10 Times Vince McMahon's Real Life Things Became WWE Props
5. His Limousine
Lord only knows how much his limo cost by comparison, but Vince wrecked that too.
In typically elaborate McMahon fashion, WWE elected not to just rig up a basic shell with no interior for the famous explosion angle on the 11 June 2007 Raw. Instead, they blew up an actual, functioning limousine that had ferried the boss to and from buildings many times.
In other words, Vince's insatiable lust for purchasing expensive vehicles and then ruining them in front of the cameras had struck again. At least the limo, unlike the Corvette Austin wrecked, had actually been driven a bunch of times before it bit the dust.
Of course, WWE's violent explosion gimmick proved pointless in the end. It was supposed to write McMahon off television for good, but the Chris Benoit tragedy forced creative to change tact - WWE couldn't continue a lurid and tasteless death angle in the shadow of real horror.
