10 Times Vince McMahon Allowed Smoking On WWE TV

8. Vince McMahon

Understanding a key reason why Vince sporadically allows cigars on his television is that he’s a fan. While he loathes cigarettes, he loves cigars. He has ever since his younger days when he saw his favourite wrestler Dr. Jerry Graham out in public lighting up cigars with $100 bills. The genetic jackhammer ever since believing cigar smoking to be one of the manliest things you can do.

Once promoted on WWF screens in the 90s was an issue of Cigar Aficionado, a magazine dedicated to the world of cigars. The issue in particular being one with Vinnie Mac (pictured with Undertaker and Big Show towering over him) centered on the cover. Inside he was even pictured smoking cigars ringside with son Shane.

Vince was quoted "I really like them most after a big meal” and “To me, relaxing on occasion with a cigar is just a chance to squeeze a bit of relaxation into my life." Given he’s the CEO of one of the largest entertainment companies in the world well into his 70s and factor in his insane work ethic and that he only sleeps a few hours a night, anything that can relax Vince is for the better.
