I wonder if this is part of why his character is always called "Mr. McMahon" instead of "Vince McMahon" because of this weird fixation on people not using his first name. I'm guessing it also has to do with his burning hatred of the "Jr." suffix. Calling him "Vince" probably reminds him of that (even though his dad had a different middle name). |

This would have never happened if Evans had started doing some steroids and added about 50 pounds of solid muscle to his producing body.

At the very least, John Oliver just got a lot more ammo.

Do you think Vince has a favorite Jason Mraz song?

Honestly, I bet this has pissed Bret off as well. He writes his speech, goes over it with this writer and gets it okayed. Then he gets attacked by someone because the security is garbage, and has to go to the hospital to get checked out. Then he finds out Vince flipped out over Bret saying his name a few times, and the poor writer lost his job? Probably just reminded Bret why he keeps his distance from the company.

1. This is a tad bit (whole lotta) ridiculous. Assault isn't the answer to deal with workplace frustrations. Come on now. 2. A couple actually have gotten physical with Vince that we know of. Nailz and Bret Please continue reading through the thread. I acknowledged my being wrong here. Please read through our rules, especially the wishing/threatening bodily harm on someone part. I realize you already owned up to it, but you never should have posted it to begin with. That's usually a heavy strike on your account. Do not let it happen again. |

Yeah, DX should have just tried to reason with Vince.
On Wrestlemania weekend.
During the Hall of Fame.
After he lost his shit and fired a guy and had to deal with an assault on Bret Hart.

Never heard this one. What happened? Can’t pinpoint the source, but it was brought up on this forum some years ago. I apologize for not having anything more reliable. I believe it was a thread sharing the horror stories of being on creative. I think it was Dan Magigan, but the story was the creative members wife, family member died and he was at a funeral and had steph on the telephone screaming at some trivial matter |

I didn’t really even take DX saying it that much as clowning Vince, I don’t know why I didn’t think of it like that to begin with. Kind of seems obvious that is what they were doing with that thinking about it now.
I also didn’t take the dude saying he quit as in “they didn’t fire me, I QUIT!” and more as “I didn’t like how he talked to me, so I quit” type of situation. Like, it was a bad day at work, but he wasn’t going to lose his job over it.
I still want to hear from Bret Hart. He is probably our best chance to spill the 1st hand tea sippage.

I don't think that's going to be as big a deal as people would like to think it is. I'm just guessing that a significant percentage of WWE fans aren't John Oliver fans (whether it's dislike, or just indifference), and likely haven't seen (and won't see) that segment. |

Vince is off his f***ing rocker and I can't wait for the day he finally retires and lets go of his chokehold on the industry.

They might be more willing to push someone who suddenly catches fire, but they're not going to be more lax backstage. |

Please continue reading through the thread. I acknowledged my being wrong here. Oh I skipped like 4 pages lol Anyways regardless of how wrong it is I gotta say I'm shocked I could only name two names off hand like that. Vince seems like the kind of dude that would have a lot of dudes that would wanna knock him one. This thread made me try and think of that too, and those were the only 2 names I could pull. There has to have been more then those 2 who have punched Vince I wonder if this is part of why his character is always called "Mr. McMahon" instead of "Vince McMahon" because of this weird fixation on people not using his first name. Nah, the Mr. McMahon thing was purely to add to the douchebag boss character. He’s so arrogant, he doesn’t consider his employees his peers so they don’t get to address him by his first name. As far as I know, and maybe I’m wrong, everyone backstage calls him Vince not Mr. McMahon. |

I'm calling it now - Vince will not be running the company in a year's time.

His voting power is still overwhelming, but it'll take nothing short of a medical crisis to pry that power away from him at this point (not wishing that on him of course). |
