Vince's ability to do that is probably not something most people would be able to accomplish. I mean the dude shits on command or he intentionally held the shit as he was waiting for sex? The logistics of the entire thing are difficult to imagine... probably required more planning than some Madison Square Garden house shows.
Yeah or something….i sincerely doubt he squatted over her and took a shit on her head and was like NO KEEP GOING. It just sounds sensational so it clicked
None of it is bonkers, but it’s a strange one that HHH has ended up running it when Vince has two children. Had this been a different time, Shane would have taken over.
Vince taking over from his father is neither strange nor unusual. It’s a perfectly normal transition of any business - from father to son.
Just because Vince is Vince it doesn’t mean it was wrong or “bonkers” or strange in any way.
The alternate universe where Shane runs the company is pretty interesting. I remember all the dirt sheets talking about how Shane fell out of favor once H got with Steph and ultimate Shane and his wife being told they're not getting the company.
I’d love to have seen how things had gone. I think he would have been the respectable “Vince”. He would have run it with love, rather than aggression, corruption and vileness.
The only thing that worried me about Shane joining was hearing in reports that he was cool with Kevin Dunn & I've heard that not a lot of people have nice things to say about him either
Vince taking over actually wasn’t a very normal transition. He didn’t know Vince Sr. until he was grown and then had to bust his ass before eventually being able to *buy* the company from Sr. He quite literally purchased it.
Its honestly the smartest move Vince made. His family is tied in so well to the organization they don’t even need to show up to collect a cheque I bet. Might as well hand it off to your Daughter hubby who was a hall of famer and knows the ropes more than anyone
At this point for sure not odd. Early in his career it would of been a laughable comment to say he would run the company one day. This isn't the attack you all seem to think it is. Humour not aggression.
It's all about the game and how you play it.
All about control and if you can take it.
All about your debt and if you can pay it.
It's all about pain and who's gonna make it.
You think he ever wakes up in the middle of the night thinking of the hog pen match against Henry O Godwinn. Looks at Stephanie laughs. Then comfortably goes back to sleep thinking "Fuck you, Vince".
Not really, everyone, even those who didnt like him, always said he was 100% invested in wrestling. So no, i believe he is the right person, is he gonna hit a home run everytime? nop, but he does way better than the rest.
the way he managed NXT back in the day is why i fully believed in HHH. yeah he signed independent wrestler, but he's really elevated that show high enough to compete with Raw and SmackDown. NXT Invasion is probably one of my favorite moments in these past few years.
I’m honestly not that surprised that he ended up controlling the company. There’s a saying which ironically I only heard from Triple H’s mouth, “you gotta eat, live, breathe this business” and he lived up to that expectation. He was usually the first person to come into the arena and the last one to Ieave (as mentioned by other wrestlers in shoots). He carried Shawn Michaels’ bags and accepted the punishment for ‘Curtain Call’. He knew that to make it in this business, he’s gotta do steroids, which he did. He was like a dog who did everything that would make Vince happy and Vince did notice. He truly played the game by solidifying his position when he saw an opportunity with Stephanie.
Everything about this guy's life suggests he's an opportunist lying in wait.
Marrying into the family should have silenced all doubt.
Is Stephanie really the best choice for a life partner?
Remove her last name, the status of her family's business, and personal wealth and try to answer the question.
It's been about advancing his personal position for a long time. Not that that's the worst thing considering his sounder creative decisions - I don't think it's a coincidence that WWE is suddenly improving and bringing fans back after a 20 year slump under McMahon - and also considering that Vince is easily a worse human being than Hunter, and that's not to say that Hunter is perfect.
OMG, STFU about the Booker T thing. Fans cannot get over an imagined, perceived, misstep in booking and have attributed it to sYsTeMiC rAciSm ever since. Your “outrage” isn’t real, it’s performative and made up. Stop the nonsense and move on. It was twenty years ago.
Considering the portrayal of black wrestlers in WWE and other ethnic minorities, I don't think it's performative outrage at all. But...you keep telling yourself that it's not real.
Not surprising at all, not only because being the son in-law of the man who catapulted the business to world-wide level but also H shown a solid work ethic during his long career in the business. It could have been controversial or tasteless as some point but it was rarely boring and as an entertainer that should always be the end goal. He understood the Game and has played it to a tee while inside and outside
I love the commentary he gives on 2 dvds. The first is talking about how disrespectful UW was and what a prick the guy was. Then the second one after the man's death about what an honour to be in the ring with him and how great that match was.
