1. Vince McMahon's Reaction To Braun Strowman As A 'Rosebud'

Picturing Vince McMahon's face as big Braun Strowman wandered past as part of Adam Rose's party entourage is rather fun. Here was a McMahon pet project in the making, all tarted up and acting like a total fool as part of a conga line. That wouldn't do, and Vince let everyone close by know it.

"Who is he, and why the f*ck is he doing that?", roared the boss.

Braun told this tale on Sam Roberts' 'NotSam Wrestling Podcast'. McMahon hadn't been aware of Strowman's hiring as an extra beforehand, but he was absolutely furious his staff would let someone with Braun's look play such a comedic bit-part role. Vince swiftly took charge of the big man's affairs and everything changed.

No more party lines for Strowman, no more dancing and no more silly outfits. He became a personal project for McMahon from that day on, and said on the pod he's had a close relationship with the boss man ever since.
