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! That is amazing. Remembered another one. Vince crowing like a rooster to show Terry Taylor how it's supposed to be done. |

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. "It's one of these stories that always repeats itself. I think the idea was they were trying to work an angle with Big Show and - like Andre (the Giant), here's a guy who is so physically big and physically imposing - what can you do to get over on Big Show? And how are you going to do it? "I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: 'We're going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.' So, Vince goes, 'Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?' It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, 'Well, we know what a burrito is.' And Vince goes, 'Well, where the hell have I been?' "But, the funny thing is, Wade, every day at noon, Vince's secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that's the idea - when you're in a bubble and in a business where you're ostracized from society, it's you and them, that's it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world." |

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" What if Vince uncontrollably books terribly? Vince: "God dammit, I can't keep pushing Reigns this way, the fans hate it!" Triple H: "Well, why don't you just stop?" Vince: "DAMMIT, MAKE REIGNS LOOK STRONG YOU BIG-NOSED SON OF A BITCH!" |

Vince shitting himself, gleefully telling everyone around him about it. Then putting his soiled underwear on a stick and chasing Pat Patterson Gerald Brisco around the building with it. You have a weird definition of endearing.  |

All these stories have reminded me of the segment with Vince, Mr America (who was not obviously not Hulk Hogan) and the lie detector.

Has there been a promoter as batshit crazy as Vince? Besides Inoki and Herb Adams. For entirely different reasons, Rob Black did a publicity stunt threatening to feed a dog to a snake (Messiah went on the record and said it was a publicity stunt and that Rob loved animals) and after getting threats actually had his employees dress up in fake police officer outfits and let himself get beat up with night sticks (and recorded it on web cam) in order to blame police brutality on the L.A.P.D. Paid New Jack in free porn. Deliberately used footage from a local fed only to berate them on air on an episode as "The So-Cal Jobbers". Recorded a promo during an angle where he had a stroke where Angel moved his arms like a doll to "Barbie Girl". Filmed a couple segments with a black Santa and Japanese businessman doll with stereotypical accents and aired them on XPW TV. |

When Triple H and Chris Jericho were figuring out how to get on top of the Hell in a Cell at Judgment Day 2002, Vince had just seen Spider-Man and asked if they could web swing up to the top of the Cell.

 I can picture Vince looking over to that skull right around the time Jurassic Park movies came out and thinking to himself "Yes...YES I'VE GOT IT DAMMIT! Dinosaurs are hot right now...I want a wrestling T-REX. Get me some shlub from the indies and put him in some dinosaur suit! I want him to growl and shreik and pretend his arms are really short...we can team him with MANTAUR!" THEY'LL BE THE DINOSAURIC DUO! Brisco let's go find some Dino costumes pronto! WE CAN TAKE THE SPRUCE MOOSE...HOP IN! |

XPW the only promotion fans will never want on the network and will actively cancel if it ever gets on. |

Rob Black was also (99% sure) the person who hire two thugs to break into Messiah's home and the event ended up with him losing a thumb.

Wasn't there a story about him and Jimmy Wang Yang about "WELL HE SHOULD WORK HERE!" or some such? I believe the story was. Jimmy Yang was backstage trying to get tickets for a show. Vince saw him while he was discussing the spirit squad finisher and asked Jimmy if he would take what they were describing so he could see it. Someone told him that Jimmy didn't work there anymore... and Vince immediately offered him a contract. |

Vince Loves Apes. The mental image of Vince, giddy with joy, as Jericho comes back from the ring having done the Planet of the Apes promo against Stephanie is just fantastic. 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! "FIRE UP THE BABBAGE CALCULATING MACHINE!" |
