-challenging Court Bauer to a drag race then attempting to drive him off the road and kill him when Court started getting ahead.
-having a mini nervous breakdown when Dan Madigan pitched a gimmick of a Nazi wrestler with Paul Heyman as his manager
The Dan Madigan Nazi story is just gut-bustingly awesome. I wish someone had had a hidden camera at that meeting, just to capture everything (not only Vince's amazing reaction, but Madigan getting all excited acting it out, to the point of goose-stepping around the meeting room).
The thing that's really weird, though, is that even though Vince was, allegedly, so shocked by the Nazi idea, he, according to Madigan in another story, didn't have any problem with another offensive World War II relic gimmick: Hirohito.
Apparently, when the WWE signed Kenzo Suzuki, they wanted him to be the descendent of Emperor Hirohito, who was out to get revenge on America for Japan's defeat and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They shot a whole debut video package for him, complete with old footage of the A-bomb over Hiroshima, along with a pair of "Asian eyes" looking menacingly over them. Vince actually LIKED the idea, approved it, and had the package played on an episode of RAW.
Apparently, the actual, real-life Japanese imperial family got word of this, and to Vince's shock, they heard from their lawyers, who were protesting the character and threatening to sue. Madigan came to him with the news that apparently, someone in the Japanese imperial family watches WWE and was telling them to stop with the Hirohito character.
Vince was surprised, and said "I didn't even know there WAS a Japanese royal family!" "Me neither!" Said Madigan. Which, as an aside, I can't get my head around: they were making a wrestling character based off of the historical
Emperor of Japan!! How could you not know, then, that Japan has a royal/imperial dynasty!?
On top of that, Vince goes on to yell at Madigan and ask him why he went ahead with this gimmick. When Madigan replied that Vince had just approved the gimmick and told him it was okay, Vince goes "Well, dammit, why do you ever listen to me!?"
