pop culture trend randomly hears about Old Dogs and watches it of curiosity becoming his all time favorite movie is just so hilarious to me. Then how he shuns his favorite past movie. f*** I love this thread so much.

Nothing tops his phobia of sneezes. Of all things, he's afraid of a normal human bodily function. Try to wrap your head around that. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) I hate sneezing too. It kind of hurts my shoulder muscles sometimes on top of the reason Vince supposedly hates them.
