3. Vince Sparked Up A Joint In Front Of Donald Trump

Here's how the Vin man got his revenge.

On the same podcast, Chris Jericho piped up to share a hilarious story Vince had chuckled his way through recanting. He'd been invited to a concert at Boardwalk Hall in New Jersey, and he sat in a private box with Trump and some heads of state. At one point during the show, without warning, McMahon pulled a joint out of his pocket and sparked it up.

When Donald turned to him and said, "You can't smoke that joint in here", Vince replied, "I just did" and cackled. Meanwhile, some of Trump's friends were incensed by his behaviour and wanted to know why he thought it was totally fine to smoke a doob in front of them in a public place.

The logical answer is, "...because I'm Vince McMahon, damn it", but Jericho didn't say that happened. He did, however, note that Vince got a kick out of messing with the Donald in front of his high-society chums. Trump didn't see the funny side.
