Vince McMahon Accused Of Being Drunk & Disorderly At Rocky Johnson's Funeral
The WWE Chairman and Pat Patterson may have left a sour taste at the service.
Yesterday saw the late, great Rocky Johnson laid to rest following his sad passing last week, and there's some unfortunate news to report regarding the conduct of Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson during the service itself.
Former WWE wrestler Harry Smith confirmed the duo's odd behaviour while speaking to Devon 'Hannibal' Nicholson of The Hannibal TV last night. Smith reportedly told Nicholson that "Vince and Pat were really strange or they were drunk, or they were a bit of both." He claimed that Patterson's microphone was cut at the funeral because he was talking for too long. His final line? "Last night I was drunk and I was drinking water, or what I thought was in the sink, and then the toilet seat fell on my head."
While speaking at the funeral, McMahon is purported to have said "Rocky Johnson was a great wrestler, but the greatest thing he ever did was marry Ata... and Ata had some kids." He then left the service.
In Smith's opinion, the duo "were completely out to lunch." He also stated his belief that Patterson's behaviour could be due to him "going senile."
It must also be noted that Nicholson also spoke to another attendee, Al Rosen, who said that Johnson's family weren't at all upset by Vince's behaviour. "Vince is a character and he made a little joke," he claimed. "The family wasn't offended."
