10 Most Notorious Vince McMahon Urban Legends

8. He Taught Kelly Kelly How To Dance Like A Stripper

Story: Vince McMahon taught a woman how to be a stripper? Sounds crazy, but according to former diva Kelly Kelly that's what happened. Kelly, who debuted as an exhibitionist on the ECW brand in 2006 when she was 19, didn't have any experience in wrestling when she got hired. She was brought on board after WWE was looking to hire models. She also didn't know how to dance like a stripper, so apparently McMahon taught her. Here's how Kelly explained it to Maxim magazine in 2011: "I'd only been training for two months when I found out I was going to start appearing on TV€”as an exhibitionist! When Vince McMahon showed me the routine, I was in shock, but, you know, anything to get my foot in the door. It was the most nerve-racking minute of my life." Why People Believe It: Vince is not afraid to do anything to entertain. It was probably his way of bringing out the shyness from this 19 year old girl that had no idea what she was doing in wrestling. While the image of a man of his 60s teaching a woman how to dance like a stripper sounds awkward, we wouldn't put anything past Vince. Should We Believe It: Yes. She really has no reason to lie about it although perhaps she said it just to create headlines. It seems like one of those things that WWE wouldn't want people to know, but she said it in order to get people talking. It sure did.
