Uh oh, here's Y2J again, and it won't be for the last time on this list.

Don't worry, Jerichoholics, your hero isn't the one Vinnie Mac aimed fire at on this occasion. It was his WrestleMania 33 opponent instead. On Kevin Owens' WWE 365 special in late-2017, it was revealed that the gaffer was none-too-pleased with his performance at 'Mania that year. In fact, he thought it was terrible.

When KO returned backstage, he was already feeling down himself. To him, the match never really got going, and so he decided to seek some sympathy from the warm bosom of McMahon. Shock and indeed horror, folks. He didn't get it, and Vince even replied to Owens' "Are we good?" with a stoically blunt, "No".

That was a somber moment for KO, not least because it was the first time Vince had been visibly unhappy with his work. Worse, it happened at WrestleMania and in the same venue Owens had watched 'Mania XXIV from the stands in as a fan nine years earlier.
