2. The Spirit Squad Blew An Air Horn In Vince McMahons Face
Kenny Dykstra didn't leave WWE on the best of terms. Not long after he departed the company in 2008, there was talk of a falling out with John Cena. This stemmed from rumours regarding a relationship between Cena and Mickie James which happened behind Dykstra's back. These days, the former Spirit Squad member is apparently on better terms with the organisation, providing an interview for WWE's official website recently. During his time as part of the Spirit Squad (a group of young hopefuls which also included the future Dolph Ziggler), Dykstra won the WWE Tag-Team Titles. Before one particular WWE television taping to introduce the faction, the member decided to do something out of the ordinary. Camping out in Vince McMahon's office, the Spirit Squad waited patiently with an air horn. Recanting the story to the Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling podcast, Dykstra says the boss didn't return to his office for the scare. Looking to make a statement, the group interrupted a WWE production meeting with the horn, which was obviously a risk. McMahon could have been irritated, but he liked the aggressive nature of the Spirit Squad and agreed to put them on the main roster.
