Vince McMahon dared his own child to "stab" him over creative differences
Vince McMahon reportedly asked a member of his own family to "stab" him over creative differences in WWE. The 79-year-old resigned from the company after sex-trafficking allegations from former WWE employee Janel Grant were made public.
A docuseries about the former CEO titled "Mr. McMahon" has been released on Netflix. In the docuseries, Paul Heyman was interviewed, and he discussed a bizarre conversation between Shane and Vince McMahon.
Shane McMahon had a creative idea he wanted to try, and Vince McMahon told his son that it would not happen while he was alive. McMahon then took a knife and handed it to his son, adding that he would have to stab him in the heart to get his way.
“Vince finally turned to Shane and he said, ‘Not while I’m alive’. And Vince, who was eating something, took his knife and handed it to Shane, and he says, ‘Right there (points to his heart). If you want this so bad, stick the dagger right here, because that’s what you’re gonna have to do to make that decision. And if you don’t stick the dagger right here, then I know you’re not man enough to do it, and I have to take that into consideration as well. Or you can buy me out, the way I bought out my father, and if I don’t get out of your way, be prepared to get rid of me, the way I would have had to get rid of my father when he wasn’t doing things my way at all’."
