Vince McMahon f*cking loves a rib.

He's not the kind who'll puncture a tyre though. Nah, the Vin-man is more the sort who will step on your gigantic foot and say, 'You've got a flat tyre there, pal'. This is not a guess, by the way - it's something that Paul Wight says McMahon used to do regularly whenever they were in one another's company.

The fun didn't stop there. Vince would "short-sheet" Big Show's hotel room beds on the road so that his legs were poking out the end of the duvet. When they were on trips to the Middle East, the boss would also make sure that Show's room was scorching hot all day. Then, when Wight retreated from the roasting sun outside, he'd be blasted by 100-degree heat indoors too.

At that point, Vince would stroll past the door and ask, "Something wrong with your heater, pal?". Paul laughed as he told Jericho (who surely knows all about McMahon's prankster ways) that Vince is "such a bully".