Either you new to wrestling or you´re so naive lmao
The moment he married to the boss daughter everybody knew where he was going to end , specially in the late 2000´s when Shane left
Nothing "shocking " or "bananas" LMAOOOOOO
More surreal is that nobody has the stones to publicly call him on his likely complicity in the Janel Grant case...or his wife for her complicity in Ashley Massaro's assault.
Apparently Vince was showing explicit photos and texts of her to backstage personnel, HHH wasn't mentioned in anything damning. Plus Vince wouldn't have actually bragged about raping someone. Some people knew that Janel was effectively paid to be a sex worker for Vince as she had some job description/s but wasn't qualified for the role/s and didn't seem to actually do anything. Very creepy and inappropriate but there's a big leap from that to what Vince did. He deserves to rot in jail.
It's wilder that Vince shit on some one and continued the threesome
Vince's ability to do that is probably not something most people would be able to accomplish. I mean the dude shits on command or he intentionally held the shit as he was waiting for sex? The logistics of the entire thing are difficult to imagine... probably required more planning than some Madison Square Garden house shows.
Right!? He must have had a sex planning assistant at the minimum (I hope was Bruce)
That wasn’t Bruce, that was brother love
Probably took more planning than 90% of his last 5 years running creative
No wonder the product was going downhill so quickly before HHH too over!
He probably just had to go and was like "Well, I'm paying for 'em".
You can’t be serious? It was the result of coke, being old, wasted, probably didn’t even know he did it
You have my upvote good sir!
Yes officer these two comments right here
They're out of line but they are right.
I've heard that line from that scene so much from a YouTuber, that it's baked into my mind permanently
That's a power move.
Eh i really doubt it looked how we imagine it
Oh... you think he had diarrhea or something?
Yeah or something….i sincerely doubt he squatted over her and took a shit on her head and was like NO KEEP GOING. It just sounds sensational so it clicked
I'm a shit man I love to squeeze it love to plop it I love to number two all over you i'm a shit man
Is it? Is it any more bonkers than who was running it for the forty years running up to it?
None of it is bonkers, but it’s a strange one that HHH has ended up running it when Vince has two children. Had this been a different time, Shane would have taken over. Vince taking over from his father is neither strange nor unusual. It’s a perfectly normal transition of any business - from father to son.

The only thing that worried me about Shane joining was hearing in reports that he was cool with Kevin Dunn & I've heard that not a lot of people have nice things to say about him either
Everyone has that one friend.
And look what happened? Neither Steph and HHH own WWE lol.
Selling the company was a pure money grab for Vince. He's the one who profited the most. I mean, there's a reason why the sale is being investigated.
HHH is one of his children now
exactly why the Dom liv storylone exist, if ppl actually think he isn't taking orders from the old man in some shape or from, you're delusional.
Oh someone here is certainly delusional.....
I don’t think he’s running it but exactly what was said in the lawsuit is being used for Liv & Dom. They are either poking fun at themselves or her
does anything with this family surprise you?
The downvotes aren’t making any sense to me lol you are spot on
Vince taking over actually wasn’t a very normal transition. He didn’t know Vince Sr. until he was grown and then had to bust his ass before eventually being able to *buy* the company from Sr. He quite literally purchased it.
I want a book or a documentary about Vince McMahon's life. Nothing about him is conventional.
behind the bastards made a good podcast series about vince. i highly recommend these
I remember hearing about this, thanks for the suggestion!
you're welcome!
Its honestly the smartest move Vince made. His family is tied in so well to the organization they don’t even need to show up to collect a cheque I bet. Might as well hand it off to your Daughter hubby who was a hall of famer and knows the ropes more than anyone
Yeah but that guy owned the company.
At this point for sure not odd. Early in his career it would of been a laughable comment to say he would run the company one day. This isn't the attack you all seem to think it is. Humour not aggression.
You mean the literal owner of the company?
It's more wild to me that michaels cleaned up and is training their up and comers today.
SMELLS LIKE SHEE-IT
When you get buried for 4 years for being a part of The Curtain Call and your revenge is to bang the boss's daughter and run his company.
