10 Shocking Vince McMahon Moments You Totally Don't Remember
10. Vince Threatens To Do Something Bad In American English, MUCH Worse In English
In a fascinating time capsule posted by @IandrewDiceClay on Twitter recently, further insight is provided into the bizarre Vince and Stephanie dynamic.
You don't want to say that they flirt with another, those McMahons - though Shane did describe his sister's breasts as "cute" once, which is totally f*cked - but there's a certain...level of familiarity there. This closeness is less likely to put smiles on people's faces, and more likely to creep them out more than the merch stand at a BritWres show.
Back when father and daughter were at loggerheads during the millionth control of the company angle, Steph evolved as a performer from hysterical scenery-chewing wallflower to someone with a modicum of personality. The McMahon melodrama was derided massively by - yes! - the "IWC" at the time, many of whom thought they just got in the way. There's a reason why 2000 was so great and why WrestleMania 2000 still sucked sh*t, and it was because the show was built around this family of total headcases.
In one volleying promo exchange, Vince said that if Stephanie did not cease her behaviour, he would "blister her little fanny 'til it turns blue".
Awful in English English, right? Fanny means your minge over here, not your bum.
But even in American English, Vince still threatened to repeatedly smack his daughter on her arse to the point of scarification, to which Steph showed said arse to him and gave it a little slap of her own. It's no wonder accepted society thinks we're all lunatics for watching this sh*t, Christ.
The weirdness did not end there...
