Bret Hart mentioned this in his YouShoot some years back. He said Vince likes to talk to his world champ literally every day, largely by phone. I was wondering how long Vince did this and when this habit stopped, if it did stop at all? After all there are two champs now and with the name brand being more valuable than any talent I doubt Vince continues this. Have any more stories come out with former champs talking about these talks?
Bret said he would talk to Vince literally every day for a while when he was champ. Eventually, Bret stopped calling Vince every day and/or stopped taking his calls. He said he just ran out of things to say and didn’t know what to talk about. I wonder if this in small part bit Bret on the butt years later as it could have made Vince get the impression that he wasn’t a company guy willing to do what the boss said. I wouldn’t be surprised if HBK followed this tradition as he obviously got in Vince’s ear.
I doubt it’s continued into this era though. But I’m not positive. For instance I’m sure Brock would’ve been willing to talk to Vince everyday, but he’d charge $3,000 per minute. Vince loves the guy so much he probably would have paid.

I could totally see Vince and Roman having the sort of junior high crush "You hang up first.... no YOU hang up first! etc forever" type of call

"Hey Roman, it's Vince!" "What do you need boss?" "About that promo a while back..." "Yeah, which one?" "Say the word..." "Which word?" "You know the word, it was the best part." "Ummm...Sufferin' Succotash?" "No, not that one you Samoan son of a bitch!! You know dammit....THE word!" "Babygurl?"  |

*beep*
"Well then."
"Hello, Roman, this is-"
"DO YOU MIND?! I'M TRYING TO WATCH MY KIDS RIGHT NOW!"

Heh I picture Vince totally calling himself on the phone for those few days in 1999. /Vince is seen with two phones on his hand. He puts both on each of his ears./ "Hey, pal! I heard you were the new WWF Champion..." "Don't you pal, me, pal! Do you know who I am? I'm Vince McMahon, dammit!" "No, wait, I'm also Vince McMahon, you son-of-a-bitch!" |

And now, Vince’s champion calls throughout history...
---
“Hey, Bob! Congrats on the big win last night at Survivor Series! How were the celebrations?”
“I’M NOT TALKING TO YOU UNTIL YOU NAME ALL THE PRESIDENTS IN REVERSE NUMERICAL ORDER.”
“Uh, OK... Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower... Sorry, Bob, I’m going through a tunnel, you’re breaking up...”
*hangs up*
“I’m not doing THAT every time I talk to Backlund, dammit. PATTERSON, GET IN HERE! WE’RE DROPPING THE BACKLUND RUN AND PUTTING THE BELT ON NASH AT THE GARDEN SHOW.”
---
“Kane! Congrats on the win at King Of The Ring, even if it’s been overshadowed by that damn lunatic Foley doing what he did... How’s things?”
*vocoded* “Well, Mr. McMahon, me and Dad had a nice dinner and...”
*Vince recoils from the phone and hangs up*
“Damn contraption was making robot noises on me. I know what should fix it... PATTERSON! WE’RE PUTTING THE BELT BACK ON AUSTIN TONIGHT.”
---
“Rey Mysterio! What a win in that tournament final earlier tonight! How are you holding up?”
“Mr. McMahon, I’m standing right next to you, you don’t need the phone.”
*hangs up*
“Don’t you sass me with that smartmouth, dammit. You know what, change of plans! That match with Cena I had planned for you at SummerSlam? It’s moving to tonight, he’s going over and we’re doing the Punk return.”
“Wouldn’t that ending up unnecessarily rushing your big summer storyline?”
“DAMMIT GET OUTTA HERE BEFORE I BOOK IT AS A SQUASH.”
