10 Most Insane Things That Ever Happened At WWE's Gorilla Position

4. Gerald Brisco Is Tortured By Vince McMahon

No, he wasn't 50/50 booked, banished to catering, or told not to stream on Twitch.

He was actually tortured - as in, Vince McMahon knew that Gerald Brisco had a profound aversion to a certain bodily function to an extent that he vomited whenever someone passed wind in his proximity. In a "priceless" "rib", Vince thought it would be hilarious if he did that in Brisco's face in the gorilla position before making his way to the ring. Unfortunately for Vince, he, erm, miscalculated: he was more likely to follow through with a prank in 1999 than with a push in 2022.

The stain was visible on Vince's khakis, which, according to Jim Ross on an old Opie & Anthony appearance, he must have changed out of - because he piled further misery on Brisco by thrusting the soiled pair in his face. Triple H, in a bid to buddy up to management, attempted to hold Brisco in place. What awful, obsequious behaviour. Brisco used his amateur wrestling prowess to escape, mercifully, meaning Triple H did a job to a stooge.

Still booked himself to go over everybody else under the delusion that he was actually tough.
