WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently disclosed how long Vince McMahon would sleep per night while he was still the CEO of the company.

Vince McMahon resigned from WWE on July 22nd. His retirement shocked the wrestling world as the former CEO had recently made a couple of appearances on RAW and SmackDown. Vince allegedly issued hush money payments to a former female employee. John Laurinaitis was also dismissed from the company as a result of the scandal.

Triple H replaced John as EVP of Talent Relations and was recently named Chief Content Officer for the company. Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan were named the new co-CEOS after Vince's departure.

Speaking with AJ Singh on "The Wrassingh Show," the Olympic Gold Medalist revealed how little Vince McMahon used to sleep back in the day:

"He wanted to be in control of everything," said Angle. "What he did in that company, he really literally couldn't get any more than two hours of sleep a night. Because he was so damn busy and that is what he did. He slept from three to five in the morning. He would work out from one to three in the morning, sleep from three to five in the morning, and get up to start working all day. [15:09 - 15:29]

Kurt continued to outline Vince's insane schedule back in the day and noted that the company was a big part of the 77-year-old's life:

"He'd go to TVs, do the TVs, and at the end of TVs he would drive to a hotel, drop his stuff off, and go to the gym in the middle of the night, work out and then go to sleep for two hours. That was his life and WWE was a big part of his life," he added. [15:30 - 15:46]
