Young Shane was afraid of Dracula and thought he was in the closet. “I went in that closet and started growling and yelling, having a battle. I threw a little furniture. Now Shane’s really scared to death, until finally his dad walks out of the closet. I said, “Son, you never have to worry about Dracula again. Dracula’s dead.”

This might be the most heartwarming story to ever involve Vince McMahon.

I am also partial to Mick telling Vince he was needing to retire and that he went over his physical well-being, and was getting into the mental side when Vince told him, "Mick, you just had your last match" and imploring him to not risk it by going further. What ended up pushing it back was Mick wanting to end things differently, but I thought it was nice Vince would have been okay with just letting Mick retire on the spot, even though he was tag champs with Al Snow at the time, I think.

And the most awesome. Vince McMahon vs. Dracula. Money in the frickin' bank right there. They have a film studio, they have no excuses not to do it!

Came to post this one. We give Vince a lot of flack for the current state of the company, but he clearly cares about these people on some level.

Another favorite, Vince wasn't actually present for. Mick was with Terry Funk, and was discussing with Funk a lot of questionable hires in WWF over the years, asking what Vince could have possibly seen in some of them, or ones that were over the hill. Funk, who has known Vince in some capacity for decades, just listened and smiled, and at the end, told Mick, "Mick, sometimes Vince does things just to be nice", I guess knowing Vince doesn't really expect a return on some of his investments.

There was that story about Vince getting annoyed at his writers taking too long bathroom breaks after lunch, so he barged into the bathrooms one day berating them that they take too long to poop, and saying that the max length for a poop break will now be 90 seconds.

That every year he donates his entire wardrobe to the homeless.

Having Jericho be Santa Claus and then having Big Show ask Santa for Chris Jericho to rehired, which somehow led to them being attacked by little people. Before Jericho went out Vince says, "Ugh, my father is rolling over in his grave". After the segment ends Jericho asks, "So, what's your father doing now" Vince says, "He's doing a full on gymnastics routine". Jericho says, "You're the one booking this shit"

I also love Vince telling Jericho he looked like an idiot with a scarf. Later, Jericho did wear a scarf, and there was a thread on here full of people saying he looked awful with it, most of which had no idea about the Vince thing. Vince might have been right that time.

So that hobo army would have actually been dressed in '80s announcer suits then?

Its strange to think that for a guy as seemingly deeply eccentric as Vince is, how he was the one left with the only game in town? You'd think someone like Vince would end up burned out and broke, but he's behind what for most people, essentially IS wrestling.

He's beaten Dracula, God, who's next?

I know that Vince loves snow cones but I guess I'm late to the party. Could someone please give me the full scoop. Also the steak wraps and ketchup I know I heard some of it but if someone could go over it again. I can never have to many Vinnie mac stories. I really really hope he writes a book one day and leaves none of this stuff out.

Also one of my favorite things ever. Is that he has a huge t.rex skull right next to his desk on the wall. So when your having a meeting it looks like a t.rex is about to bite the hell out of you. Someone please post the picture of him next to it.

I love Vince. Seriously. I just want to meet the man before one of us dies.

calling Stevie Richards and Tommy Dreamer to his office because he was convinced they were stealing his protein bars

Not a Vince story, but I loved when Stevie told a story once that Johnny Ace wanted to fire him because he was convinced for weeks, maybe even months, that Stevie was imitating his voice to mock him. It was only after a while that someone explained Stevie had undergone surgery, and that was just what he sounded like.

I've heard these stories but can't remember some so they all need elaborated on.

I love this story that Jim Ross told on his podcast.

He and Vince were discussing the possibility of hiring Gail Kim. Vince wasn't sold on the idea until Ross pointed out that many men find Asian women attractive, and that there's even Asian porn out there. Vince's eyes got wide and he exclaimed, "ASIAN PORN?!"

I bet Vinnie Mac hit up Google right after that meeting!


After the Honda Motor Company pulled its advertising from XFL games, Vince wanted to blow up one of their cars during halftime. NBC Sports president Dick Ebersol reportedly talked him out of it.

Has there been a promoter as batshit crazy as Vince? Besides Inoki and Herb Adams.
