10 Times WWE SmackDown Went Too Far
3. The Mad King
'You don't see guns, you don't see knives, you don't see rapes." - Vince McMahon, defending his company from criticism long before he simply settled on "putting smiles on faces".
"Terrorists are gonna burn down The Undertaker's house. His children are going to be kidnapped. His wife is going to be raped by a motorcycle gang right in front of him." - Also Vince McMahon, at his megalomaniacal worst in 2003 before his daughter and son-in-law elbowed him out of the way and started talking about "putting smiles on faces".
Embroiled in a feud with 'The Deadman', McMahon delivered his vitriol when General Manager Paul Heyman revealed that he'd be gone until their Survivor Series match for The Chairman's own good. McMahon flipped what turned out not to be his wig and came out with all of this.
He wasn't done.
Turning on the former ECW chief, he threatened that if Heyman didn't oversee these oddly specific atrocities, he'd strangle him to death, then fire him. Pity poor Paul - it wouldn't even be the worst abuse he'd face before f*cking clean off in 2006.
