10 Most Notorious Vince McMahon Urban Legends

5. He Legitimately Hates People Sneezing

Story: There have been a number of instances where former and current WWE employees have talked about how Vince McMahon gets really angry if somebody sneezes. Yeah that's right, a sneeze. Here's how Paul Heyman explained it to Ariel Helwani of the MMA Hour in 2010 when Heyman wasn't in WWE: "If you're in the room with Vince McMahon and he sneezes, go on your Blackberry for the next 20 minutes because nothing you say to him is going to get through...Cause he gets really pissed off. Cause he can't control the sneeze." Former WWE creative team member Dave Lagana (who now works for TNA), wrote on his blog in 2011 that Vince McMahon hated sneezing: "If there is one thing Vince McMahon hates€it's sickness. €˜There is no such thing as sick€™, was the usual response when someone would try to use it as an excuse. Vince is a workaholic and if anything gets in the way of his work, it makes him angry. Paul Heyman would joke that Vince would get angry with his own sneezes. Perhaps it was because he couldn€™t control it." There have been plenty of other people that have shared stories like that too. Why People Believe It: Because it's Vince. If you hear about somebody sneezing you can just laugh it off because it's so ridiculous, but due to it being Vince it's actually believable. Should We Believe It: Yes. A sneeze is an uncontrollable human act that we all do from the time we are born until we die. We can't help it. Some sneeze more than others. Most people don't get angry if somebody sneezes because it's a part of life. Apparently Vince really hates it, though. That's pretty damn weird.
