"You look like sh*t" - When former WWE Superstar was forced to get a tan by Vince McMahon

Vince McMahon has had a specific vision for wrestling and WWE's performers throughout the years. One former superstar recently discussed how he was forced to get a tan by the Chairman of the Board.

John Morrison performed for the company for a total of 11 years across two separate runs. He is primarily known for his WWE ECW stint and his tag team with The Miz, but he also managed to win the Intercontinental Championship three times.

While sitting down on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Morrison discussed a particular time earlier in his career where Vince McMahon forced him to get a tan.

"Vince was always real big on tans and there was a while where I was wrestling Sheamus and I'd come back and he'd be 'God damn it, you look fantasitic'. I looked exactly the same and I wrestled [R-]Truth the next week and he was 'Morrison, come here, you look like sh*t. Get a tan, god damn it. You can't sell pale." (h/t Ringside News)

Morrison went on to speak about how he feels he has some unfinished business in WWE after being released in 2021. For the entire interview, click below.
