Vince McMahon Stories That Will Make You Laugh
10) The Story Of When Vince Threw Candy At Sleeping Wrestlers
You might remember Mr. Kennedy On WWE TV from 2005 until about 2009. He participated in a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), with the R/ SquaredCircle community. One of the highlights was the Vince McMahon stories that he told about a flight to Iraq.
Here is what he said:
“We were on our way over to Iraq, which is a really, really long flight. And we were actually flying from New Finland to Rammstein airforce base in Germany. This is like twelve hours into the flight, people passed out and lots of alcohol consumed. It was a C17 transport plane, a big, wide open plane. People are scattered all over the place. 90% of the people were sleeping. Vince, a sixty-five year old billionaire, was low-crawling around being super stealthy with a bag of hard candies tucked under his arm. He’d hide behind something, pop his head up, throw a candy at their face, then pop down again. They’d wake up, look around and see nothing then go back to sleep. Then he’d pop up and do it again. Just kept doing it” (Source: Reddit).
Just imagining this scene makes me laugh. A 65-year-old billionaire laughing like a child as he tosses candy at wrestlers.
