10 Shocking Vince McMahon Moments You Totally Don't Remember

7. Vince Gets Xenophobic In London

Vince McMahon, a paradox of a human being, is the most lowbrow purveyor of trash TV ever to have oozed out of 'Murica's folds - and he thinks what he does is sophisticated.

He would make for a very appropriate symbol of his country, and what's more wild is that the man was even worse in the United Kingdom as the WWF promoted exclusive pay-per-views on the other side of the pond.

"We can't do an event like SummerSlam 1992 ever again," Triple H has repeatedly told the media.

But an event held in London in which Vince McMahon uses xenophobia to draw jeers from the crowd and books a spot in which Jacqueline's t*ts are exposed in front of minors is absolutely fine!

Addressing that crowd, in a nation disgraced on the day of writing by the ugliness of racism 23 years later, Vince claimed to be a visionary and foretold the "future of Great Britain". He claimed that Great Britain would become a "cesspool of decay and debauchery" that "in all likelihood will be governed by a Prime Minister of Pakistani extraction".

This line drew the intended jeers, as Vince's vision of multicultural Britain was as emphatically rejected as much then as, distressingly, it is now.
