10 Wrestling Facts We Didn’t Know Last Week (Jan 29)

2. Vince McMahon Hated Mr. Kennedy Chewing Gum

As mentioned during the intro to this piece, Ken Anderson was on the cusp of major success in WWE before it all went wrong for him. Now, he plies his trade in TNA as Mr. Anderson, but there was a time when Mr. Kennedy was supposed to become a genuine headliner in Vince McMahon's juggernaut organisation. Sadly for him, things didn't work out that way. Speaking with WSVN-TV, Anderson told how he and McMahon didn't always see eye-to-eye regarding certain traits of his on screen character. As Mr. Kennedy, the wrestler liked to chew gum during his appearances. This added a cocky vibe to his overall presentation, but the head honcho of the entire company simply was not a fan of this decision. On more than one occasion, Vince would call Anderson over following his performances and ask him when he was going to stop chewing gum on TV. It's funny to think such a minor thing could bug McMahon so much, but Anderson says he really detested it. Nonetheless, it didn't stop the man from visibly doing it every time he sauntered down to ringside.
