5 WWE Hall of Famers close to Vince McMahon in real life

#2 WWE Hall of Famer - Kurt Angle

WWE Hall of Famer and former Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle shares a special friendship with Vince. During Angle's prime, he consistently used to shoot wrestle Vince, with the two men constantly trying to take each other down for fun.

The former five-time world champion has always spoken highly of McMahon and even considers him a father figure in his life. Despite moving to TNA in 2006 for a good ten years, on Angle's return to WWE in 2017, Vince welcomed Kurt with open arms and even embraced him.

Angle, in the same year, was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame which surely serves as testament to the strength of their friendship.

#1 WWE Hall of Famer - Stone Cold Steve Austin

WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon had memorable showdowns in the Attitude Era, with the latter being on the receiving end of some unfortunate Stunners.

In real-life they have absolutely no disdain for each other and in fact share a friendship that has become very strong over the years. Austin and McMahon were the two key pillars that helped WWE grow in the late 90s and early 2000s. Having spent so much time inside and outside the ring together, their camaraderie and mutual respect has just grown from strength to strength.

As a testament to their special bond, Vince was also the first guest on the Stone Cold Podcast back in 2014.
