"Vince hates that" - Jim Cornette reveals wrestling term Vince McMahon banned in WWE
Wrestling legend Jim Cornette recently disclosed another term former WWE CEO Vince McMahon is not a fan of.
Vince McMahon announced his resignation as the company's CEO last year as investigations loomed over alleged hush money payments made to former female employees. He returned earlier this year to help facilitate the merger with UFC's parent company, Endeavor.
The 77-year-old is known for his eccentricities, such as despising words like "hospital". McMahon seemingly prefers the term "local medical facility" in its place.
On a recent edition of the Jim Cornette Experience, the legendary manager revealed another term Vince hated while reviewing the Intercontinental Championship match between Gunther and Mustafa Ali at WWE Night of Champions. The term Vince doesn't like is "caught a quick one," which would refer to a superstar stealing a win via roll-up.
“Vince hates that – that’s another Vince McMahon banned term. In the old days, when you weren’t completely sure that guys were gonna agree to going along with doing a job (losing a match), the booker or whoever was doing the finish would go up to the f**king guy and he’d say, ‘Look, you take most of the match, boom boom boom, get some f**king steam on him, whatever, he’ll make a comeback and then let him catch a quick one. Just catch a quick one,'" said Cornette.
Cornette explained what the term meant and noted that McMahon didn't want it used.
“Which means roll you up, or some little quick pin 1-2-3 and you’re fine. And that’s kind of the way that you would talk a guy into it if he was reticent. And Vince McMahon hates that. ‘Catch a quick one, that’s bulls**t’. (Laughs)," added Cornette. [H/T: Ringside News]

"He [Vince McMahon] set him [Buff Bagwell] up for failure, a hundred percent, bro. I've read enough about the issues that JR was having with Buff Bagwell. He was having issues with Buff.