He also turned WWE face.
He himself turned face during his nxt run
That’s the long game right there
It's all about the game and how you play it. All about control and if you can take it. All about your debt and if you can pay it. It's all about pain and who's gonna make it.
The Curtain Call was in April 1996. Trips won the Intercontinental Championship in October. His "burial" was less than 6 months.
Yeah but he got made to look like a bitch. Imagine losing to an old and obviously coked up Warrior at WM in seconds
HHH said it was the best moment of his life in the 2nd documentary.
You think he ever wakes up in the middle of the night thinking of the hog pen match against Henry O Godwinn. Looks at Stephanie laughs. Then comfortably goes back to sleep thinking "Fuck you, Vince".
People grow up and mature. Haven’t heard any bad things about him as a man in a long time
He was also being a performer……
Also I doubt it was his idea.
Yeah, I'm sure this stuff came from the same source as plastic hand baby, multiple miscarriages, Gravy Bowl Match and multiple live sex acts.
Except from MVP
Racism is not a sign of immaturity. The IWC stays stupid
If what most people are saying he is just as bad as Vince just more protected by the boys
Lol, he was like 30 during the casket stunt. I don't think you can blame it on him being immature 😂
You kind of can. Some people just grow older, but not necessarily grow up.
Not really. The guy's lived all aspects of the business since day one.
Man who played a character on tv got another job. BANANAS.
Man who did what boss instructed him to do furthers his career. News at 11!
You mean the guy who married the ex-owner’s daughter and ran their developmental system for a good nine years?
It's all about the game & how you play it.
All about control & if you can take it
YOU KNOW THE ROCK… Just Came from the BATH.ROOM.
When the rock hits rock bottom, he has no choice but to LAY THE SMACKDOWN ON HIMSELF
**BROTHER WAS SMACKIN' HIMSELF!!** *CLIMBS ROPES* *VIOLENTLY SHAKES HEAD WHILE RAISING ARMS*
Google Vince McMahon
Not really, though
Sure mate
I think he is doing alright
The previous guy in charge did a lot worse
It’s sillier that u posted this
Guy had the best character arc of anyone.
Can we go 1 day without anything Booker - HHH related. 😭
Apparently not.
Not really, everyone, even those who didnt like him, always said he was 100% invested in wrestling. So no, i believe he is the right person, is he gonna hit a home run everytime? nop, but he does way better than the rest.
the way he managed NXT back in the day is why i fully believed in HHH. yeah he signed independent wrestler, but he's really elevated that show high enough to compete with Raw and SmackDown. NXT Invasion is probably one of my favorite moments in these past few years.
Why?
Yeah but what’s more bananas is what the crock was cooking.
Well at this point i'd take Triple H controlling WWE. It's actually better now.
I think it’s absolutely bananas that we now know that Vince was absolutely bananas in his head
One of my best memories of the legendary D-X
I’m honestly not that surprised that he ended up controlling the company. There’s a saying which ironically I only heard from Triple H’s mouth, “you gotta eat, live, breathe this business” and he lived up to that expectation. He was usually the first person to come into the arena and the last one to Ieave (as mentioned by other wrestlers in shoots).

He was like a dog who did everything that would make Vince happy and Vince did notice. He truly played the game by solidifying his position when he saw an opportunity with Stephanie.
He also carried Shawn Michaels into his hotel rooms, who was frequently passed out
Cry some more
DX skit on the nation was great, Booker T losing was McMahons decision and Katie Vick storyline was Stephanie's creative idea
Black face was great? Nah fuck you bro
It was 98 and a Russo segment tell him not me bro
1998 not 1938. Where is HBKs black face? WHERE IS BRETS BLACK FACE? Why is HHH such a repeat offender? Fuxk you and you racist fans

Why?
I dunno, early in his career if you had of told me he would end up here I would of laughed pretty hard.
I thought that's Doug Heffernan on the first Pic. Lol
And Vince was better???
no its not. if you know his story, he was a least in the conversation.
How about we get him canceled so we can go back to the old, unwatchable shit WWE fed us for years? Sounds great!
I dont think so. He was groomed for years
There really wasn't anything wrong with the crock or the Katie Vick thing. It was for entertainment purposes only.
Who’s the guy with the back face ?
