10 Crazy Secrets From The WWE Writers Room

10. Vince McMahon Wanted To Destroy And Rebuild A Hospital

We've all heard about his penchant for ketchup with his steak, and we've all heard how sneezing is the devil, but have you heard about that time Vince McMahon wanted to completely destroy a hospital as part of a WWE angle?

This absolutely nuts story was served up by former WWE writer Jon Rineman during a Reddit AMA, with Rineman giving an insight into how the cogs of McMahon turn.

"As far as a crazy Vince story: we had an idea where someone was going to attack somebody in a hospital. And then I had an idea for it that Vince liked, then Heyman had a bunch of ideas Vince liked. So, Vince thinks about it and says: “We’re really gonna f**k up this hospital. How much would it cost to rebuild?” He stops, thinks a second, then says, matter-of-factly, “Hmm. I might have to donate a wing to a hospital. How much does that cost?” So, our writer’s assistant started looking up how much it cost to donate a wing to a hospital. Then later in the meeting, another idea came up that nixed the hospital idea, and Vince said, “Which one is the one without buying the hospital wing? Do that one.” Then he stopped and said, “I should donate a wing somewhere though…” and it got quiet while he thought. Then he took out his pencil and I saw him write 'Hospital.'"

Of course, what's most shocking is that this facility wasn't referred to as a local medical facility.
