10 Moments WWE Don't Want You To Find On The Network

7. Vince McMahon's N-Bomb

Where to find it: Survivor Series 2005

The inclusion of Booker T here (and in an entry still to come on this list) is, in WWE's mind, the sole reason why this segment was absolutely just fine thanks very much. That's perhaps the most cynical element of what is otherwise a vignette entirely designed to portray the company of what it really was and still is - a billionaire's playground.

McMahon was being filmed patrolling the halls at 2005's Survivor Series, stopping to give Eric Bischoff a pep-talk/b*llocking and John Cena a secret handshake the two had carefully concocted since 'The Champ's megapush began.

He then just...does it, doesn't he. For no good reason or context, McMahon drops the n-bomb. Included with a "ma" before it as if to soften the blow, the boss then strolls past Booker T who - after feigning a bit of shock - is given the floor to do his old catchphrase and (in the eyes of The Chairman) vindicate the whole thing. Wasn't okay then, still isn't now, no matter how much of a team player the former WCW Champion clearly was and always will be.
