10 Fascinating Facts About WWE In 2019
7. The Miz’s Dad Was Vince’s “Favourite”
Elsewhere at 'Mania, Vince McMahon was gushing over The Miz's dad being involved.
Yes, it's true. George Mizanin balling up his fists at Shane was apparently Vince’s fave moment from the entire night. George told the Jobbing Out podcast afterwards that McMahon approached him backstage to give feedback on what had happened. Also, Vince really wanted to know why Mizanin had entered the ring.
That's the other part at play here: George wasn't actually supposed to get in the ring and confront Shane at all. He claims he was ad-libbing because Shane had told him to follow his lead out there mid-match, because things might change. Feeling it, George decided to steal his own WrestleMania moment and earn a spot in the wrestling meme Hall Of Fame.
The live crowd lapped it up as daddy Miz threatened to punch some McMahon lights out. Backstage, Vince thought the whole thing was hilarious and wanted to personally pat George on the back for his initiative. Yeah, Mansoor was probs scratching his head at that...
