25 Things You Didn't Know About Vince McMahon
3. He Didn't Know What A Burrito Was...But Ate Them All The Time
As revealed by ex-WWE writer Dan Madigan, Vince McMahon nearly nixed a spiked burrito angle between Eddie Guerrero and The Big Show because he believed nobody would get the reference. Following that, he put some ketchup on his burrito.
As he explained; “The whole concept was: ‘We’re going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.’ So, Vince goes, ‘Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?’ It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, ‘Well, we know what a burrito is.’ And Vince goes, ‘Well, where the hell have I been?’ But, the funny thing is...every day at noon, Vince’s secretary would walk into the office – the writing room – with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that’s the idea – when you’re in a bubble and in a business where you’re ostracized from society, it’s you and them, that’s it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world”
