10 Unusual Demands Made By Wrestlers

8. Vince McMahon Is Indistinguishable From Mr. Burns

Vince McMahon isn't taking bumps these days, but he counts as a wrestler, and this demand sure as sh*t counts as unusual.

It also counts as "Vince has absolutely lost the f*cking plot".

As disclosed to Chris Jericho on Talk Is Jericho, former WWE producer Scotty 2 Hotty has revealed that Vince ordered the road agents to dye their beards and cut their hair. The road agents generally don't appear on television, unless they're a part of some pull-apart brawl or other. They assist in structuring the matches that you see on television. It shouldn't matter what they look like; if anything, it probably damages their seniority and authority when some youngster is looking for advice only to be confronted by an Attitude Era midcarder literally ordered to undergo a midlife crisis by their demented boss. Luckily for WWE, the vast majority of the roster is nearly road agent age, so it doesn't really matter. Still weird though.

What f*cking difference does it make.

These people aren't on television. The demo cannot see them.

Vince McMahon is so haunted by the concept of death that he can't abide anybody looking anything remotely like a corpse.
