30 Most INSANE Things Wrestlers Have EVER Said On Live TV
18. Vince McMahon Threatens To Give His Son "A F*ckin' Beating"
Cast your minds back to the 22nd February 2016 Monday Night Raw opening segment.
Vince McMahon found his WrestleMania 32 card savaged by a roster ravaged by the realities of the schedule he'd cultivated. The injury bug had bit just about everybody from his top slate, and there were an alarmingly small number of major matches lined up for a card he'd laughably intended to somehow fill the 100,000-seater AT&T Stadium with.
In the fiction of it all, McMahon was ignorant and thrilled with himself as usual, preparing as he was to award his daughter Stephanie with a tin pot award during a tin pot time. In real life, his solution was one his character had to pretend to despise. A returning Shane McMahon skipped out onto the stage, back from seven years of the wrestling wilderness and all the way into an eventual 'Show Of Shows' Hell In A Cell bout with The Undertaker. The contest proved an unlikely ticket-seller, even though Shane's return to screens would harness more bad than good over the long term.
McMahon knew it, and captured the future frustrations of his audience with one jaw-dropping decree.
"I have one last opportunity to give you a f*cking beating".
He never took the opportunity, though he did fire him after the Royal Rumble 2022 just before he resigned in disgrace for the first time later that year.
