25 Things You Didn't Know About Vince McMahon

24. He Was Court-Marshalled At Military School (And How It Happened)

Used to try and curb his increasingly wild teenage behaviour, Military School was supposed to calm a young Vince but instead only played to his thirst for madness.

The story of what got him into the most bother is about as Vince McMahon a tale as you're ever likely to hear, only more Vince McMahon than you're thinking right now. From the man himself;

"I wasn't caught for some stuff that would have meant immediate dismissal, like stealing the commandant's car. Colonel Zinneker had an old, green, beat-up Buick, and he always left the keys in it. He also had a dog he was nuts about. I love animals, but one day I couldn't resist giving that dog a laxative. I put the laxative in some hamburger and the dog did his business all over the commandant's apartment, which thrilled me greatly."
