8 Unbelievable backstage stories about Vince McMahon that are true

#3. Vince McMahon once tried to wrestle Kurt Angle and Kofi Kingston in a plane on two different instances

It's a mystery why Vince McMahon hasn't created a WWE stipulation related to plane rides

As mentioned earlier, Vince McMahon used his wits to beat Mark Henry in a weightlifting competition. However, the CEO of WWE took it one step further when he challenged two of his performers to a physical confrontation.

In his book, It’s True! It’s True!, Kurt Angle recounted the time when McMahon tried to wrestle him on a plane.

“The quintessential alpha male, Vince McMahon always liked to prove himself, even against Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle. On a plane ride, Vince decided to sneak up behind Angle and take him down amateur-style, starting an impromptu match in the aisle."

The ruckus woke up The Undertaker, who displayed his loyalty to the company by taking out Angle to protect his boss. In Chris Jericho's third autobiography, The Demo God detailed how Vince McMahon and Kofi Kingston also fought on a plane once because of a comment McMahon made.

“While on a plane, McMahon made a snide remark to Kingston, saying, “maybe one day you’ll get over.”

For some reason, Jericho encouraged Kingston to challenge McMahon to a fight, which he did. The two men wrestled around the plane for a bit, as Vince even attempted a double-leg takedown on Kingston. After the fight was over, Vince McMahon respected Kofi Kingston for sticking up for himself.
