Typically, Vince McMahon's closest lieutenants would give him something like an ugly Xmas sweater for Christmas each year. The whole thing became a running joke, one that Bruce Prichard wanted to deviate from after his boss had been through PR hell.

Via his 'Something To Wrestle With' pod, Prichard told co-host Conrad Thompson how he once gifted Vince a unique piece of artwork to commemorate his exoneration from the WWF's much-publicised steroid trial. A crude depiction of the art is posted above, and it's probably (definitely) nowhere near the beauty of Bruce's purchase.

The artwork showed a plane flying over New York City's skyline and dragging a banner behind that read, "Vince McMahon & Titan Sports: Not Guilty". It's one Prichard believes is still hanging in Vince's office to this day, right next to the portrait of him topless and greased up riding a motorcycle.

For the record, Bruce says the latter piece doesn't exist...
