10 Emotional Times Vince McMahon Cried His Eyes Out

3. Beat Up By His Stepdad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0WCIGPrCCM Vince McMahon may be a billionaire with a life of luxury at his disposal, but it wasn't always this way. He's from a firmly working class background, raised in a North Carolina trailer where his stepdad used to beat him mercilessly. When McMahon recounted these terrible incidents to E60, he got visibly emotional about the horror he went through. "What I learned is that in a fight of any kind, physical or otherwise, if I'm not dead, I win." McMahon elaborates further on his stepfather's abuse, his eyes reddening with anger and sadness. "He used to beat me unmercifully, but I knew if that I lived through that beating, f**k him I won." The E60 cameras deliberately focused on Vince's eyes in this passage of film, highlighting the fact he was close to tears. He holds it together and doesn't break down completely, but it was clear that these incidents scarred him for life.
