An irritated Vince McMahon wasn't in a particularly contrite mood when faced with the pleas of of Tiger Ali Singh, Chaz and D'Lo Brown during the dirt-worst period of their respective careers.

Late comedian Patrice O'Neal shared McMahon's side-splitting stubbornness during a 2005 Opie and Anthony interview discussing his time as a WWE writer.

He first knocked back Tiger's request. According to O'Neal, Singh noted how his family had felt the gimmick was mockery, but Vince was unrepentant. "Shut up and put on the turban. Get out there with the stupid turban" was his curt reply.

He was armed again when Chaz and Tiger both expressed concern. Quashing their respectful wishes to take the low-card team in a different direction, he fired back, "You and D'Lo are gonna put on those f**king turbans and I don't give a sh*t about desecration".

It was another searing insight into the mind of a madMcMahon.
