5 Insane real-life Vince McMahon stories you won't believe
Vince McMahon has often been known to jostle with the boys in the back, often even sneaking up on wrestlers and tackling them to the ground. A number of these have gone down in WWE folklore over the years.
From trying to hide the fact that he likes pizza to his wrestling match with Kurt Angle over the Atlantic Ocean, we take a look at some insane stories from Vince McMahon's life.
#5 Wrestling Kurt Angle mid-flight
We start off with the incident between Kurt Angle and Vince McMahon which happened ahead of a RAW taping early on in Angle's career. Vince snuck up from behind and took Angle to the ground before later jovially gloating about it.
Angle described the incident in his autobiography 'It's True! It's True!:'
“From there we started talking about the time when Vince took me down in the ring one night on RAW IS WAR. It was set up where he snuck behind me, lifted me up in the air, and took me down, then jumped out of the ring, yelling ‘two’ for the takedown.”
Later that year, on a flight back from England, Vince started to tease Angle about the incident which led to Kurt tackling Vince mid-flight in the aisle:
"At that moment something made me decide to have a little fun with the boss. When Vince got up to walk away, I attacked him from behind, knocked him down, turned him over, and pinned him right in the aisle. There were about eighty World Wrestling Federation people on the plane, and everyone was howling."
One person who took the fight seriously was The Undertaker. Fiercely loyal to Vince, Taker came over and put a chokehold on Angle leading him to blackout:
"Vince and I had been on the floor for about thirty seconds as Vince struggled to get me off of him when the Undertaker came over and put a choke hold on me. He clamped me so tight that he actually choked me out and I blacked out for a minute. When I came to, Vince was standing up and he had this big smile on his face. I think he just loved the idea that he was wrestling with an Olympic champion, and he decided it wasn’t going to end there."
