Vince and Kota Ibushi have to be the two weirdest people in wrestling.

I've said this before but one of the big name historical biographers really needs to make the effort to tell Vince's story because it is a slam dunk Pulitzer Prize for whoever does it right.

Vince wasn't getting audio on his home TV. He called the cable company and they sent a guy out. The guy explained that someone had hit the Mute button and showed Vince. He said, "Thanks, Pal." and tipped him $100.

VKM is just beyond complicated. I am super conflicted about him. Obviously, the sexual stuff is bad. And then you hear stories about him paying for the airlift for Harley or giving Terry Gordy a payday under a hood because he knows he needs the money but is damaged goods.
My favorite Vince stories are him with the brain trust in the 90s. I guess it was his favorite thing to get people into the pool when they least expected it and Shane finally got him or when he was driving like a maniac to get to a town after a taping and JR tells him he will never ride with him again because he loves his children and wants to see them again.

The Big problem I can see is for some of it you'll need the family's approval and I don't see them agreeing. He did once ask Dave Meltzer to write a biography of him. Meltzer considered it, but declined because he decided he'd basically have to put everything else on hold to devote the kind of time needed to do the book correctly. So, Vince has at least considered it before, but this was years ago.