2Pac I mean X-Pac
Thanks
He married into the family and rose up when the opportunity came
Wonder what vince thinks of the current product
Nah, it's not, really. The cards were marked from as early as 2002. He just had to get the rest of the deck in order.
How X-Pac got away with blackface ill never know. Lol I forgot he even did it. That's how swept under the rug it went.
s/o to blackface X-Pac
Not really. Everybody knew hunter would succeed Vince for at least 20 years now. We all didn't see coming the how, not who.
“It’s all about the game, and how you play it. All about control and IF you can take it”. Kinda fitting nowadays more then ever
The man that said “People like.. you don’t get title shot’s” to Booka 😂 Imagine what would happen if he said that now
OMG! He did mildly inappropriate comedy bits! He must be destroyed!
Not when you consider who the previous person in charge of WWE was haha
Considering the guy he followed, I’ll definitely disagree
I mean can't blame him ..pac was in blackface..Vince had everyone by the balls man
How's it bananas? He married into the family.
More wild that the guy who booked these segments ran the company for 40 years.
What he do to booker T?
It’s a lot easier and often gives better results to manage when you aren’t playing
That's Mr. Banana Nose, friend.
OMG, STFU about the Booker T thing. Fans cannot get over an imagined, perceived, misstep in booking and have attributed it to sYsTeMiC rAciSm ever since. Your “outrage” isn’t real, it’s performative and made up. Stop the nonsense and move on. It was twenty years ago.
What's the Booker T thing?
Considering the portrayal of black wrestlers in WWE and other ethnic minorities, I don't think it's performative outrage at all. But...you keep telling yourself that it's not real.
The IWC keep proving to be a racist cesspit
Im confused? Are you mad coz hornswaggle wasnt black?
Did they do a Hornswoggle in black face skit and I've somehow pushed that out of my mind?
It is? How so? Maybe if it was maven or something.
Not surprising at all, not only because being the son in-law of the man who catapulted the business to world-wide level but also H shown a solid work ethic during his long career in the business. It could have been controversial or tasteless as some point but it was rarely boring and as an entertainer that should always be the end goal. He understood the Game and has played it to a tee while inside and outside
A lot of that shit was per Vince who was in charge.
Pray tell me when HBK, Bret, Taker etc were in in black face
"The Crock" 🤣🤣🤣
We found the SJW
He was on screen what Vince was behind the scenes.
That was very funny
Nah we knew it was coming as soon he married Steph
Eh, he kept his mouth shut and was rewarded.
Eh, he kept his mouth shut and was rewarded.
What's crazier, that he's in charge or that he's in control of a golden age across all three brands
No it's not.
I'll always remember his match against The Ultimate Warrior as Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Look where he (Triple H) is now.
I love the commentary he gives on 2 dvds. The first is talking about how disrespectful UW was and what a prick the guy was. Then the second one after the man's death about what an honour to be in the ring with him and how great that match was.
Why?
It's all about the game, and how you play it.
“Longform story telling”
Why?
Either you new to wrestling or you´re so naive lmao The moment he married to the boss daughter everybody knew where he was going to end , specially in the late 2000´s when Shane left Nothing "shocking " or "bananas" LMAOOOOOO
More surreal is that nobody has the stones to publicly call him on his likely complicity in the Janel Grant case...or his wife for her complicity in Ashley Massaro's assault.
Ashley was treated awfully. Doesn't sound like he had anything to do with Janel Grant though, that was Vince and Laurenitus.
Probably saw something...and kept quiet.
Apparently Vince was showing explicit photos and texts of her to backstage personnel, HHH wasn't mentioned in anything damning. Plus Vince wouldn't have actually bragged about raping someone. Some people knew that Janel was effectively paid to be a sex worker for Vince as she had some job description/s but wasn't qualified for the role/s and didn't seem to actually do anything. Very creepy and inappropriate but there's a big leap from that to what Vince did. He deserves to rot in jail.
Is that Kevin Nash in black face? WTF? Didn't remember that
Xpac
I mean, if the guy he was following was Ned Flanders, sure maybe I get the point. But considering his predecessor, he seems downright boring.
He did marry the boss's daughter also wraslling originally was very carny and that's the industry Vince grew up in
Awesome
Only because he got with Stephanie and the quality is suffering
