5 biggest unscripted WWE moments involving Vince McMahon

#3 Vince McMahon instructs Triple H to tell Ric Flair to end his speech

This was another moment that wasn't supposed to happen and led to a loud negative reaction when Vince McMahon tried to straighten things up. At the 2008 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, Ric Flair was delivering his speech and Vince was getting restless in the backstage area as The Nature Boy was going beyond the allotted time.

The Hall of Famers usually stick to their scripts, but Flair probably had a lot more to say and didn't realize that time was running out.

Vince McMahon finally instructed Triple H to tell Flair to finish it up, and The Game described the moment as the worst of his career. Flair didn't take any offense though as it was a whirlwind of a moment for him. Here's what The Game had to say about the incident:

"I don't even know if it was a big deal to him and that he remembered it, it was a whirlwind to him but, oh my god, for me, it was the worst moment ever."

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
