The New Day with Vince
The New Day with Vince

Kofi Kingston is currently on a pursuit of the WWE Championship. His boss, Vince McMahon, is not letting him face Bryan for the title at WrestleMania. He is putting obstacles in front of Kingston so that he doesn’t get to fight with the WWE Champion. Even though WWE is facing criticism for this matter, it indeed is the right thing to do as long as Kingston is going to cut the mustard as a WWE Champion at ‘Mania. However, the storyline we are currently seeing once was a real life issue.

Chris Jericho, in his book, revealed that he once told Kingston to fight Vince McMahon. Yes, it was a real fight. But why the veteran would ever tell someone to beat the boss? According to Jericho, Vince told Kingston, "Maybe one day you'll get over."

The former US Champion wasn’t a big deal back in the day, so he just listened to the boss silently. However, after receiving a bit of advice from Jericho, Kingston decided to confront Vince. As soon as their fight began, McMahon went for a double leg takedown, and after some time, things became normal. McMahon stood up and laughed at how Kingston decided to speak for himself. We know that hitting a boss equals to getting fired but not in this case.
