Why WWE CEO Vince McMahon will not induct himself into the WWE Hall of Fame?
Former WWE personality Jim Cornette has revealed the reason behind why Vince McMahon will never induct himself into the Hall of Fame.
To date, only one member of the McMahon family has been a part of the honor - Vincent J. McMahon, the father of Vince McMahon.
Triple H, Vince's son-in-law, was also inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019 but as a part of D-Generation X.
Triple H might get three Hall of Fame rings. DX, Evolution, and himself.
Describing his thoughts on Jim Cornette's Drive-Thru show, the former manager cited McMahon's ego as a factor for not inducting himself into the WWE Hall of Fame.
“Vince will never go in the Hall of Fame as long as he is still alive. That is one thing he constantly tells everybody, he gets mad if they don’t listen, he doesn’t want anyone to thank him on their acceptance speeches. I don’t know if it’s because, let’s face it, Vince has a fairly healthy ego. I don’t know if he wants to be humble and loveable like a shoeshine boy, but he knows the ways that the boys are.
