3 times Vince McMahon got angry at WWE Superstars

In 1982, Vince McMahon bought a wrestling company from his father which is now known as WWE. Since beating WCW in the Monday Night Wars, The Boss has done several things to make sure he remains at the top.

It means he created his own superstars, pushed them to the top and coined money from them. However, some of these wrestlers have done things The Boss didn't like. In this article, we will look at three instances when Vince McMahon got mad at his biggest draws.

#3 Batista

Batista revealed many interesting details

Batista retired after losing to Triple H at WrestleMania 35. Over the years, The Animal has also made a name for himself in the acting field. From guest starring shows to playing Drax “The Destroyer”, this man has done it all. Having a body of a giant has also helped Batista in achieving his dreams as a wrestler and an actor.

An average person would never take the risk of slugging it out with The Animal in real-life, and that’s a fact. However, Vince McMahon doesn’t care about it.

Catching up with The Ross Report, Batista revealed that he used to irritate Vince a lot, so much so, that the Boss once threatened to slap him. Instead of taking it seriously, Batista laughed off the incident.

"I pissed him off a lot. I pissed him off to the point where he actually said to me one day; he said, 'do you know what I want to do to you right now? I want to slap the s--t out of you!' I couldn't believe he was saying this to me! I was like, 'man.' All I could do was laugh, and that made him more pissed. But I think it got to the point where I think Vince knew that I was in it for the right reasons. I think he knew that I wanted to be there and that I was good for the company."

#2 Seth Rollins

Burn It Down!

Recently, Seth Rollins beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 for the Universal Championship. He is now Raw's main Superstar and Vince is fond of him.

However, one time Rollins made a mistake of not following the script which made Vince furious. He was supposed to face Kofi Kingston in a match where Kingston would job to him. But, The Kingslayer wanted to do something more than getting a squash victory.

When the two faced each other, everything seemed okay. Both Superstars showed their strength and weakness, and in the end, Rollins came out on top. After finishing the match, he went backstage, thinking everything was fine until he saw Vince’s eyes. The Boss was furious at Rollins. This is what the new Universal Champion said about the incident:

“It was literally three minutes long probably, start to finish, bell to bell. I gave Kofi a little bit and made him look good and then beat him. I remember coming to the back and thinking, ‘OK, that was alright.’ Vince was furious about it, furious. He was like, ‘Get over here,’ and he was yelling at me. He was like, ‘If you’re gonna be my guy, that’s not what I want,’ and he shooed me out of Gorilla. I didn’t understand. I didn’t get it, and Michael was trying to explain to me what Vince wanted out of the situation, and they ended up making me and Kofi go back out and re-do the match.” (HT: WrestleZone for the quotes)

#1 The Undertaker

Vince is reportedly upset with The Undertaker

The Undertaker is someone who never disappoints his boss. He has been working for WWE for nearly three decades and has a special place in Vince McMahon's company. However, as per the latest reports, The Boss is furious at The Undertaker for making public appearances.

They have made several changes in ‘Taker’s contract which strictly says he can’t make any appearance outside WWE. If you are Sportskeeda’s regular reader, then you should know that The Deadman is going to appear at the Starcast II event. It is not directly related to All Elite Wrestling (WWE’s rival company), but since it’s happening right before the show, fans are thinking it’s an AEW related event.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this also made Vince angry at The Phenom.

“The basic gist is something approximating this. Undertaker thought his career was over after the match in Australia and started lining up outside paydays. After the Starcast thing went public, Vince got mad, and when things calmed down between the two, WWE made him an offer he couldn’t refuse financially and part of the contract was an agreement he could no longer do those type of dates. Of course, he still would have to do the ones he had contractually agreed to.

It is the reason why WWE made several changes to The Undertaker’s new contract.
