10 Shocking Vince McMahon Moments You Totally Don't Remember

4. Vince Shows You What "Such Good Sh*t" Actually Looks Like

It's one thing to imagine Vince McMahon laughing at the drivel he promotes on television.

You've likely pictured the scene once or twice before. You've probably seen Beyond The Mat. When Vince being Vince laughs, Vince f*cking laughs. He throws his head back, he cackles loudly, the full bit. So you can readily imagine Vince, as Ricochet steals some item or other on Monday Night RAW, going full ham and almost sh*tting himself as his sides split. Perhaps he points and says "Ner ner ner ner ner!" and wiggles his fingers with his thumb placed on his nose.

The shocking truth is that Vince's "Such good sh*t" face is far, far more unsettling than mere juvenile delight.

Captured in 1999, when the WWF and Vince himself was profiled by ESPN on Outside The Lines, Vince was met with evidence that he was - in an hyperbolic ratings grab of a moral panic - corrupting America's youth. He was shown footage of a disgusted Mark Henry rebuffing the advances of a cross-dresser when he realised that said person possessed a penis.

Shuffling into a quiet convulsion of sinister laughter, Vince, apologising for how much this scene broke him, said "I'm sorry, I find that comedic".

He was in arch evil villain mode on national television when he wasn't playing the Mr. McMahon character.

Because they are one and the same.
