10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Rhyno
3. "Boooooooriiiiing!"
In WWE, nobody's opinion is more important than Vince McMahon's, and the Chairman remains the be all/end all. He's the guy everyone is desperate to impress. We saw it in Kevin Owens' recent WWE 365 documentary, when the former 'Prizefighter' looked crushed at Vince's dismissal of his performance against Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 33, and this will likely continue until the day McMahon finally steps aside.
Agitating the boss can often result in immense professional embarrassment, and Rhyno found this out first-hand in 2003. He was wrestling fellow ECW alumnus Tajiri on a random house show, and with the Japanese star stuck in a headlock, McMahon marched down the ramp and brought the bout to a premature end. Both wrestlers were perplexed. Nothing had been planned beforehand, but with the crowd's "BOOOOORING!" chants as justification, he brought it to a halt and moved on to the next segment.
A frustrating incident, but one that fortunately took place away from the TV cameras. Can you imagine McMahon doing the same on a live episode of Raw or SmackDown? Surely not even the Chairman would be so unprofessional...
