One of my favorites came from JBL. JBL had just started the charity for poor kids overseas, something to do with doing sports camps for them, giving them equipment and training and stuff, he did it in I want to say five or six different countries. He goes to Vince, starts pitching and Vince stops him and says, "Whatever you need, I'll do it, just one condition, don't tell people it came from me".

Just a quick question with all these snow cones the genetic jackhammer is eating is there a picture of him with one? I haven't seen it. I think he might consider it his one weakness so he doesn't want any evidence of it. Maybe that's what's in shanes box. I hope I'm wrong and the next post is him with one I want to see it.

It's not really a story as it's on film. But I love at the end of Beyond The Mat when it's wrapping up and talking about Funk returning from retirement, Droz getting paralyzed, ECW going national on TNN, and WWE going public. The last shot is Vince going over a promo with DX and Barry Blaustein's voiceover ends just in time to hear Vince say "more like the golden showers!" And Vince is laughing the loudest of anyone in the room. Vince doing, what I can only assume was his power strut, through Titan Towers in the late 80's, claiming he can do more coke than anybody. Vince drunkenly agreeing to take the Doomsday Device off of a small stage in a Strip Club. Vince clearly faking neck surgery around the time of his steroid trial in order to gain sympathy from a jury. Oh, you said endearing. Uhh.. What I love about the story about Vince taking the Doomsday Device is how Bret mentions in his book that Hawk lightly tapped Vince with the flying clothesline. And he told Jim Neidhart that the Hart Foundation would have given Vince their finisher at full speed and The Anvil basically said "damn right!" And next thing Bret knew, him and Neidhart are giving Vince the Hart Attack. Vince's head bounces on the floor of the strip club where they're all partying. Everyone is concerned (especially Bret) that Vince's is really hurt. But then Vince jumps up and loudly proclaims "you owe me a drink, Hitman!" |

this is a story about vince being a dick, but i have to admit, given all the circumstances, i laughed. also, its interesting, in that it kind of relates to a lawsuit the wwe would face.
according to the legendary comedian patrice oneal, who briefly wrote for wwe around 99-2000, he once witnessed a conversation between vince and tiger ali singh. it was right around the lo down team, and tiger was basically begging vince to stop making the team wear turbans. his family was telling him it was offensive and people in india were really upset, and vince just sighs and goes "wear the f***ing turban." it's just racist and mean but somehow the way patrice tells the story its always funny.
on a related note, patrice also tells a not really endearing but still funny story about stephanie, claiming she fired him "at least six times" cause he kept ending the conversation in a manner that confused her (basically he was way too cool about it) so she had to call him and make sure he knew he was fired over and over.

That story about how Vince saw a match of KC James wrestling on the independents and said "This guy is good, we need to hire him!" months after KC James had already been on SmackDown and a month after he wrestled on a pay-per-view

In her defense, Patrice was a master of bridge burning, and Triple H found the story hilarious when he later was a guest on the same radio show with him. |

I always enjoyed that story where he re-hired Jimmy Wang Yang because he wanted him to demonstrate the Spirit Squad's finisher by taking it.

I think it's endearing, but not crazy, that Vince's life comes to a screeching halt when it comes to young fans, especially special needs kids.

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 was just amazed that Vince saw a current movie, given Spider Man was released just three weeks before that match lol. |

I don't remember the story exactly but it was Rock and Vince ribbing The Coach when he first got to the company and getting arrested.

Apparently for two years, he would have "Taking Care of Business" play all over WWE Headquarters at full blast when he entered the building.

I read a version of this story once, but I remembered it as every day for months he would pull up to HQ with "taking care of business" blasting from his car. With Vince, both could be true. |

Jericho telling Vince about a dream he had where it was to be Jericho vs. the Loch Ness Monster live on PPV. The finish was gonna be Nessie swallowing Jericho alive, which Jericho objected to. Vince told him "I did it myself this morning. It's fine" So Jericho has the match and it all goes fine....Vince's only comment about the dream Jericho had, "The Loch Ness Monster? Is he available?"

I don't remember the story exactly but it was Rock and Vince ribbing The Coach when he first got to the company and getting arrested. "Basically, Jerry Brisco came up to me in 2001 in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and he said he wanted me to run a football pool. $10 to pick all the games, and everybody did it. And I started on a Tuesday, it was a Smackdown taping, I'll never forget it. I had my own room I did interviews in, and all the sudden two cops show up. They were very serious, and said I understand you're running a gambling pool. You sold one to one of our undercover cops here. It's a felony in North Carolina and we're going to have to take you in. "So we're walking down the hallway, and we stop in front of Vince's office, and they said we should probably let him know because you're not going to be here for a while. We walk in and it's Vince, Triple H, Stephanie, The Rock, Kevin Dunn and Jerry Brisco. I should have known that, with Jerry in the room, something was going on, but I was so terrified because I was 26 years old. The real cops proceeded to tell Vince they've caught me in a gambling pool and we need to take him downtown. Vince got in my face, and he was an inch away from my nose. He was cursing, telling me my priorities were bad, and spending company time to run a gambling pool. This entire riff lasted 45 minutes. At the end of the office bit, the officer said it was $1,500 to get me out, and Vince said F-no, he's on his own. They handcuffed me, and I asked if there was anything I could put over my face. Vince threw me a pair of sweaty gym shorts that got stuck on my face. "I walked out of the office and the first person I see is The Undertaker. He looks at me with shock, and it was so real because no one else was in on it except those people in the office. They walked me out, and all the fans could see me and they drove me about a mile down the road, and got a call on the radio that they had to come back to pick up something. They turn around, come back, and everyone's there with Vince in front of everybody laughing their asses off. Greatest rip in the history of the business, and for about 10 minutes I literally walked to a place in the building and started crying. I thought my career was over. I thought how can I tell my dad I got fired over a $10 football pool." |

Bret Hart also had a story about a drunk Vince stripped to his boxer shorts wrestling Hawk and Hercules in Ric Flair's hotel room before challenging Jim Neidhart. This was after he took the Hart Attack in the bar earlier in the evening.

Sometime in the late '80s/early '90s, Vince got drunk with Bret Hart and told him about how Bobo Brazil was the greatest wrestler of all time all night long.

Not really a story but I do like the behind the scenes footage from Wrestlemania last year where they're practising Triple H's entrance and Vince asks if it's safe. Then he goes "Well I've got grandkids out of him so f*** him." It was something like that.
