On a recent episode of Talk Is Jericho, Chris Jericho revealed a few interesting tidbits about Vince McMahon. Specifically, these had to do with Vince and Wrestlemania.
Jericho explained why the event isn’t referred to as “The Grandaddy Of Them All” anymore. Also, the reason why Vince doesn’t like the numbers after Wrestlemania. Here is what Jericho said (h/t to Wrestling INC):
“The reason why, and everybody at home, is that Vince does not like the numbers after the WrestleMania because he feels like it dates it. Also, you’re not allowed to call it ‘The Grandaddy Of Them All’ because he feels that it makes it seem old. So yeah, Super Bowl 75, he does not like the number, so you cannot refer to it as ‘WrestleMania 34’. You just refer to it as ‘WrestleMania’. One of those classic Vince McMahon quirks.”
Also, Jericho revealed why Wrestlemania opens with ‘America The Beautiful’ instead of the U.S National anthem:
“Vince does not like the American national anthem. Nope. He feels that ‘America The Beautiful’ is the epitome of American songs. That’s why for every WrestleMania, it’s ‘America The Beautiful’.”
