"He let me get away with a lot of c**p" – Six-time WWE Tag Champion discusses how Vince McMahon let him off for some slips ups (Exclusive)
Former WWE Tag Team Champion and DX member Road Dogg Brain James recently spoke about being let off by Vince McMahon on several occasions.
James gained popularity in WWE as part of the New Age Outlaws with Billy Gunn. The two held the tag team titles six times in their careers. They were also immortalized in the Hall of Fame Class of 2019 as part of D-Generation X.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's new podcast, The Wrestling Outlaws, James mentioned that Vince let him get away with many pranks and mistakes because he was one of the boys.
He noted that he was bringing in good money for the company during the Attitude Era, and the boss was happy to look the other way when there were small slip-ups from his end.
Here's what Road Dogg had to say:
"In his defense, he let me get away with a lot of c**p because I was one of the boys. Because I made some money. I was in a group that made some money. So he let me get away with some c**p. People would always go, 'How do you get away with that?' I was like, 'don't know. I just say it.' Pray." (From 2:15 - 2:34)
