We have a great Vince McMahon story to pass your way. This comes via a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select (subscribe here),
During Wrestlemania 36, Rob Gronkowski jumped off the balcony at the WWE Performance Center. This came during his 24/7 Championship segment. It turns out that Gronk was nervous before doing the spot.
Sapp says that Vince McMahon actually jumped off the balcony in order to show Gronk that the stunt was safe. Here is what Sapp wrote:
One person in the building said those there caught it and had a reaction of “did that just happen?,” and that Vince McMahon said something to the nature of “not so bad, is it?”
You may remember that Vince McMahon also did Shawn Michaels’ zipline entrance at the WrestleMania 12 rehearsals….though that was way back 24 years ago.
Even at 74 years old, Vince is still a legend.
