Of course Roy Scheider was five years younger than her, and he died 14 years ago.

The Blue World Order was gold, man. Though Vince had the opposite kind of reaction around 2010. It took him a couple years, but he had finally seen Dark Knight on a plane or something and suddenly Edge was acting like a blatant hybrid of the Joker and Two-Face for several months.

Gavok posted:The Blue World Order was gold, man. Don't forget the time he agreed to sign Gail Kim after Jim Ross showed him Asian porn which Vince was absolutely convinced did not exist. He didn't think audiences would find an Asian-American wrestler attractive and JR had to lead him down the online porn path to get her on the roster. Edit: On a lighter and funnier note. Paul Heyman told a story about Vince sneezing during a production meeting and being legit PISSED he couldn't control it. Like, he was actually angry with himself over a lack of control.

My favorite Vince McMahon story is the current one where after 20 years of people accepting that Triple H would be taking over WWE eventually and would rule the wrestling world, Vince made him the fall guy for AEW's success and not only practically disowned him, but burned all of his pet projects to the ground out of spite. And during all of this, Triple H had a heart attack.

Also I learned that there's a good chance that Vince McMahon is literally Donald Trump's half-brother.

There was that time where a wrestler was given a character that was basically Jack Sparrow and he acted like a drunk crazy pirate person and swung to the ring on a rope and people were actually kinda into it because the Pirates movies were popular at the time and the wrestler was selling the whole thing pretty hard. Then Vince was like "Who the gently caress cares about pirates? What is this poo poo?" and cut the whole thing. There was also this thing where Vince's character was going to be blown up or something and all these wrestlers were gathered backstage to look at him as he walked to his car or something. At least one wrestler had no idea what the gently caress was going on so he had a poo poo-eating grin on his face because nobody told him what to actually do and Vince fired him over it.

I can't remember if that was the death angle, or the one where Vince was crushed by the stage, that they ended up cancelling because a real wrestler death ended up happening a few days later.

I get the feeling Vince's death isn't gonna be a 'natural causes' thing, too. His private jet will crash into the side of a mountain. He'll be struck by a train. Drown while swimming on a private beach and get taken out by a rip-tide. It's going to be something oddly specific for him.

gbs but from 2004 posted:sorry for seriouspost but The prevalent belief at this point is that WWE is shoring up their finances in preparation for a sale, with a lot of people thinking they're going to sell to whichever media giant wants a bunch of content for their streaming platform. They've cut a shitload of wrestlers and backstage guys in the last two years, a lot of them being people that were hired by HHH for his version of NXT. Besides losing to AEW in the Wednesday Night "War", HHH's version of NXT had long been rumored to be something Vince wasn't happy about, because HHH had a bunch of indie flippy guys and gals (many of whom could actually wrestle very well), and Vince wanted more musclemen and bikini models. Additionally, Kevin Dunn (the TV production chief who's basically the Grima Wormtongue to Vince's King Theoden) was eager to see HHH fail because it was also long rumored that when HHH took over, Dunn would be one of the first people he fired. So NXT failing to decisively beat AEW on Wednesday nights meant that HHH got all the blame and Vince's sycophants were more than eager to push him to change things. On top of all this, there's an executive working for WWE called Nick Khan who's second only to Vince now, and who has been absolutely ruthless about cutting what he considers to be "waste" and slashing budgets, including firing a bunch of wrestlers who had big money contracts, in many cases cutting workers who had recently just been repackaged and returned to TV, or who actually pretty good movers of merchandise (Bray "The Fiend" Wyatt being probably the most notable example of the latter). Khan also generally dances around the question of "is WWE going to be sold" whenever asked; my gut instinct is that it won't be sold until Vince either already has or is ready to finally shuffle off this mortal coil, because he's not ever going to just retire and sit around in his Florida mansion. Vince will keep going until his steroid-and-cocaine-addled heart finally explodes.

Then Vince was like "Who the gently caress cares about pirates? What is this poo poo?" and cut the whole thing. Let's also remember that Vince's brilliant idea to replace the "Captain Jack" gimmick was to take the wrestler in question (Paul Birchill), and pair him up with a female wrestler (Katarina Waters), as a brother and sister who were having an incestuous relationship.

Prince M bin Salman of Saudi Arabia wanted to see Yokozuna at one of the Saudi WWE shows. Vince McMahon didn't have the heart to tell him that Yokozuna was long dead, so he hired a random sumo wrestler hoping the prince wouldn't notice.
