5 best real-life Vince McMahon stories

#2 McMahon vs McMahon

Let’s face it, most of us who grew up in the Attitude Era loved the Wrestlemania XVI matchup that had ‘A McMahon In Every Corner’. For those unaware, the Fatal 4-Way elimination match for the WWF Championship saw Triple H (with Stephanie McMahon) vs The Rock (w/Vince McMahon) vs Mankind (w/Linda McMahon) vs Big Show (w/Shane McMahon).

Well, that was a WWE storyline but the following narration is as real as it gets — Vince was relaxing with his family at their holiday home when he teamed up with his wife Linda to take on Triple H and Stephanie at the pool table. It started off as nothing more than a jovial game of pool until his team began losing to Steph and HHH.

Apparently, Mr McMahon was mad at Linda — who was causing him to lose — following which he flipped out and stormed away from the room. To make matters worse, Stephanie called him from her bedroom via intercom. Triple H who was beside her, before going on to sing the Whipping Post song, said something along the lines of ‘You’re tied to a whipping post, Daddy’ to Vince over the phone.

Legend has it that it infuriated him so much that he literally began screaming in anger on the other side of the call, his screams audible to both Stephanie and HHH.
